What is a rising student? It may be a silly question but I’ve never heard that term until I read it here. I don’t know if that would apply to me or not because I’m in community college.

Did any engineering applicants get a response yet?

Just got out of philosophy class and got a heart attack reading through these comments. Regardless… ACCEPTED!!!

Decision: Accepted

Gender: Male
State: International
Current College: Along the lines of UNC, UMich, maybe NYU
Credits: Will have ~60 by the end of the term; rising junior
Major: Economics (CAS)
HS GPA: 3.8+
ACT/SAT: 32+
AP: 10+ with near all 5’s
SATII: Submitted three at 750+
College GPA: 3.7+ taking fairly rigorous workload in major and elective classes
EC: Several leadership positions in campus organizations. Active in student government. Also participated in student-to-university councils.
LOR and Essays: LOR’s were probably good but impersonal (I go to a large school). I would rate my essays 7-8/10. They clearly defined my goals in transferring but didn’t really contain any standout hooks.
