Got waitlisted at Kirkland. Anyone that got accepted to Kirkland that isn’t planning to go?
Where do you find the decision? In the Gmail address?
@CCThunderfin sure, and thanks! I’m a white female, I’m involved in all of my school’s band programs and two out of school music programs (one of which I am the vice president of), I was a founding member of the All-Ohio State Fair Band Clarinet Quartet, and science club VP. My school doesn’t offer any CS-related extracurriculars, but I took a web design class and a couple of “multimedia” classes where we built games on scratch.mit.edu. I think they look for leadership in extracurriculars, but I could be wrong
@carattica Good to know, thanks!
So how many waitlisted people know of the location they were waitlisted by?
@CCThunderfin Thank you!

I got accepted to kirkland today and I am surprised by some of yall’s stats and that there is a waitlist on kirkland
My stats are…
New SAT : 1110
Cumulative GPA : 2.8
None to minimal background knowledge regarding coding/programming.
AP comp sci principle is only programming class I’ve taken.

For people considering to apply in the future, I just want to say don’t let your test score or gpa hold you back!

Hi guys! I just checked my email and saw I was accepted at the Pittsburgh office! (Which is weird, cause I’m only 3 hours away from Atlanta, while Pittsburgh is 10 hours away.) Congrats to everyone who made it, and good luck to everyone waiting on a response!
Any internationals accepted so far?
I got an email saying I was accepted yesterday, but I didn’t get the scholarship.
@jeffrandell You got Jax??? Wow, that’s impressive. I applied for Jax but I got rejected but to be fair, I had more tech/engineering experience than health
@LonelyWolf1775 same dude lol. I have no research exp and haven’t taken AP Biology or anything. I just demonstrated my comp sci experience.
and thanks!
