LOL, never applied to Vandy, never liked Vandy.
Not sound corky, but my son got Duke, why would he wait for Vandy? 
Because going to college isn’t all about ranking?
We actually visited Vandy 2 years ago. The dorm is so small; it barely can fit 2 people. My daughter says OMG every time we mention that.
For some of you who are waitlisted or rejected, I REALLY get your frustration.
I was waitlisted to four schools and rejected to many others, but all I wanted to say is to keep the faith.
Good luck to ALL of you:-), and congratulations to the others who are accepted.

Rejected. Here were my specs:
Current institution: T5 University in Computer Science
Classification: Incoming College Sophomore (international)
High school GPA: 4.0 (11ish APs)
SAT: 1590
Activities: founded some clubs, one some international/national competitions in business and speech, organized home builds in different parts of Asia (raised ~ 12000USD as president and donated to Habitat), learned motion graphics through independent and worked as a freelance infographist part time, learned web development through independent study to create my portfolio website, worked as a translator for an envirochemical company for high school internship, landed a software engineering internship at a data security firm this summer
I was looking to relax my workload to focus on my personal projects (ivies have ridiculously lax workload compared to cmu/mit/ucb). Seems like I was not the right fit, however. But there are many other factors beyond the applicants’ control, so don’t be so discouraged by a rejection! It’s their loss at the end of the day.

Hello 
apply to Columbia. It sounds as if you would be a good fit there, with your CS major, philanthropy and creative efforts with website development. New York has unparalleled opportunities , especially in your field.
Thank you for sharing! You seem like such a strong applicant and so did everyone else. Crazy how admissions at ivies work. That’s why I was saddened to get rejected but I’m not so bummed actually because I know it’s really unpredictable. Good luck to everyone with finding the school that’s right for you and congrats to anyone who got accepted!
I also got in. Should we exchange contact?

Is anyone having problems setting up the PennKey? It says there are “no valid addresses” when I try to set it up.
Me too! Are they supposed to email us directions once we commit? Or is there a link to follow?
I have no idea! I emailed them yesterday. Hope that they’ll respond to my Email.
I’ll keep you posted as well!
Have you guys paid the deposit?
yes I have
I have too! For those of you who are committed, do we have some sort of group chat or anything? I’d like to make one if we don’t!
