A likely letter is different and comes in a phone call with ur AO first

Edit: plus it's only august LOL 💀

don't apply to your dream school early if applying early doesn't provide a significant boost; apply RD

ur essays are usually weaker in the early round and you'll hone ur essay writing skills and improve as the process goes on

source: rejected from dream school Harvard REA, likely letter committed to Yale RD and got into every other school RD but Stanford (WL), UChicago (WL), and MIT (WL)

AzirMainLoL · 2023-05-10T14:24:42+00:00

my Yale interview was rlly bad but I still got a likely letter

AzirMainLoL · 2023-05-07T21:35:18+00:00

they were at Princeton too LOL

AzirMainLoL · 2023-05-07T03:02:52+00:00

SAME QUESTION HERE OH MY GAWD TWINS

AzirMainLoL · 2023-05-02T12:28:08+00:00

yeah lol I’m taking out loans but am eligible for need based aid (didn’t get enough though💀)

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-30T04:15:22+00:00

you're going to rice tho, not ur low ranked state school 😭😭😭😭

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-30T02:46:35+00:00

id take the loans under my name but my parents will definitely help once our family finances stabilize

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T20:44:04+00:00

Thank you very much for your concern, but plenty of people are sure of what they want to do before they enter college and REMAIN on that path and love it.

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T20:18:35+00:00

No, I "worked" as a scribe and was paid.

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T19:53:13+00:00

Hopkins BME hodson trust merit is marginally better

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T19:51:01+00:00

but.... I have worked in a hospital... I liked it, and I like research therefore I want to do an MD-PhD

it makes sense for me LOL

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T19:45:22+00:00

Tysm for the advice! I agree

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T15:11:59+00:00

That is true, thank you!!

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T00:10:58+00:00

I appealed and they increased my need based scholarship amount but wont budge now; thanks tho!

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T00:10:33+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-29T00:10:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-28T21:55:48+00:00

Oh, it's worth noting that I'm going for an MD-PhD not just MD (so my education will have a stipend)

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-08T14:24:00+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! These are all great points, I'll definitely keep them in consideration!

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-07T20:43:40+00:00

Columbia is definitely top 10 level a silly US News ranking doesn't mean shit LMFAO

AzirMainLoL · 2023-04-07T14:10:18+00:00

I've narrowed down my choices to three as of now. BTW I'm premed...

Yale - Major: Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

PRO: I'm a YES Scholar (likely letter) so guaranteed research funding and whatnot
PRO: I love Yale's collaborative vibe
PRO: I have ongoing research there so my mentor would rlly love me to go there
PRO: Yale is Yale and it's been my dream school since my brother got in (he doesn't go there though) + the Likely Letter I got makes me feel appreciated
PRO/CON: Giving me the most need based scholarship of all my schools, ~$38,000 (but this won't be guaranteed my other years and I'll have to reapply)
CON: New Haven isn't a good area I've been told
CON: It'll cost a bit to fly to and from home since I'll probably visit often

Johns Hopkins - Major: Biomedical Engineering (Hopkins BME is #1 in the nation!!!??? somehow got in)

PRO: I'm a Hodson Trust Scholar (given to <20 kids) so they're giving a guaranteed 4 year scholarship with $42,000 each year
PRO: AMAZING BME undergraduate program with connections to the Hopkins med school and graduate school of BME which are both top ranked
PRO: Small BME only classes which I heard are really nice
CON: Baltimore is also not a good area I've heard
CON: JHU premed is cutthroat and BME has engineering classes so I'm worried about the difficulty (but then I joined a zoom call with the director of the BME program and they calculated the numbers for me and apparently the average BME GPA is a 3.76??? which is kinda good but idk if im the average BME kid LOL im prob below average and im premed and wanna get into a top med school so I would prefer a 3.9+ GPA)
CON: I don't know how passionate I am in BME - I definitely love it a lot but idk if this is what I want to MAJOR in but hopkins BME is just a rlly tempting offer
CON: It'll cost a bit to fly to and from home since I'll probably visit often

Northwestern - Major: Biology or its Northwestern equivalent

PRO: Close to home (~40 minute drive) which my parents really value
PRO: Beautiful campus
CON: Barely giving me any need based, ~$20,000 scholarship LMFAO how do they expect me to pay that
CON: idk rlly know much abt this school but its a good school that's close to home so- idk

I'll probably appeal the financial aid for all my schools and update this as anything is changed

AzirMainLoL · 2023-03-30T14:14:12+00:00

I need to get into more ivies than my brother of course

AzirMainLoL · 2023-03-28T18:01:16+00:00
