<p>I think you got into all of them except for Yale and Stanford… and mayyyyyybbbe Columbia.</p>

3

<p>You clearly have a shot, but I’d recommend narrowing down your college list. Don’t apply to all the Ivies just for the sake of it.</p>

<p>EDIT: Not all of them, but you get my point.</p>

4

<p>^hahah. You need to read everything man…</p>

5

<p>You probably got into Dartmouth, Columbia, Duke, NW, and the UCs.</p>

<p>For WHYPS, I’d guess 3/5 and maybe a waitlist</p>

6

<p>Oooh, so far, not too good for CC =(</p>

7

<p>Gonna go with Dartmouth, the UCs, and Northwestern. WL/rejected by the rest.</p>

8

<p>Harvard: REJECTED
Yale: REJECTED
Princeton :REJECTED
Columbia: REJECTED
Wharton: REJECTED
Dartmouth: Accepted
Northwestern: Accepted
Duke: Accepted</p>

9

<p>It was obviously a fluke and you got in everywhere, no need to show off</p>

10

<p>In at everywhere except HYPSUpennWharton, maybe like 2 waitlists.</p>

11

<p>I was in at UC’s, NW, Duke, Wharton, and Dartmouth. Waitlist by Columbia and Hahvahd, rejected by the rest.</p>

<p>Dartmouth '13!!</p>

12

<p>So why’d ya choose Dartmouth over Wharton? haha I remember chancing you way back when =] Good luck at Dartmouth.</p>

13

<p>Congratulations on Dartmouth.</p>

<p>llpitch, I personally think that Darmouth is underrated on these boards. Someone else I know turned down Stanford and MIT for Dartmouth. And of course, there are the “fit” factors.</p>

14

<p>I totally agree Dartmouth in underrated on these boards. My brother chose it over wharton as well and he’s doing incredibly well. He went to a top 3 bank, worked in Private Equity, and now is at HBS. And I know he had ten times more fun at Dartmouth than had he gone to Wharton.</p>

15

<p>llpitch, I vaguely remember you chancing me as well. Pretty cool.</p>

<p>It ended up being a personal fit as opposed to an academic one. Even though I have an inclination to do banking/finance in the future and Wharton would be perfect for that, I just could not let go of Dartmouth’s atmosphere. I had already spent three weeks there in my summer business program and I fell in love. The school spirit, the outdoors, the people, the pride…all of those things made Dartmouth the better fit for me.</p>

<p>It did come down to the last second though, lol. I had actually already SIRed for Wharton electronically because of a yelling mother, but I changed my mind the next day and I felt a lot, lot better.</p>

16

<p>I’m learning Mandarin Chinese right now x] it’s soo hard, though. </p>

<p>UPenn- You got in.
Wharton- Never heard of it? So I can’t say for sure.
Dartmouth - I think you got in.
Harvard - It was probably a big stretch, but you might have gotten it.
Yale - I don’t think you got in.
Princeton- You probably got in.
Stanford- Maybe, either way.
Columbia - Probably got in
Duke - Got in
Northwestern- Got in
UC Berkeley, - Got in
UCL - Got in</p>

<p>That’s just my guess…</p>

17

<p>Yea… I would have chosen UPenn over Dartmouth any days… lol :wink:
But good job overall! You are making me feel better about my chances!</p>

<p>check mine out too!
