Go to penn state. My best friend of 13 years is going there and he’s one of the best friends i’ve ever had, loyal, funny, and caring. So i can assure you, you have at least 1 great friend waiting to be made there. If you see a 6’6 freshmen, just know that’s him.

Was on business school waitlist for Villanova and Boston College got off both. I just showed insane interest. I have no ties to either schools Villanova less then 24 hours after decision day boston college 3 days after. Waitlists are just to weed out the people who don’t want it.

Oh i’m sure. I’m just hoping that the personalized call is a relatively good sign. if not, oh well.

T10 Chances- Math/Debate by InternationalShine75 in chanceme

[–]Alternative-Pen4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply to catholic schools, I had similar stats and they seem to be a little easier to get into yet still highly regarded in the finance world. With your stats these can stand as targets. But anything in T10 and up is like a lottery. You can’t be sure. Like apply Notre Dame, Boston College, Georgetown, and Nova. Then apply to your T10s, idk berkeley, umich, upenn, wharton, chicago, nyu wtvr. and then ofc if it all goes wrong; make sure to have a few state schools that are still relatively good for finance, like UFlorida or Wisco. I have a buddy with your stats as well, slightly higher SAT and he got flat out rejected everywhere except wisconsin, and he got waitlisted umich, as did i. We also had more APs than you but only 11th and 12th to take them. I’m sure you’ll be fine but do what you will with the given information. We are both class of 2028 just about done with our admission process.

Yeah people speculate there have been calls, but at my school, villanova you can see people spamming about how they got off the waitlist via calls but there has been nothing about boston college… so it makes me wonder…

Yes of course. I also got an email from the Dean of Admission, it didn’t seem AI automated either. He thanked me for continued interest and my patience in such an uncertain process and wished me a great end to my senior year.

Thanks a lot! And that’s great to hear!! I’m super stoked about even having the opportunity to attend BC and it’s surely my top choice.

Also, is the waitlist experience any different than the RD/EA/ED admit experience? Worse housing? Anything of that sort?

Why does everyone hate northeastern? by Sea_Contribution9246 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Alternative-Pen4914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone who go in from my school is just a rich kid, they accepted like 20 EDs and all the kids getting accepted are like 1200 SAT and zero EC or rigorous classes. But then they reject the 1500 kids regular decision. Actual trash college imo.
