<p>These 4 i am appying to now as my safeties........</p>

<p>Whadya think?</p>

<p>You're definitely getting into your safeties. You'll also probably get into some of your other schools. I don't know that much about some of them, but I do know Oberlin. My sister graduated from there last year. You're ECs make you seem very different from the typical Oberlin student, which gives you an edge.</p>

3

<p>In at all the safeties. Rejected ED at Colgate??????? What were they thinking!</p>

4

<p>Honestly I think you have even a chance at Dartmouth/ Williams. I cannot imagine you getting rejected ED from Colgate, maybe your essay? Your stats are too good for ED rejection there.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at most of your schools. Dartmouth/ Williams as obvious reaches, the rest you should get into at least a few.</p>

<p>i asked for aid...........EFC was 6500$...........i guess that hurt me.........colgates decision really hurt and shocked me</p>

6

<p>Oh yeah, that is what happened for sure.</p>

7

<p>Any body else?</p>

8

<p>yeah i am surprised at colgate. maybe it was just a strong ed pool with lots of athletes, legacies etc. a girl i know got in ed for track.</p>

9

<p>Oh yeah.....Ive also applied to Singapore Management University where I was shortlisted for an interview and International University Bremen</p>

<p>iub is excellent i hear</p>

<p>To be honest, Williams will be really hard this year. They are aiming aboout 6% international student body ( 33 students). They accepted 15 in EArly decicsion. That leaves about 18 spot. Considering the yield rate (60% among internationals,), about 30~35 acceptance letters will be sent. This year, they got 971 international applications. However, good luck! wish for the best, and prepare for the worst. There is actually an article on this: <a href="http://www.williamsrecord.com/wr/?view=article&section=news&id=6302%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.williamsrecord.com/wr/?view=article&section=news&id=6302&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Oh, and make sure you apply for honor's course in UT; it will reduce your tuition to in-state level if you get in.</p>

<p>hey hopemanjkjk could you give me more information on this honors program?
Is is applicable for business?
Thanks</p>

<p>you must be first admitted to School of Business before you can apply to Business Honors program (Thus, only the most competetive business school applicants can apply. You should've gotten acceptance letters around December. Febuary 1st is the deadline). It is extremely number driven - average SAT score hovers around 1450 and average ranking around 3 percentile. </p>

<p>However, do not despair if it doesn't look obtainable; UT honor courses can be entered in sophomore year also (This case your freshman GPA will be the main factor). </p>

<p>Other Honor courses in terms of increasing difficulty:</p>

<p>Plan I (Liberal art) < Turing ( Computer Science. AP score of 5 in computer science required) = Engineering Honor ( Top 10% of engineering school acceptees) = Dean's honor (Natural Science. Immense research opportunities, small classes) = Business Honor program < PLan II (Liberal art. Extremley competetive. Academically, they are more qualified than most lower ivies)</p>

<p>hopemanjkjk is there anything for the spring session..........Im applying for spring 2006.</p>

16

<p>Dude don't go to UT Austin. I moved to Texas last year and started looking at colleges here. For someone with SAT scores like yours, I'd say UT Southwestern or Baylor if you want to go somewhere in Texas.</p>

17

<p>Are you trying to imply that UT is inferior to Southwestern or baylor??? </p>

<p>First of all, I live in Austin, and I know UT austin, its professors, its students, facility, etc. like back of my hand. UT honors program are almost as prestigious and selective as going to Rice University.</p>
