<p>neelesh, i don't know, i have yet to open the package yet, it's at my dad's. i'll let you know today when i open it.</p>
<p>ecnerwalc3321, online it says they can send acceptances within four weeks and there have been a lot of people on the UW message board saying they got acceptances. The deadline for submitting your app is Jan 15, and priority is Dec. 1, so if you submit it priority you find out early i think.</p>
<p>birdofprey425, your scores are awesome. You are probably the first person with that array of scores in the history of Foley High School. Columbia and MIT should be a cakewalk. They will not see anybody else applying from public schools in South Alabama with that array of scores. Normally privates UMS Wright, St Paul's, and, occasionally, McGill-Toolen would give you a run for your money, but I don't believe anyone from those schools presents that profile this year. In any case, the McGill-Toolen folks pick Notre Dame over HYP. For a public school not known for high scorers, you are truly outstanding. Why did you not apply to HYP? You'd be in just like that.</p>

<p>hey allykat838, which major/school did you apply to for NYU?</p>
<p>undecided, college of arts and sciences</p>
<p>got into Notre Dame- 1460, 4.2 GPA</p>
<p>Zuma - where are you from? Nobody knows about Foley ;)...</p>
<p>I didn't apply to HYP because I researched them a good deal and I decided that's not really what I wanted. The MIT geek atmosphere and the Columbia city atmosphere appealed to me much more.</p>
<p>Zuma, where are you from? How do you know Foley High School? I go to Foley too. </p>
<p>As for the questions about the Tier scholarships at UA on the last page, I got accepted with full tuition even without the scholarship, but I didn't get any word if I got the scholarship. I did recieve a letter from the CBH program that said they liked how I was interested in it and should apply for the CBH scholarship. It doesn't matter though because I got into Columbia through ED and had to turn down all the money UA was going to give me. I don't care though, I would rather be dirt poor in NYC than rich in Alabama.</p>
<p>I just got into George Mason U @ VA.
It was my safety school, and I applied EA.</p>
<p>Be happy for me!! (unlike some Ib big shots I have to deal with @ my school :()</p>

<p>birdofprey425, Synthetic Angel, I track a lot of issues and places. Synthetic Angel, you are a rare bird, coming from down there on the Alabama Gulf Coast and spurning the great U of A for Columbia. I don't know that anyone has ever gone to Columbia in the history of your school. Has there been anyone? How did y'all even get interested in Columbia? That is not on the LA (only South Alabamians know what those initials mean) radar screen. I think there is probably one Columbia College graduate in the Mobile area, some guy in his late forties or early 50's. Are there any more? Let me encourage you both to try HYP. NYC requires a lot of adjustment for small town folks.</p>
<p>I have no idea about Columbia graduates in lower A. I hope none of the CC admissions officers are reading this because I'm not originally from this area. I'm from a suburb of Dallas, but both of my parents grew up in Alabama and they work at home so they decided to move back... so I'm not completely small-town. I did get the Harvard Book Club award and I went to what was essentially a recruiting picnic. There was one person each from a few of the Baldwin/Mobile high schools, along with Harvard grads in the area, of which there were about 20. I wouldn't be surprised if Columbia had at least 4 or 5 around here.</p>
<p>I got a bunch of junk mail from Columbia and Synthetic Angel researched online, went to the summer program and loved it, the college and the city. I'm not too worried about the adjustments... maybe I ought to be but Alabama isn't doing it for me at the moment.</p>
<p>Well I can't do HYP since I did ED, and I really didn't care to. None of the other Ivies really caught my attention. As for my interest in CU, I did some research online about schools and found it and I had also been reading Brian Greene previously. Last year, I applied and attended the summer, and absolutely fell in love. I actually really got into the whole big city feel while I was there, and I never really have been fond of small towns or LA anyways. I think some people from Foley went to Ivies about 10 years ago. As for Columbia you are probably right. It tends not to be well known, and when I tell people that's where I am going they tend to respond with "Where is that?"</p>
<p>accepted at boston college honors program. . deferred from Georgetown but I applied to Walsh.. should i switch to Georgetown College to increase my chances?</p>
<p>wow, that's cool. So birdofprey and synthetic angel know each other. </p>
<p>Zuma- there's a pretty competitve public school in mobile ASMS that graduates Ivy caliber students each year. I actually know one girl(my friend) who graduate from there and went to study at MIT. She's at Stanford now</p>
<p>If ASMS is so grand, how come us public are going Ivy too.</p>
<p>Wow, you're so arrogant. I'm not even accepted yet, lol.</p>
