<p>That's my 2 cents. Hope that helped! Good Luck!</p>
<p>p.s. Did you apply to any safeties or backups?? I hope u did, because you never know! But then again, I'm just an applicant just like you, what would I know! lol.</p>
<p>phew*, you had me worried lol, it would be a waste if you didn't get into any but at least you can say you tried! I applied to one school in Penn though, Bryn Mawr, I like the all-girls thing. Yea, no problem, I didn't see it either until my academic advisor at Girls Incorporated (a non-profit organization I intern at) told me about it and it helps break down what's most important to those schools. I'm glad you have safeties and matches though! :)</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr is a great school.
I heard a lot about it and was going to apply there......then I found out it was all girls.
lol</p>
<p>btw you may already know this, but Brn mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore and Penn are part of the Tri-College Consortium.
This means you can take courses at any one of those schools if you are accepted to any of them.. And free transportation to all of them, except Penn.</p>
<p>haha, yea, that would of been some controversy if you did..instant rejection. lol.
Yea, I heard about that I'm definetly going to take advantage especially since I want to socialize with people of the opposite sex of course lol, but I was looking into Swarthmore's Intensive German course for freshmen, I'd soo do that! I want to minor in German and major in Biology. </p>
<p>But if money, grades, test scores, or anything else were not a problem and you got into all of your schools, which one would you go to? (aka. which one you like the best)</p>
<p>I actually googled that following my post, no results. haha</p>
<p>Since I plan to major in computer science, Carnegie Mellon.
They are one of the best schools for C.s..</p>
<p>Students there have a tradition where they build 'mobots' and compete against each others robots.. how cool is that? Wouldn't you want to do that? ha, maybe not but its something I would love to do.
Its also in state.</p>
<p>The one thing I like most about top schools like CMU is their environment. If your in an atmosphere where everyone is serious about learning, chances are you will too.
Well at least that's what i believe.</p>
<p>oh, thats cool. im taking ap computer science a and i love it suprisingly, i definetly am looking to build my own robot in college, im so interested in that! Maybe i could build one that writes my papers for me lmao. But i love building things especially at my science league competitions (i know very nerdy) but i dont care what ppl think, i love science lol. </p>
<p>And yea, i believe the same thing, i feel like top schools or good schools in general just have that we'll work hard now and have fun later. idk, that would b a good environment to b in definetly, especially with all the freedom college brings.</p>
<p>Oo, sorry ! But it sucks being the only female/minority in the class lol. There's 9 of them and 1 of me...I just hate that they don't ask questions! If I don't understand something I need explanation..they hate revealing to me when they're wrong! That's the only thing I hate, other then that, its like learning another language lmao.</p>
<p>And yea, I think my essays are amazing but I don't think neone else would find it as superb and creative as I do lol</p>
<p>At this point. You've already applied and have a 40 day wait, at the very most. Try not to worry about it. I'm sure you'll be happy at any of the schools you get accepted to. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks! U too : )
Ur lucky u even have five, there are only three in the entire senior class of 200 lmao..and there's no aa's in the sophmore class..its sad : (</p>
<p>Omg, I never tell people that they can't get into a school. I must have been cranky that day. I am sorry. Anyone has a chance to get into any school. Statistics are not everything. I hope you made yourself stand out in your essays. Good luck!</p>
