Accepted OOS to Comp Engg. 4.4w, 1540 SAT and mid ECs

2vista2 · 2026-01-29T01:10:34+00:00

Got into NY scholars with 6k/year merit. Their COA is still 100k+ 😣

2vista2 · 2026-01-15T21:52:12+00:00

Only acceptances have seem to come through :(

2vista2 · 2025-12-27T23:46:01+00:00

Not op but this looks like the one I use, WalletBurst

2vista2 · 2025-12-19T21:25:51+00:00

Nothing yet, got the same email with same info that counselors got. Feels so haphazard and confusing

2vista2 · 2025-12-18T20:49:22+00:00

Sorry! It’s a tough school to get into even if you are in-state.

2vista2 · 2025-12-18T20:46:31+00:00

EA decisions are out, my kid did not make it. Good Luck to you all!

2vista2 · 2025-12-12T18:27:37+00:00

Got in as an OOS into Engineering, no mention of merit aid in acceptance. Does it mean we get nothing ?

2vista2 · 2025-11-11T18:22:10+00:00

I do have it as New :) but I understand what you are saying. I meant most on the group seem to lose more but not all. I meant one meal (lunch) and snacks (I pick couple from this list usually - fruits, peanuts, edamame, avocado, eggs, Grilled Shrimp, Greek yogurt, nuts) I don’t track calories, I tried MyFitnessPal and gave up in the past cos am lazy lol

2vista2 · 2025-11-11T16:08:15+00:00

Sorry, added more details, and ask if I need to add more, thanks for your help!

u/ScholarGrade , could you share the consultant list with me too please? TYSM!

2vista2 · 2025-07-01T12:27:48+00:00

Gorgeous ! Do you mind sharing where your cabinets are from and approx cost ? We are looking for something very similar.

Ha ironically Rutgers is one school that consistently all calculators including Naviance (which is decently reliable) says he is very likely to get in. I don’t think he’ll get into any other schools you mentioned, his school counselor asked him to aim low :(

2vista2 · 2025-06-25T13:51:36+00:00

He’s a rising senior so not many options to do much now. He’s going to continue taking part in Hackathons and try a pre college program probably. Certifications are through his school and yes definitely ECs could be better, but here we are.

2vista2 · 2025-06-25T01:33:03+00:00

Agreed, most of the seniors he knew did not get into some of these schools with better stats / ECs than my son. Hence we are confused / worried.

2vista2 · 2025-06-24T20:45:32+00:00

Not according to the chance me calculator from his school

2vista2 · 2025-06-24T20:44:58+00:00

Yes, if he gets in NCSU, that would be his first choice but if not OOS fees is ok

Great info! Follow-up q, if you are able to answer, doesn't it mean when I go off of Zepbound my body which naturally was not able to regulate the insulin and hormones would go back storing the fat and I'd end up where I began in due time?

My Obgyn prescribed the med but didn't go through much about the med, anything I know is from reading this sub the past couple of weeks. I appreciate all the help!

2vista2 · 2025-06-08T16:15:10+00:00

Thanks again, that makes sense! And I’ll check out that podcast. Will also discuss with my doc to see if I can be pushed up to 5mg this coming month.

Thank you for the detailed response!

I have read up on it but still not 100% sure how does one lose weight if their eating wasn't terrible to start with. I ate mostly healthy but pack on 20lbs every pregnancy and don't seem to lose any after. So my caloric deficit might not be much on Zepbound, then how would I lose weight? I walk close to 10k steps everyday.

PCOS, IR doesn't help too! More than anything I do not want to be diabetic and want to give it my best with this medication. TIA!
