I didn’t submit SAT (cancelled 4 times [I’m from RI]). – 4.0 UW / 4.6 W
Rank: 1 (my school still ranks, but most don’t so I don’t think it mattered)

I come from a very low ranking school that only offers 6 AP Classes (took all possible honors) … I self studied for 2 that I put on commonage (4 and 5)… I took AP Biology and 3 Duel-enrollement Junior year… Senior year: AP CS A - AP Physics 2 - AP Calc - AP CSP - AP English Lit - AP Psych(exam only)

Outside Coursework:: 2 Summer courses at URI and 1 During this fall semester
I honestly think my ECs / Awards fit well with CS, and is why I got in…

NEED Founder and President
Technovation Founder / CEO
CS based Internship to help businesses struggling during COVID
Took part in first ever GGCyberstart and Cyberpatriot group
A+ Certified

I am also a varsity athlete and captain for XC, Indoor Track, and Golf and have had part-time jobs at Starbucks and BestBuy

Awards: AP Scholar, NCWIT National Award and Region Winner, State Governor CS Award, NEED School of the Year Award, (I also put RPI Medal on CommonAPP)

*As far as the FA comments, the same thing happened to me. I would love to go to CMU, but I got full ride STAMPS from Ga Tech; I almost wish I didn’t get in, but am obviously grateful for the opportunity :slight_smile: *

Where do you check for merit?

Full ride! Congrats! We would jump on that!

@smithonian29 and @tennis34
Where are you finding the financial aid info…? We only see the acceptance letter, with no mention of cost

My FA letter appeared right next to the decision letter when my portal refreshed

waitlisted for computer science… oh well

Same here… I guess they don’t offer merit or we didn’t get it. Will have to decline, the cost is too high when others offer HUGE scholarships.

Tell me if you like it. Also did she make it to BERKELEY?

Rejected

Congratulations
Could you please share your STATS

Son accepted!

Stats:
33ACT, 9th in class of 300, 4.3 GPA. Decent club involvement, but not crazy. I think her essays were very sincere (I worried they were a little too “funny”, but that’s her personality, and it shone through.) Did not apply to Berkeley. I was very happily surprised she was accepted. Will def go and visit.

Waiting list stats available here (click on Applying):

He is automatically on priority waiting list? That seems better than most others here on waiting list because we have to opt in, and we are only allowed to do that on April 9.

Sorry, he has to opt in.
