<p>11th? Did you mean 9th?</p>
<p>Yes, yes I did ^ ^</p>

<p>Um, I don’t call it unprepared if people can do the work and don’t get bad grades. If they ITR, that’s unprepared. If they come here and decide they don’t like engineering/science and transfer, well that’s counted in Mudd’s dropout rate too, but it’s different. Yeah, I think you’re taking a sexist attitude towards admissions here.</p>
<p>I don’t disagree that you’ll have to work hard, blackroses, but I think you’d have to work hard whether you were male, female or transgendered, and whether you were accepted to the UCs or not.</p>

<p>and that’s because of academic reason??</p>

<p>Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have gotten in, and i honestly do feel bad about that. I thought I wouldn’t even get in as a female with my stats. I know I’m not the brightest student. But now that I did get into Mudd, and given everything works out financially, I know I’m going to have to work extremely hard to even have a remote chance of succeeding. I’ll do my best, and hopefully that will be good enough- I really want to be able to get into a good grad school, and work hard to get the grades at Mudd that will allow me that future opportunity. Hopefully I’ll be capable of achieving that. If not… I guess I’ll just have to find out where my future takes me.</p>
<p>I’ve been on here a little while, and am glad to have had both of your guys’ help and advice multiple times. Thanks again for your input on the matter.</p>
<p>Also… I really hope that people won’t think I’m stupid at HMC or be a bit bitter toward me because I got in, which is likely due to me being female… I don’t think I deserved to get into Harvey Mudd… I just hope I won’t get that impression from others towards me…</p>
<p>Blackroses: I’m just like you, so you won’t be alone. I know that I’m not the brightest student either and I might end up at the bottom as well. I really do like Mudd a lot and I hope that Mudd will give me the education that I seek. </p>
<p>Even if I don’t commit to engineering, I love science and that’s all I can picture myself doing.</p>
<p>Blackroses and minz, You were accepted to Harvey Mudd. Obviously the admissions officers saw that you had the qualities to be successful Mudders. There is no reason to think you aren’t good enough. If you weren’t good enough, you would never have gotten in in the first place. Yes you are both female. And yes, there is a higher acceptance rate for females. But, something in your application assured the entire admissions committee that you belong at Harvey Mudd. That is the truth.</p>
<p>Thanks aettsenoh :)</p>
<p>Blackroses - you said, “I really want to be able to get into a good grad school, and work hard to get the grades at Mudd that will allow me that future opportunity…” </p>
<p>You have a lot of enthusiasm and eagerness to work, so hopefully you will do fine at Mudd. But go into this knowing that “fine” at Mudd probably means working your tail off for a GPA that might not look great on grad school applications. It seems to be one of the "cons"of Mudd, but as you know there a plenty of “pros” too.</p>
<p>Mudd is a place where being extremely bright helps, but how hard you work determines where you stand at the end of the day. I wasnt trying to say that you would have to work extremely hard and others wouldnt, just dont get discouraged if some cute tricks to problems get by you that others catch. Keep at it and you will get through.</p>
<p>got into berkeley. (that’s the only UC I applied to) though that doesn’t matter anymore :p</p>
