Admitted, Deferred, Wait-listed, Rejected

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Here are my stats and college choices. Please write admitted, rejected, or waitlisted next to them. Yale is my first choice and I'm applying EA, so you could also write deferred for that one.</p>

<p>The typical Ivy-Leaguer-wanna-be repertoire:
SAT: 2340 (800 CR, 740 M, 800 W)
SAT II: World History 800, Literature 800, (taking Math IIC this fall)
GPA: 5.1 weighted, 3.9 unweighted
Class rank: 2/700
Extracurriculars: Yearbook (editor-in-chief), Key Club (committee member, treasurer, VP), Young Democrats (founder, co-prez), Habitat for Humanity, Speech and Debate team (various awards), Spanish tutor, Peers Educating Peers, NHS, choir, Varsity Track (11th grade), JV Soccer (11th grade)
IB Diploma Candidate
AP scholar
Work experience: administrative assistant at a clinic, intern for a professor at Butler University</p>

<p>The interesting stuff:
I just returned from a year abroad in India, where I got to do such interesting things as participating in a seminar on Tibetan culture at the Sera Je Monastery, assisting with tsunami relief, hiking and whitewater rafting in the foothills of the Himalayas, and going to formal with a Bhutanese prince! Also, I formed a partnership with my school in Indy which ended up raising $1200 to support a local orphanage.</p>

<p>In ninth and tenth grade I spent 11 months working on Howard Dean's presidential campaign. I was a Dialing for Dean precinct captain and the Youth Coordinator for my region.</p>

<p>I was suspended for participating in a walk-out against the invasion of Iraq. So um....will this help me or hurt me?</p>

<p>I am totally serious about cooking. I love to cook. My crepes suzette are earth-shatteringly magnificent, if I do say so myself. </p>

<p>I'm taking AP physics C through the EPGY program at Stanford.</p>

<p>Working on two original research papers. One is on meningitis preparedness (epidemiology) and the other is on the concept of divine infinity in Madhyamika Buddhism and Jewish mysticism (comparitive religion).</p>

<p>Here are my colleges:
Yale (EA)
Brown
Swarthmore
Pomona
Reed
U of Chicago
Wesleyan (Connecticut)
George Washington</p>

<p>here's a better idea: apply, and get the real answers. top tier schools are crapshoots.</p>

<p>Kriegz:
Well obviously I'll be applying to all these schools. But until I get my results, I'd like to waste everyone's valuble time by asking their opinion.</p>

4

<p>you'll for sure get into all of those schools, except for Yale and maybe Brown, which are crapshoots.</p>

5

<p>.... since you took the AP Physics C EPGY program at Stanford... would you consider applying there???</p>

<p>ALSO.. congrats on your stats... I say accepted at all except Yale.</p>

6

<p>Stanford was my first choice for years, but then I went and toured and didn't like it at all. When I did my east coast college visits, Harvard was my first choice, but I ended up not liking that one either. But Yale rocked. Do you really think I'll be rejected??? :(</p>

7

<p>you have a chance at Yale. I'd say a 50% chance with EA</p>

8

<p>You have an excellent shot at all the schools. I do not think it is that they think u will be rejected at Yale. It's just so competitive (9.9% accepted), there is literally no way of forseeing. Your stats are amazing, I envy you. Good Luck.</p>

9

<p>I agree with GreenDayFan... Yale is just such a crapshoot ivy...</p>

10

<p>can any of you theatre majors interested in a b.f.a. program speak first hand about julliard, calarts, usc? thank you for your time and energy.</p>

11

<p>um, relevance? why don't you post your own thread?</p>

12

<p>I don't know why you're asking. You have a great shot at any school you apply to with your GPA. Your rank is great. Your SAT is great. You should have some good hooks with your ECs on your Essay. My only concern is committment to ECs. Which one's have you been in all 4 years, showing "passion" to them?</p>

13

<p>Most of them I haven't been able to do for four years, simply because India got in the way (they didn't have Key Club or Young Democrats or anything).
So right now, my only 4 year EC's are choir and Habitat for Humanity.
My 3 year ones are speech/debate, Key Club, and Young Dems.</p>

14

<p>just wondered if anyone had a clue regarding some programs, they are important to me so that makes it worthy. i have kid at three of the colleges you are trying to get into, find if you are kind and have tolerance for others
that matters just as much as your slate.</p>

15

<p>I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to come across as rude. It just seemed like it had nothing to do with my post.</p>

16

<p>No, lynnjch, sorry but she (?) was right. Your post was completely irrelevant to the thread. I dont care if you are looking for information on some programs, it is common sense that you should make your own thread. I am obviously not the only one who felt this way because no one else responded to your post. Sorry, but don't accuse people of being rude when it was your own foolishness to post in someone else's thread about an irrelevant matter. You dont deserve an apology. And I dont care if I am being rude, either. P.s. If you have kids at three schools on her list, talk about that, don't attempt to hijack her thread.</p>

<p>i am so sorry greendayfan and gorbachev<em>sez, this is the first time i have ever joined a posting group and did not even know what "thread" until this am when i asked one of our kids. i was introduced to this site as a theatre major site and was just trying to get information regarding bfa programs in theatre. thank you gorbachev</em>sez for being kind and responding to my note, you will go far with that wisdom and compassion. greendayfan, may you find relevant in you life thread and along the way find compassion to understand that sometimes things happen out of unkindness or being rude but out of lack of knowledge as to how something works.
how do you start a thread and ask to a group that would be available to "post on your thread"? sorry and good luck gorbachev_sez, my only comment to you regarding getting accepted is do not allow them to lose you, stay an individual. good luck</p>

18

<p>i meant does "not" happen out of unkindness or being rude</p>

19

<p>Okie dokie, thanks lynn.</p>

20

<p>Yea I understand you had lack of knowledge. I was not upset with your posting on the thread. I was upset that you had the nerve to call Gorbachev rude. I dont take back what i said. What she said was completely appropriate and not rude at all. SHe noted that your post was irrelevant which it was!Deal with it! And I have compassion and kindess...for people who deserve it. At the moment I had posted, I did not feel you deserved compassion, I felt you needed to get a piece of my mind. I am sure you are nice, and I am sorry if you were offended...kinda.</p>
