Decision Thread with Stats

littleathiest · March 16, 2009, 4:38pm

I just noticed that there wasn’t one thread where people could post their stats, so thought I’d make one for those who are looking at the school for next year and are curious about how past applicants fared. The template below is taken from the MIT regular decision thread… just delete the space in each of the brackets to make it come out correctly.

*Decision: ACCEPTED *

I got my acceptance today with a Justice Brandeis (full-tuition) Scholarship! It still hasn't sunk in yet - Brandeis is just such an amazing and selective school. Everyone who got in should be extremely proud of themselves.

Stats:[ul]
[] SAT I (by section): 740 CR, 740 M, 730 W --> 2210 C
[] SAT IIs: 780 Biology M, 770 Math II, 730 Literature
[] ACT: 36
[] APs: US History (5), World History (5), U.S. Government (4), Comparative Politics (5), Calculus AB (5), Biology (5), Psychology (5), Language (5), Statistics (5), plus 8 more this year.
[] IBs: None
[] GPA: 3.8 UW, 4.3 W
[] Rank: 25/675-ish
[] Awards listed on application: National Merit Finalist, National AP Scholar
[li] Other stats: None that I can think of [/li]
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] ECs listed on app: Orchestra/Pit orchestra/'cello lessons (9-12), Science Olympiad (10-12; founder in two schools; captain 11 and 12), Quiz Bowl (9 JV, 11 and 12 Varsity), Young Democrats (11, VP 12), Jewish Club (10, founder and president in 11th), Debate (9-10, Varsity Letter), Environmental Club (12), NHS (11-12), Science NHS (11, Secretary 12), Assistant teaching at synagogue (since 8th), Confirmation and Hebrew High (since 7th) 
[] Job/Work Experience: I was paid when I worked with special education kids at my synagogue in 8th-9th grade. Now I volunteer with kids who struggle but do not have special needs.
[] Essays (subject and responses): Why Brandeis essay was pretty strong but kind of generic (used a similar format for most of my schools). Personal essay was about my nutty family and the values I've learned from my grandmother and great-aunts - all Holocaust survivors. Brandeis probably gets many similar essays but the twist was that the essay was kind of humorous. I was told it was well written, but my sources are my mom, brother, uncles, and cousins, so...
[] Teacher Recs: From my AP Biology teacher/Science Olympiad coach who thinks I'm G-d or something, so it was probably really strong.
[] Counselor Rec: Didn't see, counselor doesn't know me very well, so I really have no idea.
[] Applied on: Um...December?
[li] Hook (if any): I attended three high schools - maybe that's a hook?[/li]
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[] State or Country: Jacksonville, Florida
[] School Type, Average Stats of School (if available): medium-large public school. It is a very high performing school in a nice suburb, but almost everyone goes to a big, sporty state school. Definitely not a bastion of intellectualism. Area leans conservative.
[] Ethnicity: Caucasian
[] Gender: Female
[/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:

Again - way to go everyone (even midyear is a great accomplishment!), and maybe I'll see you next year!!!

Lots of ECs, including president of USY, hospital volunteer, private tutor for Hebrew & Spanish, TA at Hebrew school for 4 years, etc.

So far she has been accepted to 6 schools, waitlisted at WUSTL (like everyone else!) and is waiting on 6 more, including UCLA & UVA (#1 choices.)

well,
something I've noticed on CC is that people who received rejection/waitlist letters are understandably much more hesitant to post their results and I'm sure seeing the number of "accepted" posts increase is all but encouraging. So I highly doubt that this thread reflects the greater pool of applicants.
