denied. Good luck guys!
rejected. But it said there were about 1100 applicants for only 30 spaces… so …it is less than 3% of us getting in! whoop
Rejected.
Accepted oh my god, most amazing surprise of my life. Congratulations to everyone, a 3% acceptance rate means it’s honestly a crapshoot. Was a pleasure stressing out with y’all for the past few months 
Accepted, I was worried that my call was a delusion lol glad to finally have the confirmation that it wasn’t.
waitlisted
Accepted after getting straight up rejected last year; I’m still in shock!
so theres basically no chance that i get off the wait list right
rejected
omg, just found that I got accepted to both NYU and Duke this morning; I couldn’t be happier! On the other hand, I already decided to go to Berkeley, so anyone on the waitlist shouldn’t give up their hope. :-*
Accepted. Someone should start a Facebook group.
Accepted! Still unsure if I actually will transfer to Duke but someone should definitely start a facebook group.
Waitlisted !! Kinda surprised that I received this spot, hopefully I’ll get full admission !
Rejected.

@Manunited0901 I’m a rising junior.
@Manunited0901 rising sophomore
congrats, any tips offer? I am class of 2019 and want do transfer to Duke or Berkeley on the Fall of 2016.
I’m an international student from Colombia, so admissions was probably not as strict with ACT/SAT/AP scores…
I was a little bit sloppy in HS, so I had to make up in college to prove myself: I hope you see it’s never too late to start improving! I was admitted to Pratt as a rising sophomore; I was definitely not expecting it!
Anyway:
Highschool:
4.1/5.00 GPA (somewhat sloppy)
Rank: Top 40%
School Government: House Captain (most prestigious leadership position there)
Special Arts and Music Diploma
1820 SAT – 520CR, 550W, 750M… (I had to take this again in college)
AP Calculus AB: 5
AP Physics C Mechanics: 5
AP Music Theory: 3
College:
(2nd best, if not best, university in Colombia)
22nd highest national entrance exam score in the country (45,000 applicants)
4.8/5.00 GPA – third highest in the entire university.
Department Rank: 1/450
3 consecutive times awarded a “Golden Tuition Fee” (Full scholarship awarded to the student with highest GPA in the program–all semesters included).
Participated in some robotics events.
ASME student member.
2090 SAT – Math: 790, Critical Reading: 630, Writing: 670
SATII Math II: 800
SATII Physics: 800
31 ACT – Reading 25 , English 30, Math 36, Science 34
111 Toefl – Reading 26, Listening 29, Speaking 28, Writing 28
My essays–which I believe were the main reason for my acceptance-- were mostly about how I believed transfering would help me get the tools necessary to come back to Colombia and make the difference needed for us to flourish as a nation. One creative essay talking about how I was able to get the best out of my parents’ divorce when I was a child.
I hope my post will encourage you, if you feel that your SAT/AP scores aren’t too impressive, to give it a try and be creative in your application!
