Colleges

Ouro

So March rolled by and April is beginning.

By now most colleges have decided whether or not you have been accepted. My question to you is which colleges did you get into or denied?

Me personally I have been disappointed. I was looking for a chance to get into Carleton College to go study with my brother or to go to Bates up in Maine. I will now be attending the University of Tulsa as I do not want to stay in state. This is controversial because my parents are looking to go live in the Dominican Republic in the next year and dishing out 20 grand a year isn't exactly what they had in mind.

Oh yeah I will be entering the Economics program.
 
I did horribly in my lottery to get accepted into a high Ivy league...

Rejected at Princeton, Harvard, Yale
Waitlisted at Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, NYU (lol)
Accepted at U.Chicago, Stanford (!!!), and a few NJ local schools.

Eh, I wont say it is bad, but it isn't that great either, especially since I wanted to attend Penn soooooo badly =/
 
Rejected at Caltech, MIT, Cornell and Columbia. Accepted at CWRU, University of Rochester, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Binghamton, Carnegie Mellon University and RPI. I'm a bit disappointed by the rejections... I thought I'd get into at least one of them.

I don't think that it's worth it to go to any of the private schools I got into. They are way too expensive, fuck that. I'll probably end up staying in-state and save a lot of money.
 
Yea I know a few people who got into Carnegie Melon, though the tuition is a monster. This year has been hell for college as a whole, so expensive and so many waitlisted kids.
 
Carnegie Mellon is an awesome school.

John Hopkins was originally on my choices of schools but I dropped it.

It would seem Twist of Fate has all the luck in the world. I manage to avoid hitting his Garchomp 4 times in a row and he got into UChicago and Stanford.

It's like my senior year of high school all over again, lol.
 
Just asking a related question. What would one generally need to score on their SAT to get accepted to U.Penn?

Go to carnegie mellon. That way I can physically kick your ass. Anyways, I got into carnegie mellon, cornell, rpi, drexel, pennstate, and bucknell. Mit asked me to be waitlisted, but I dropped that.

@the guy who wanted to know the SAT score to get into upenn: you need something around 2200
 
being accepted and applying to college was a tolerable task. however, applying to grad schools/professional schools... thats another story.

ah yeah, I got into Michigan as well. I didn't really get any money from them, so it's still like 45k/year or so.

I'd love to go to Carnegie Mellon, but it's something like 53k per year and being middle class, I don't think I can really afford it with the aid they gave me.
 
Yea, the thing that bit me was that after all the aid etc I still have to pay 27000, but my parents still urge me to go there because of the "great future it'll bring"....not that I'm complaining or anything. I'm actually grateful that they are sacrificing that much for me. Azn parents ftw!
 
SAT scores do not matter much. I received a 2020 while maintaining a B- average and a shit load of AP classes and my friend was around a 2180 or something while taking barely any AP classes and having like a C+ average and we got denied to all our top choices. My brother received a 1000 something back when there were only 2 sections, had an A average and got a full ride to Carleton.

I'm not giving up just yet though. I'll be applying for a transfer to Carleton and the University of Chicago my sophomore year.
 
Well I maintain an A average, and probably always will since I consider anything less than an A- a failure (except in foreign language classes). I will take AP classes as soon as my school allows me to (11th Grade). So taking all that into account, what would someone like me need to score on their SAT to get into a school like U.Penn?
 
2200+ most likely. Though the score isn't too important. I have a monster of a SAT score but only a 3.3 GPA and I got denied by Cornell and John Hopkins. Accepted at: George Washington, UMCP, UMBC. Dunno where I'll go yet.

Most of my friends who applied to UPenn (and got rejected) had around 2100. (and probably had around a B+~A- Average) Two of my friends who got in had something like 2300~, and they had grades similar to yours (and take mostly all AP classes, I think one was #2 in his class)
 
i got into penn and like others have said you kinda need a really good sat/act score
 
Well, Ike and Tina, I don't remember the Garchomp thing, but I guess I was pretty lucky then =).

As for Ivy's, you need a really high standardized test score. Its probably the reason I didn't get in. I had a 2190 on the SAT, but I got a 34 on the ACT, so it didn't balance out in my favor.

Oddly enough, Im waiting on Michigan still...no response from them, applied to Ross.

0_0

A 2300.... I would need to study like crazy to get close to a perfect score

Well there goes that dream.

Are there any other very good business schools I should aim for?
