for Dietrich people - did you get into the SHS and QSSS programs? I’m wondering how selective they are
Denied 
@theonthe I was not invited to join either of those programs. My SAT is on the lower end so that is probably why. Did you get into them?
Deniiiied for school of comp sci
@charcoalatey2021 yeah, I have a 2300 SAT for reference
@theonthe Oh okay! Makes sense lol. What’s your major?
@charcoalatey2021 I applied for statistics, which is related to the program outline of QSSS, which might be why too.
accepted to MCS!
@theonthe That’s awesome! Congrats!! I applied for psych so maybe it has to do with major and scores?
how do you know if it is a priority waitlist or normal waitlist
Accepted into SCS. 1st choice
Got in Dietrich for Stats. Invited to SHS and QSSS
Got into School of Computer Science… idk how though lol
Accepted into CIT. So freakin unbelievable…, it didn’t sink in that I got in until I saw the FAT envelope in my mail. Anything is possible y’all , it is really a crapshoot in admissions because w/my stats I genuinely was going to not apply. Hopefully, financial aid will meet my need…if not I’ll be fine…in time
for some reason my financial aid package hasn’t been decided yet… they have received everything… is this normal or is it just me…
@unfortunatemango Financial aid packages have come about three days after decisions have been released.
Saw that someone in my state got a letter today, and thought I was rejected. Ended up being accepted into their Architecture program!
3.6 UW gpa
29 ACT
Good Portfolio followed with a great interview
So psyched!! It’s my #1 ATM!!! Couldn’t be happier with the result!
Hey guys just wondering do you think priority waitlist is good (for deitrich)? I am simply so surprised they even considered me at all? Do you know how many people are put on the priority waitlist versus the regular? Im gonna push really hard for them to accept me if theres space ill get my guidance counselor to call and tell them its my number one school (and complete the form by this morning). I’m actually happy even though its a waitlist because mellon is such a top ranked school and i thought they were so strict on grades like jhu so i thought they would just flat out reject me. would be great if you guys could lmk what my chances are from priority waitlist thanks!
GPA and SAT stats:
GPA: prob around a 90/91 out of 100.
SAT: 2240
Math SAT 2: 800
Bio M SAT 2: 700 (lol IK not good)
EC’s:
Varsity public forum debate 4 years
Tutored inner city kids from Newark an hour a week on mathematics and science for their GED’s (most dropped out of high school)
Co-created a club for my high school called sounds for seniors, where we play music for senior citizens with dementia.
Biggest selling point: I did research at Harvard University in psychology and helped design and pre-test a cognitive intervention for people with mild cognitive impairment that were most likely to develop AD from their initial diagnoses. I got my mentors to write recs so those probably helped a great deal. the sounds for seniors club I actually created specifically to help me emotionally connect with people who have the disease that I was studying and designing interventions for in the lab.
Varsity lax.
There are a bunch of other things that I also put on my resume and application but I believe the ones stated above are the most noticeable and the ones I spent the most time on. What do you guys think? Pls let me know and you can be brutally honest lol. I will tell you that I did apply to Deitrich (if I didn’t tell you already), so look at my stats and ecs in the context of that school. Thanks so much!!!
