Accepted international, Pre-Data Science; SAT: 1550, TOEFL: 119. Bunch of EC related to scientific research and visual art. Go to a boarding school out of state.

when do you find out if you got the regents scholarship if you were invited to apply

the acceptance rate this year was a 5.5% i believe. There were 109,000 applicants and they only admitted 6,300. They admitted 13,000 last year

same girl… apparently they only accept like less than 15 freshman, but don’t quote me on that @CindyLeuWho

*5.7%
