blinn team/ waitlist/ admission

<p>i’ve been on step 3 since November. The wait is extremely tough, but i guess we will just have to keep waiting.</p>

<p>yeah. and as soon as anyone one has an update, we can post it here :)</p>

<p>this could possibly be a good sign for you guys, but who knows</p>

<p>WAITLISTED</p>

<p>3.1 unweighted, 3.6 weighted
2280 (800 W 740 R 740 M) on SAT
34 on ACT
National Merit Finalist
AP Scholar With Distinction
Ethnicity: Indian
State: Kansas</p>

<p>I thought I was in for sure…</p>

<p>Unbelievable—what in the world!!!
Did they offer you anything else but wait list?</p>

<p>zaqwsx170…I am a little confused. According to your stats you should be an automatic admit. Did you apply late? Am I missing something?</p>

<p>Do you have to be instate to qualify for the auto admit? I’m not sure, but that could explain it. Otherwise, that’s just a wacky decision!</p>

<p>zaqwsx170 - Aw darn! Just because you’re from Kansas! Your ACT is Ivy League material! >:[ A&M is being really jajfsaklgfaskg.</p>

<p>im sure if they offer you waitlist, you get the other 3 options too, and with his scores he probably would be auto admit but he probably isnt top 25%.</p>

<p>but hopefully a good amount of us come up off the waitlist</p>

<p>edit: hes OOS so he doesnt auto admit doesnt apply to him</p>

<p>Yeah guys, the letter came with the 3 options (Blinn Team, the option to go to another Texas college, or go to Galveston for a year).</p>

<p>Yeah, I dunno…I thought I was gonna get in for sure too…lol…</p>

<p>I’m applying to UTD too, we’ll see how that goes…</p>

<p>Yeah guys, I’m definitely NOT top 25%, not even top 50%. My GPA just isn’t very good.</p>

<p>=(</p>

<p>Hopefully UTD will see me more favorably…</p>

<p>EDIT: And no, I am not a convicted murderer/felon or anything. Lol.</p>

<p>see, this is what worries me!
if crazy good stats like zaqwsx170 get waitlisted,
i’m worried where i’ll end up :(</p>

<p>yea but he is OOS, and alot of people with good stats dont get in, i mean UT CAPd people with sats just as good as his, it really just depends on alot of factors</p>

<p>you will probably know in the next 2-3 weeks since you applied so late</p>

<p>And here is the injustice in the whole admissions process, people like him will not be admitted even when <em>most</em> of their stats are better than others applying from instate. However, lets just get real here, zaqwsx170 was hurt mostly by his rank. 89% of admitted students are in in top quarter and 99% of students are top half of their high school class. If what he says about his rank is accurate, he had a verrrrryyyy poor chance of acceptance based on this stat alone.</p>

<p>everyone cross your fingers for me haha :)</p>

<p>Yeah, believe me, I’m horribly worried about how this whole college admissions business is going to turn out…=(</p>

<p>I think my parents will kick me out if I don’t get in somewhere good…</p>

<p>ha, my parents want me to go to community college;
they make 6 figures combined, but have NOTHING saved for me for college, and it sucks
If i can make blinn team, hopefully i can afford it without them</p>

<p>ughhhhhhhh</p>

<p>lol they make 6 figures? and they cant pay for your college? my dad doesnt even make 100k</p>

<p>gateway program for me. so not too bad? was hoping for admission but gateway is better than nothing…</p>

<p>Jubjub, did you check AIS today? AHHH they still haven’t updated mine ): I’ve been on step 3 for 5 months. Argh. But yeah, gateway isnt bad at all! You can most definitely make a 2.0 in 6th weeks! (:</p>

<p>jubjub, did you find that out today???</p>
