Applying To Colleges

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Are you nervous? I'd be freaking out right now... Of course, you already have two excellent acceptances, so maybe your mind is at ease.

I am freaking out, but it is tempered by the fact that UVA is my default, and UVA has also always been a top choice of mine.

don't freak out, you are powerless.  the result has already been fully caused.  sit back and relax.

I applied to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and Penn.

Also, I got in to William and Mary.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Go WVU

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Waitlisted by Vanderbilt and Georgetown.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Rejected by Penn, waitlisted by Columbia, waiting on the others

[Kaine for Senate '18]

No dice on Princeton.

[Psychic Octopus]

Deferred, and then Waitlisted at Georgetown? Harsh, man. Are you going to accept a spot on any of the lists? I'd take a shot at it, especially at Columbia and Georgetown.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'll take Columbia and Georgetown, yes.  Also rejected by Yale, accepted by Hopkins, and haven't heard from Harvard.

And I was waitlisted at Harvard.

ACCEPT THE SPOT!!! (And by the way, it's an honor just to be waitlisted. Plenty of people with perfect SAT scores are outright rejected). Realistically, considering that you were waitlisted at several top-notch schools, there's a reasonable chance that one will have to fill up some spots.

And congrats on Hopkins, Ben! One of the most prestigious and best schools in the country (especially for international relations and the sciences).

Join the club.

Accepted at NYU Stern and UChicago- and I thought we concluded I wasn't a hipster! Yet to hear from Columbia- password problems. 5 for 6.

Here was my take:

Congrats on Stern and UChicago, Simfan! I'm applying EA to UChicago (and I'm not a hipster, safe for my big old black-frame glasses) next year, so perhaps we'll be classmates. As for Yale, there's always graduate school.

Well, knowing that two Atlasians have gotten into superb schools has raised my spirits a little bit. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us.

Wait-listed at Harvard and Columbia is awesome! I hope you get to go to Harvard

I've basically all but committed to CUNY Law, but Hofstra just told me they'd give me $40k/yr scholarship to go there, which is an ego boost if nothing else.

I'm so jealous; it seems like everyone else always has a clear first choice.  I'm still deciding between Maryland, NYU, and Rochester   Since March 13th, I count 11 days when Maryland has been my first choice, 5 days when NYU has been my first choice, and 2 days when Rochester has been my first choice.  (Okay, so, maybe I do have a first choice of my possible first choices, but Maryland would also be the riskiest choice for me.)

[Simfan34]

Thanks NiK! And the password problems with Columbia were resolved and the verdict is: I'm in!

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Congratulations Simfan34- that is an excellen tschool!

flip a coin.  then if it turns out to be the wrong decision, you can foreverafter blame it on the coin.

well, it's official my graduating high school class is full of geniuses... lol.

2 more people got into Cornell yesterday, one into Penn, and 1 into Princeton (top of our class). Add on 3-4 Duke acceptances, and the bucketload of kids who got into UNC-Chapel Hill  awhile back.



I now, officially, feel little and insignificant

EDIT: Just wanna add in, that I'm proud of my HS for breaking all the stereotypes of High school in these 4 years

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

My sister got into Hunter. I'm aiming for UPitt.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I got into NYU but I'm still committed to Reed.
