Backups

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I just got in to UT Austin and USC for business, which are both top 10 business schools. I also have a full ride to Oklahoma City University, one of the best business programs in the state. So I’m feeling a lot less nervous about Penn. I’m still dying to get in though. </p>

<p>Nothing compares to Wharton.</p>

<p>So where did everyone else get in for their backup?</p>

2

<p>Right now I'm only into one backup school... Ursinus College at which I have a nice scholarship. I'm also is good shape to get into Franklin & Marshall and Vassar. The other schools I've applied to are Haverford and Amherst.</p>

<p>If I get into all of my schools (HIGHLY unlikely) it's between Amherst and Penn.</p>

3

<p>My backups are </p>

<p>TCNJ (Honors)
UDel (Honors)
UMD (Scholars)</p>

4

<p>I got into NYU Stern, Penn State, and a $70,000 scholarship to Northeastern. All B-schools, of course.</p>

<p>LOVE YOU JON</p>

5

<p>Wasn't your cc name jcwillbanks before? Am I just imagining that?</p>

6

<p>My back up school is the University of Miami [I received the full tuition Ronald Hammond Scholarship ;-)] Still, UPenn (Wharton) is numero uno.</p>

7

<p>No that's my aim Mike.</p>

8

<p>70,000 to NEU? Which scholarship is that? (got in yesterday, so I'm curious!)</p>

9

<p>Dean's Scholarship. $18,500 per year. :)</p>

10

<p>^ Congrats!! EA or RD? (sorry bout hijacking the thread here)</p>

11

<p>well these aren't really "back-ups" per se because they're great schools:
Cornell
USC with big scholarship</p>

<p>and with Penn that makes my top three list for RD... decision's going to be tough... but a portion of me still keeps Penn at the top for me, so I'm really praying to evolution that I get in.</p>

12

<p>UNC
Appalachian State University (close to full scholarship after grants)
UNC Greensboro</p>

13

<p>UMich engineering is my backup, and im in. ill also wager ill get into stevens institue of technology. UCLA is probably an in too, although i havnt received a likely letter like a lot of the engineers have. </p>

<p>Penn, columbia, berkeley (UC), northwestern, hopkins are my reaches. but penn is far above any of the other schools, even if i got a full ride id take penn in a heartbeat :) !! (although my parents might think otherwise....)</p>

<p>and yes, i realize the incredible inferiority of penn's engineering program to the other schools i mentioned. but penn is penn, and that does it for me !</p>

14

<p>Son has the following to choose from</p>

<p>USC engineering as a backup (accepted with very good $$)
Maybe Northwestern (pending)
Univ of Arizona -- Full ride</p>

15

<p>My backups so far are UVa (echols) and William & Mary. I've waited so long that I have literally lost any interest in what college I end up going to.</p>

16

<p>nyu was my back up</p>

<p>got in about a week ago!</p>

17

<p>liana, RD. I was really surprised because I applied last minute on a whim..It's really nice to be appreciated, but I'm not going there. :/</p>

18

<p>Cornell Engineering (likely)
UNC - Chapel Hill (OOS) - Robertson, Honors (potentially)
University of Missouri - Columbia (Walter Williams Scholar)
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (Institute of Technology)</p>

19

<p>I got into UMCP (Honors, pending Banneker-Key) and UMBC (Got Meyerhoff)
Also got into Emory, but it's not my backup though.</p>

20

<p>Backup: Boston University? but its getting more difficult to get in there I hear... And Temple University</p>
