Here are my results! Thought I’d update as well as any answer questions for prospective students:
General: 3.85/4.0 UW GPA (top 5% of my class)
1520 SAT
750+ on Math 2c, chem, and bio e subj tests
@Emsmom1 I got waitlisted from a LOT of schools as you can see-- wasn’t sure if I’d stay on. I am pretty committed to Georgetown although I was decided between Vanderbilt and waiting for Cornell
You were accepted to 8- that’s fantastic! Seems colleges put lots of kids on waitlist this year. I told my nephew (waitlisted at 4/14 or so) not to count on getting in to a waitlist school, especially since he needs financial aid.
Anyway, have you visited both Georgetown and Vanderbilt?
@Emsmom1 I visited Georgetown for the GAAP weekend and LOVED it! Unfortunately didn’t have time to visit Vanderbilt (it’s pretty far form me and I don’t have time to fly there), so not sure if it’s the best fit in the first place. But loved Georgetown enough and can’t see being happier than I was there!
I also liked Cornell a lot (visited a few times), but like you said, waitlists have low accept rates
@kurtish1 I have a publication for a science paper as well as being president of 2 clubs at my school (more local level). I’ve participated and placed in a national competition (don’t wanna say because t can give away my identity) and have done a lot of community service. I’m not extraordinary-- didn’t do Siemens or anything like that, but I think well rounded?
