Accepted! Congratulations to everyone who got in!
For those who didn’t, there’s something else waiting for you.
Daughter was accepted! College of Engineering/Mechanical Engineering is her preferred major.
4.0 UW, 4.9 W, #1 in her class of 350 at an average suburban (not Chicago area) Illinois high school with most rigorous coursework including 6 APs so far (5s in STEM subjects, 4s in History) and taking 5 more APs this year. 35 on ACT, 1530 superscore on SAT (800 in math), 800 on Math II and 720 on Physics subject tests.
ECs are solid but nothing special - president of two honor societies at school, tech captain of her FIRST Robotics Competition team (went to world champs last year), lots of STEM volunteer/outreach, summer job at robotics startup, JV volleyball and JV/V soccer player. Essays and recs were above average but nothing special.
She is very excited!
Accepted! 36/4.0 (no class rank tho–I’m not in the top 10%), pretty generic ECs except for climbing and a fairly selective in-state summer program. I’m from Tennessee. I guess my recs were pretty good, because I felt really meh on one of my essays.
I got the Trustee Distinguished Scholarship, too!
Congrats to all who got in, and good luck to those who were deferred or denied!
