<p>Other comments: I wanted Cornelllllllllllllllllllll sooooooo bad... didn't get it...
But thank God; I did get almost full merit awards at most of my other schools.
I would've thought i'd be accepted at NYU at least, b/c Bing accepted me guess I was wrong. I will be attending Bing and hopefully transfer fall 2008 into Cornell Human Ecology.</p>
<p>23 schools is just absurd, sorry, but please....you fed the frenzy..and it makes me angry</p>
<p>Since all of you were very successful with college admission, perhaps you can give me some helping hands with my questions.</p>
<p>Your suggestion or advice will be appreciated.
1. My child took all 4 required high school math classes (honors geometry, honors algebra ¾, AP pre-calc, AP calculus BC) with AP calculus BC taken in sophomore year. He is not planning to take more math until college.</p>
<p>Mistake? Will colleges look at this as negative?</p>
<ol>
<li> He also took SAT tests in sophomore year. He is not planning to retake them.
SAT I (verbal 800, math 760, writing 700), SAT II MATH 1 (760), SAT II MATH 2 (730), SAT II US HIST (750).
Mistake? Should he retake to improve scores?
He is considering good colleges like ones you are accepted to.</li>
</ol>
<p>THANKS!!!!</p>
<p>"23 schools is just absurd, sorry, but please....you fed the frenzy..and it makes me angry"
Well citygirlsmom I'm sorry but... I honestly don't care what you think or not... If I cared I woulda sent an application to your house Early Decision, which I didn't. Therefore you should have no say. For one, your a grown woman on a board mostly for college hopefuls and then you wish to criticize them. Very impertinent of you. 20+ schools might seem to be a lot, but why not. What do you lose? At the college fair at my school, Certain colleges gave fee waivers. I didn't have to pay for about 12 of those applications. Obviously it worked in my favor since I was honored with 10 merit scholarships. P.S. I don't think that I listed 23 up there maybe you should recount!!!
=)</p>
<p>"20+ colleges, what do you loose?"</p>
<p>uhh..how about a lot of $$$ and a hundreds of hours? Seriously, I'm all for covering your bases and keeping your options open, but 21? Get real. That's overkill. Or lack of direction. Or both.</p>
<p>^^
Yeah but it's her money and her hours. It's none of our business.</p>
<p>Accepted: UC Irvine, UC San Diego, U of Michigan
