@y90y90 LOL
@swim1128 Wait which link are you talking about? Is it the one to the application portal where it shows the status of your application?
@chelliosiro earlier in this thread someone posted about a possible link to getting a decision early
@swim1128 ohh I see, thanks!
@chelliosiro no prob!
Cornell
Harvard
Brown
Columbia
Yale
Princeton
UPenn (Wharton)
Dartmouth
UChicago
Stanford
USC
Berkeley
UCLA
UVA
UC Irvine (safety)
Long list~
5 more days and I’ve never been more of a nervous wreck in my entire life.
^^^ same. I just want the wait to be over already. This is the most self deprecating process EVER and I hate it
I applied to ten schools so far:
Yale SCEA
Columbia
UPenn
Boston U (and for theTrustee Scholarship)
UVA (nominated for Jefferson scholarship)
Northeastern
Brandeis
CUNY Macaulay Honors College
NYU
Hofstra (got in already).
If I don’t get into Yale, then I’ll apply to Tufts as well. My mom wants me to apply to Harvard but I didn’t like it and I highly doubt I’d get in.
@hhjjlala I don’t mean to sound rude in any way, but I’m just curious: what made you apply to all the Ivies? Especially when some of them are so different from each other, like Brown and Columbia?
@bssurly I’m applying to 9 in total (just took two off my list and I feel so much better. cough wellesley and bmc cough
Submitted: Yale, Williams, Smith, Middlebury, SUNY Stony Brook
To do: Amherst, Tufts, Columbia, Princeton
I’ve lived in both the city and the suburbs (including a rural town). I love both settings. And I’m a boy from California. I want to experience the Northeast and its varying environments. Applying to more colleges = higher chance of acceptance in my mind. I would also have more options if I’m accepted to more colleges.
@hhjjlala Ohh, I meant that they’re very different in terms of their curriculums (open vs. core obviously)
Oh I don’t care for the type of curriculum either!
Does anyone know how Permanent Residents are classified within the pool??? I live abroad but have PR status
@bssurly Curriculum didn’t really play a huge part for me either. For all of the Ivies (except Columbia from what I understand) the core requirements, if they’re there, seem to be broad enough that you can pretty much take classes in what you’re interested in so I focused more on the programs available, location, etc.
@17moonshine Yale won’t consider additional essays if you get deferred. @GLPDickson Perm residents are treated like US citizens
o.o The distribution requirements were one of the things that plopped Yale at my #1. I like that it ensures people take a broad range of classes without crowding them all into the EXACT same classes.
What GPAs and SAT/ACT scores do you guys have?
@HenryFeddersen Freaking good ones, I suspect. What do you expect to see in reply?
