Ok thanks! Seems that most got accepted now are international. Congrats!
Son applied CS EA, got deferred, still waiting for a decision
W GPA 4.6
10 AP,
SAT 1560
Subject math II 800 (did not have chance to take more standard test due to covid)
National merit finalist(was semi-finalist when applied)
Well round, sport, volunteer, clubs, 5 years CYSO
Very disappointed
Great stats! Good luck to your son!
Great stats !
You can email the admissions and show continued interest as top choice.
With these stats he might got great colleges already right ?
It could be due to yield protection I heard in the past someone mentioned here on the forum ?
You are in state or OOS ?
Thanks!
My son did email them. But did not hear back from them.
We are OOS, in Illinois. And as expected he got rejected by UIUC.
He did get accepted by UW, but no merit, except $1000-2000 for National merit. The COA will be around $55k. I have another child in college. This is kind of too much to afford. That’s why we put high hope on Purdue.
I am very surprised how hard it is for college application. I feel sorry for kids.

Oh so sorry to hear , You son has amazing stats
Folks with much lower stats got in
Kind of odd he didn’t get in , Keep pushing for it
May be better call admissions office express interest.
May be it’s not too late , Try apply to Rose Hulman they give great merit scholarships
Good luck and all the best !
Thanks so much! He actually has more than 10 APs, I forgot to count social studies.
I think it maybe because our high school is too competitive and because of racial profile.
College is trying to build a community, they just can’t take too many kids from same high school with same racial background.
One of his friends had similar profile except higher GPA( w GPA 4.9+), was rejected by UIUC CS last year too. He end up attend a top 10 school with full ride. He got in first then transferred to CS major. I guess CS is just too popular.
Isn’t that too late to apply Rose Hulman now? Thanks!
We were getting email from Rose last week as well , their CS program is amazing as well lot of good companies come there to Hire.
Call Rose and ask I think this year due to Covid they didn’t get many applications what I heard
You can also try UPitt and SUNY Buffalo they are rolling decisions till June
We just got accepted this week from UPitt
UPitt is great at scholarships for high stats
Great, thanks so much, will check them out.

Is a 4.6W GPA in the top quarter or top 10%?
The more I see great stats like these, I feel like my S22 will be a rejection if going for CS/Engineering OOS.
The NM forum may have good ideas about places where you could still list #1 choice and get great scholarships.
