<p>Since I got my first acceptance letter (and most likely the only one I'll be getting until... April, or whenever most regular decisions come in), I thought I'd ask: to which other schools have you all been accepted? (Or, if you want, to which other schools are you applying, to which do you expect to be accepted... etc).</p>
<p>So I'll start off by noting that yesterday I got accepted to Penn State's main campus. Which has way too many people so I'd never want to go there, but... Yeah. ;)</p>
<p>congrats dtown. :) (and thanks for telling us youre female.)
i have also been accepted to PSU-UP. it was cool to see what an acceptance letter looks like in case i never get another one. i wouldnt want to go there for the same reason... way to big. and id rather not go to school in state... regardless of the fact that happy valley is a whole different universe from SE PA. </p>
<p>i also applied to Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Vassar, Macalester, WUSTL, Binghamton, Boston University, and Northeastern. </p>
<p>i expect to be accepted to the last three, the first three are obvioulsy reaches and the middle two are tossups.</p>
<p>I was accepted to uiuc, but I don't want to go there.</p>
<p>iplayoboe, Vassar is on my s's 'potential' list but we didn't have time to visit there, did you? What were your impressions, if you wouldn't mind saying.</p>
<p>I got into uiuc too, but that's my safety school.</p>
<p>i was accepted to the University of Minnesota, and I'm hoping to get into the University of Wisconsin-Madison shortly. My other reaches and matches include Harvard, Brown, Georgetown, Duke, and Northwestern</p>
<p>I got in to Rutgers like 3 days ago</p>
<p>I also got in to uiuc</p>
<p>i have not visited vassar. only yale and princeton</p>
<p>Andi, if it helps, I have a friend at Vassar now who was rejected ED at Brown last year. I was a little bit worried when she told me she chose Vassar because she doesn't fit the typical artsy Vassar stereotype. However, she's having a blast and loves the school. From the pictures I've seen, the campus is lovely and the dorms look very nice.</p>
<p>i visited vassar and didn't really like it. maybe it was just a personal preference thing. the people seemed nice enough, but i really didn't get the same vibe i got at other schools and i guess the word would be "un-friendly", but i can't quite explain it.
again, this is just one person and one day, so it's only a (possibly inaccurate) opinion---but i did talk to someone else who visited and he had the same reaction, so who knows?</p>
<p>I think that after April everyone who applied EA to Yale (or harvard, etc.) should post where they DID get into. Because everyone keeps pointing out the yale thread last year where so many people were deferred/rejected, but what i would like to know is where did a lot of these people end up going and are they happy there. i think it would be a little more reassuring. just a thought for a long time down the road...</p>
<p>Actually, signifyingnothing, that was one of the things that bothered me about that thread: a couple times I checked the profiles of people who got accepted, and it would say something like, "Undergraduate School Attended: UNC!" or something. I would then pull out my hair and scream, "YOU GOT INTO YALE." I think it happened twice. Hopefully I didn't just imagine that.</p>
<p>I agree with you, signifyingnothing. I would have liked to see that after reading the SUPERDEPRESSINGDEATHMASSACRETHREAD. Dtown, that kid who went to UNC is in the Morehead Scholar Program...and a few people might have had to turn it down because of a bad fin aid package :(</p>
<p>I applied to British schools as well as US ones. I figure if the US refuses to give me money, British universities are cheaper than private US universities (by 10,000 -15,000 US$), and they're only three years. Besides the UK is just awesome, and I'd love to live there for a while.</p>
<p>I've got offers from:</p>
<p>Imperial College London (38)
University College London (38)
University of Bath (35)
University of York (36)</p>
<p>s's other choices are Swarthmore, Princeton, Harvard, Vassar, Tufts and possibly Oberlin and Penn</p>
<p>Hey Andi, I noticed Oberlin was on your son's list...and well, its an AWESOME school...trust me. I live like an hour from it and a bunch of my friends live there and their parents teach there. But, I see you are from Boston, so let me warn you...there is NO mall within about 45 minutes of oberlin. The best thing you got there is an Acme...so, its majorly different than a city. But if he's looking for a small town and a great college, Oberlin is definitely the place</p>
<p>Tallyrand...I also considered applying to UK schools, but didn't go through with it. Those are great schools, congratulations! And yes, isn't the UK just the BEST? =)</p>
<p>I have heard only great things about Vassar, and judging by the strength of its academics, the breadth of its curriculum and the types of students it draws, I think it's awesome!</p>
<p>Andi and Ivyboy... I've heard Oberlin is spectacular. And it's beautiful, from what I've seen. Of course, I've only seen pictures, since a the brother of a close friend goes there. It's one of those schools that always looks good in pictures, no matter what. (Another one of these would be Richmond. On a visit there I bought a postcard picturing "Entrance to the University of Richmond School of Law." It looks like a castle, and it has all these red tulips... Glorious. And unfair!) Why can't I be as photogenic as some of these campuses? ;)</p>
<p>I got into Rutgers. And Montclair State University sent me a pleading letter that was pretty much like "We'll give you a full tuition scholarship. And room and board. And you'll get an extra $1000. Just please apply PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE." It seems mean not to bother, but I wouldn't go and I'm not doing any more essays than I have to.</p>
