<p>Hey guys, I was browsing through some old posts on CC, and I noticed that last year they had a thread with a list of schools each student had been accepted to; now that most decisions are out, why not we have one as well, just for the Indians Class of 2018?</p>
<p>To start with, I've been accepted to Penn State, Drexel, IIT.</p>
<p>as of now just REED COLLEGE</p>
<p>It would help future applicants, if you can post your basic stats (SAT,GPA,overview of your ECs,financial aid required), list of colleges you applied to, and decisions.</p>

[ *] Strengths: not many Indians applied this year
[ *] Weaknesses:
[ *] other colleges I applied to Emory , Haverford and Purdue ( the good old Indian safety )</p>
<p>yeah I planned to use Haverford and Reed as a back door into columbia engineering and caltech</p>
<p>^Congrats for getting in at Reed. I wanted to apply there, but ended up removing it from my list in the end because I already had 15 colleges.
As for acceptances, I have 3 rejections (MIT, UChicago, HMC) so far, lol :/</p>
<p>Congrats on Reed, @savemylife !
@Qwerty1739 we all know how competitive the admissions are in those schools, so cheer up! Maybe you’ll get accepted in the 12 other places! Where else have you applied, btw?</p>
<p>7 Ivies (all but Dartmouth), Stanford, Duke, Amherst, Williams & Colgate for me. (Yeah, 14 high reaches and a low reach :P)</p>
<p>Wow that’s quite a list! All the best :D</p>
<p>Reed==Steve Jobs(es) home college :P</p>
<p>So far, accepted to UCSD, alternate list at HMC, wait listed at UIUC, and rejected at UCLA and Yale-NUS</p>
<p>Congratulations @Savemylife !!
I’m a class of '19er and Reed is my top choice!</p>
<p>Congrats, @denhigs 
Getting waitlisted at UIUC itself is quite an achievement, trust me.</p>
<p>How did the Ivy decisions go for everyone?</p>
<p>Ivy decisions :
Rejected : Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth
Wait-listed : Cornell, UPenn (Did not ask for aid to UPenn)
Accepted : NOWHERE!</p>
<p>Others :
Rejected : UCB, CMU
Waitlisted : UMich</p>
<p>Too many negative decisions in a single day! </p>
<p>Rejected at JHU 
</p>
<p>Aw, that’s too bad
All the best, hopefully you’ll find the right place to be :)</p>
<p>So rejected from all 15 colleges I’d applied to. Fun.</p>
<p>Damn…did you apply to any safeties?</p>
<p>No, I’d rather be in India. Besides there aren’t any good safeties for people requiring full aid.</p>
