I guess thats average compared to the ‘tough’ guys on here with 2200 SATs lol

647

college data.com doesn’t work well. I said I had a 1.0 and ranked in the bottom 50 and they said a top ten LAC was a “maybe”

648

yeah college data gave me the same chances for everything from emory to harvard.

649

This is a really helpful post… but it’s nurturing my inferiority complex more than anything I’ve ever experienced…lol. I’ll post when I get all my rejections!

650

Haha - me too - AWWLL my rejections… hehehe. At this point, I have just been keeping myself ** ridiculously ** busy with extracurriculars. Two nights ago I pulled an all-nighter to work on speech. It was fun though - I got first.

651

arrrr <em>anxiously waiting for end of March…</em>
haha fhimas88888888 I did that for a Spanish Lit essay xD - got A+ :smiley:

652

I’ll post here to give some of the sub-2200 SAT scorers hope:

1.) Wagner College (11K per year / Presidential Scholarship)
2.) St. John’s University (18K per year / Honors College)
3.) Pace University (15K per year / Honors College)
4.) NYU Steinhardt (20K per year / Lewis Rudin Scholar)
5.) CUNY Hunter
6.) CUNY Baruch
7.) Fordham University (Not sure about scholarship yet)

Rejected:

Nope :slight_smile:

Waitlisted:

Nope :slight_smile:

Attending: NYU most likely. I still cant believe I got 20K a year.

Conclusion: I underestimated myself. I applied to only 7 schools and only 2 (Fordham and NYU) weren’t safeties. After seeing my results, I regret not applying to Princeton. I thought I had no chance so I’d be wasting my time. I put a lot into my volunteer work and I think that’s what set me apart from other applicants, especially at NYU. It just goes to show that you don’t need super-stats to get scholarship $, even at schools like NYU.

653

If it’s any consolation, I think you probably would’ve been rejected by Princeton. But hey, you never know. =)

I am just looking through this b/c, and i have two years left, but how in the world does eveyone accumilate so many awards??? Where do u even here about them? i know about fastweb. but any other good places to find out about them?

656

“If it’s any consolation, I think you probably would’ve been rejected by Princeton. But hey, you never know. =)”

Yeah probably. I should have tried though. If I had cracked the 2100 mark, I might have given it a shot. I still can’t believe I didn’t apply to 1 Ivy, not even Columbia which is right in NYC. I think I’ll be happy at NYU though.

657
