WPI Class of 2023 Hopeful Thread!

Good luck everyone!! super duper nervous

Accepted to RBE w/11.5k per year. I’m so excited!!!

my portal hasn’t updated?

I just got REJECTED, feel so sad and dissapointed

Sat 1420
Sat subject 800 on both math and physics
GPA UW 3.8 W 4.6 A+ and A most of the class especially science class
Non AP
Working in university laboratory 8h/week, volunteer in mathematics and computer science organization, involve in community volunteers
Have national Science engineering fair and national chemistry competition.
Need financial aid (which I think is the main reason)

I don’t know what to do right now because WPI is my top choice, should I call them or email them?

My portal has not updated

Mine either ?

@Andy38 I am sorry to hear this. What Major? It is understandable to be disappointed however many many qualified candidates get rejected for many reasons out of their control (major spots all filled, not right demographic, wrong state of residency). For most it is rather random who gets in and who doesn’t. Hopefully for have other options which will certainly work out.

@BagODonuts were you deferred by any chance

Yup

@BagODonuts oh snap what if we find out much later

@Andy38 Whatever you do, don’t let this so-called (as you put it) “rejection” define you. You may very well be at the end of a VERY long line of early action applicants, all of whom took AP Calc BC and have no life rn (and are going to have to retake it next year anyway). I cannot understand why you’d get full denied and not waitlisted except that there is simply no room at this point, which has less to do with your impressive qualifications and more to do with the time of year that you applied. Did you apply anywhere else? Do you like your hs guidance counselor and can you go to her/him tomorrow and tell them what’s going on? If WPI was your top choice, your counselor should’ve told you to apply early action. If he/she didn’t, they need to drop what they’re doing and help you right now. Oh, and to most engineering schools out there, why are you so impressed by AP calculus and so condemning of kids who don’t take APs biut express and demo their interest in other ways?

@BagODonuts My major is Aerospace engineering, and I find this major is not competitive though. And thanks for your consolation, hope that you will get the best results soon! I have just emailed WPI and hope that they will give me another chance of consideration

@uniquefirsttry Actually, I’m not really close to my school counselor, and I do mostly on my own. Moreover, how ironic is that I submitted on EA day but instead choosing regular decision ?? and yeah it’s my mistakes, just hope that I will get another chance to be reconsidered. Thanks for your comfort!

Anyone still unable to access their decision? I was deferred from EA1, but i’m not sure that matters as it was supposed to come out when regular decisions come out.

Hi
Same here. Rejected
Sat:1440 GPA:3.9 applied as environmental engineering Female
FRC robotics, President of the biggest club at school, Chinese student lead, Red Cross. my former FRCcaptains got in last year, my bf got in this year by EA2 with 11k scholarship.
I really thought I will get in cuz my stats are way above , plus I’m female and my bf’s sat is 1300.
Idk what should I do, super sad right now, can I appeal?

@Holyjennybieber what is your bf stats? Gpa and stuff


@Holyjennybieber btw, try calling or emailing them to show your interest. Good luck!

If you got rejected now
 im sorry to say but I think its over

Idk what should I email them? Any suggestions?

@Holyjennybieber I would talk to your guidance councilor about it, but I think if you are rejected that’s it. You can always transfer next year or go back for PHD or masters work
