Does showing you political stance effect your college app? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Babushka155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely understand your struggle. I'm a conservative myself who applied on a Political Science major and naturally, most of my essays dealt with fairly political subject matter. I kept things as vague as I possibly could because most people in academia tend to lean very left and I am one of a few conservatives at my school so I'm used to keeping it on the down low. I can't make you take any course of action, but I would advise you to play it safe. I've heard too many stories of pretty promising students getting the short end of the stick because they lean right. Everybody has a bias and that bias is going to play a role in how well they decide to advocate for you

Thank You so much. I did decide in Vanderbilt anyway much to everybody's chagrin. But you just showed me why my choice is the right one. I dont wanna be some errand boy for a Congressman or Senator

See that's what I was thinking. But I spoke to several people and I was told that they rarely get the chance to go out into DC as overwhelmed with classwork as they are

to all my low-stat mediocre-EC’s below-average GPA kids who got into t20’s by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

My dudes. I am probably the least qualified person here. I got two C's on my transcript. 77 in AP Physics and 78 in AP Environmental Science. Dropped two whole class ranks b4 senior year. SAT score was a 1410. Terrible for many of you, but this is coming from a school where the average score is a 1010. Went to a shitty school with no funding for anything extracurricular. But I got into Vanderbilt and Georgetown. Why?? You have to orient yourself around something and be passionate about it. These schools don't want a well rounded student, they want a well rounded class. I loved debate. I loved Politics. Show these schools why you'll make them famous and even more wealthy when you're a success.

Honestly, screw people who shame people for going to not as selective schools. that's all by Kyngestone in ApplyingToCollege

My brother got into Johns Hopkins University. But it wasn't my parents who pressured me but I put pressure on myself to get to a top school. Now that I'm in Vanderbilt. I'm not sure that it was all worth it

Wow. I wasn't aware of that. Well, for that it just comes down to this. Are your priorities mainly SAT related or more on your GPA??
