<p>haha welll they’re more open than I am. So how does it matter?</p>
<p>Reed is not the only college that has this type of program but I know a few who have taken advantage of this back door entry to CalTech.</p>
<p>Whitman College is another example.</p>

<p>Did you guys know that Cooper Union awards a $140,000 full-tuition scholarship to EVERY admitted student? Gee!</p>
<p>^Olin used to be like that until last year. I heard that they will resume need blind 100% tuition from next year - i m not 100% sure.</p>

<p>I’m not even talking about graduate engineering programs.

<p>ani, I have looked at US News rankings and I understand them. GaTech does deserve the undergraduate ranking it got from US News. I was not disputing that at all. </p>
<p>Why does US News publish a separate list for schools that don’t have PhD program?</p>
<p>App process is stupid!!! …
Now … What the hell is supposed to be there on a school profile guys ?
IDK how I’ll go to the princi with this… he’s already irritated with me for asking reccos and transcripts.</p>
<p>School profile, oh yeah! How are people going about and making one?</p>
<p>@tippu- Hmm yeah. Idk why they publish a separate list for schools that don’t have a doctorate program… Maybe it’s because those colleges aren’t recognised otherwise even though they’re amazing for undergrad?</p>

<p>That’s a good example of what goes into a School Profile.</p>
<p>@CompSciFan,
Which school are you from? The school profile is basically a prospectus of your school. It contains brief summaries about the facilities of your school, and a bit about its history. Its not even important to send the school profile, colleges really don’t care about it.</p>
<p>^I hope so, because until now I didn’t even know what a school profile is.</p>
<p>But it’s really useful in some cases. My school principal told me today that it would be a good place to describe stuff like IIT-JEE prep wherein a student is stuck in the college for the whole day. You can also have your principal explain how the school’s extra-curricular system works - like school prefect, house captain and so on. </p>
<p>Use the School Profile to explain your background and environment!! Don’t waste space by writing the school’s philosophy. It’s a very good tool really.</p>
<p>^ that’s good advice rsaxena!</p>
<p>Does the school profile go on the letterhead?</p>
<p>@ Kaira: I really need to do a ton of useful things but I had to point this out. My name is debarghya9 and not debarghyra lol.</p>
<p>And I’m from Kolkata aka Calcutta.</p>
<p>Ani’s from, nah, I should leave this to him.</p>
<p>Wassssssssssssup people.</p>
<p>Oh and colleges dont give a **** about school profiles.</p>
<p>My school prepares the school profile. It’s the same for every student. Isn’t that what happens? :S</p>
<p>^Yes but every school is not so co-operative.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Mainly because its always about the school’s philosophy etc. It does make for rather boring reading, especially when you have 30,000+ applications. </p>
<p>Still, I see no harm in submitting one, especially as we are international students. They will, at the very least, skim through it; so we might just as well submit one, for whatever it’s worth.</p>
<p>I’ve started posting in TiT after a loong time. So, who’s applyin out this year?</p>
