Am waiting for decision on honors program acceptance/rejection (the official letter)
waitlisted at Storrs. I’m in-state, 1300 SAT, 3.8 gpa. kinda sucks because UConn was my top school but at least there is still hope. congrats to those who were accepted!
1490 SAT (one sitting, RW: 740, M: 750
SAT Subject Tests: Chem + Bio somewhere in 700s
W: 4.2 gpa UW: 3.7? 3.8? (school has the weirdest and most confusing gpa scales)
Uconn was a school that I considered a safety, but I got declined. Does Uconn often reject students who they don’t believe will attend in order to keep their enrollment rate high?
@collegelehigh I don’t know if UConn has this kind of practice specifically, but ik it’s common for colleges to do this. Colleges that do this are called to have Tufts syndrome, which is basically an admissions office waitlisting or rejecting extremely-qualified students on the basis that those students will go to higher, top-tier schools regardless if the admissions office accepted or rejected them. After all, colleges do want to preserve their retention rates and all…
And yes, Tufts syndrome does exist but it is incredibly difficult to prove that a college is selectively ignoring over-qualified students because no one but the admissions officers knows why an applicant was rejected
