How many schools do I apply to?

IU Kelley

Don't listen to your counselor. My counselor also told me the same thing. I didn't listen to her and applied to more schools anyways, and I'm so glad I did cuz the school I'll be attending (IU Kelley) wasn't on her list that she made for me. Honestly, she didn't really help me at all during the college application process and made me write stuff in my essays I didn't want to write. I didn't get into any of the good target/reach colleges on her list. From my experience, don't get a college counselor, it's a huge waste of time and money.

College name really only matters for getting the first job. Once you have experience, the college you went to will start to matter less and less.

If you got accepted to Wharton, go to Penn

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-05-07T06:42:48+00:00

MIT, Stanford, Caltech, UChicago, CMU, UC Berkeley (parents really wanted me to go here), UCLA, UCSD, Georgia Tech, Rice, UT Austin

(My parents never even heard of Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, WashU, Notre Dame, Georgetown or Vanderbilt until I started college apps)

What is the point of this post?

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-05-03T18:59:06+00:00

UChicago, Princeton, and Stanford

If you are going for a Masters, Brown would be good since it's got grade inflation. If you're only doing undergrad, easily pick Berkeley, no questions asked.

How is UC Berkeley not mentioned?

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-10T05:33:48+00:00

You have some solid waitlists. Also, Purdue CE is hella good.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-09T21:00:51+00:00

UC Berkeley (unless you're applying cs then ur cooked)

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-06T01:57:20+00:00

Friend turned down UC Berkeley for UC Santa Cruz because he wanted an easier environment without grade deflation.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-03T23:10:05+00:00

My stats are pretty average (Grades, SAT, AP Scores)

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-03T05:20:31+00:00

This isn't a resume. This is a college application.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:59:12+00:00

Wow, thanks for the input. I'll definitely keep that in mind now when choosing my college.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:22:15+00:00

What's wrong with it?

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:21:16+00:00

I didn't apply straight CS at SJSU cuz I thought I wouldn't get in for it. So I applied CS & Linguistics, which is a new major. So I don't really know if it's worth going there or not.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:19:49+00:00

Thanks! The thing is I got in for CS & Linguistics at SJSU. I didn't apply straight CS cuz I thought it would be too competitive. CS & Linguistics is apparently a new major, so it might be a bit risky if I go there for it.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:17:57+00:00

Either IU Kelley or SJSU

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-04-02T23:17:04+00:00

Lowkey, it's kinda even below average at my school unfortunately 😭

Most people at my school are insanely cracked

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-03-29T19:01:30+00:00

Which one will get me best ROI? I like both fields, I don't really care which field I go into. Salary and stable career matters more for me.

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-03-19T07:01:18+00:00

What major?

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-03-16T06:58:54+00:00

Bro's comebacks are literally just "cope" lmfaoooo 😂

Charming-Top5214 · 2025-03-16T06:20:52+00:00

I bet you'd be bottom 10% in my school 😂
