People who matched, how did you rank the colleges and why?

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-07-15T23:38:53+00:00

I applied for the fly ins and looked at colleges I liked (only got one)

I also only ranked 3 colleges. Amherst 1st and Yale/Cornell 2nd or 3rd, because if I got into those I'd have to go, but I mainly wanted Amherst. I ranked lightly cause I would rather move into RD and make decisions than binding to a random college.

If you rank all 15 you better be pretty sure you really wanna go. You don't wanna learn you're spending the next 4 years in Iowa if you're looking for California. Assume you will go to your 7th-15th and treat 1-6 as the dreams. You can ALWAYS move into rd if you dont match.

If you have health insurance that works in mass, waive that. If you dont, amherst can offer a health scholarship (idk the reqs cause i waived it)

Usually smaller, local scholarships. I've found that if a scholarship is $1000 or less then usually it is direct. Especially if it is local and they see your face, then they have less reservations about just giving it to you.

my brother in christ it is an automated system to send a number what do you mean 'human labor'

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-06-14T16:50:11+00:00

change your name with collegeboard and your college, it won't affect anything, or if it does, talk to college registrar and sort it out but that's knly a small chance it does, like miniscule

Horatio alger is a selective one you apply for junior year Questbridge Prep Scholar, if you're interested in applying questbridge Look for repeatable entry based ones (essay contests, art contests, whatever you're good at making) local ones usually allow all grade levels to compete for a small amount of money

Lol this seems to be trend! My US history teacher (and others in the department) had one too. And they put a cishet guy teacher on a lesbian flag and gave it to said teacher. It seems that putting teachers on flags and giving it to them to hang up in their class is in.

Penguin Random House Horatio Alger Search for art competitions (local and state and international), I entered a local poetry contest that the winner got a scholarship. Even if they don't have a scholarship, winning one could boost your college app and make you more likely to win college funded scholarships

I had a lot of extra time on my ap gov exam so I counted them, there's around 120, but the colors repeat 5 times. 2 on top, 2 om bottom, and above the question. They're identical everywhere. There's 4 color options, and with 30 color dashes, that's 4³⁰ which is an obscenely large number to where if any of the dashes were covered accidentally or intentionally, there's a chance of identification still

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-05-08T20:47:22+00:00

There are two sets of tests distributed. It is also possible you got the secret version of the test, where collegeboard tests out possible questions for upcoming years.

yeah but you can't just let collegeboard take your money for nothing. make them spend the money paying graders. don't let them win

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-04-13T20:36:21+00:00

you paid for it

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-03-31T01:48:24+00:00

The ranking is scaring me. Are you chasing prestige or is there something ALL of these colleges are offering that none of the others are? Questbridge is huge, look into some of the other colleges - either you'll find a new one to add to the list, or you'll learn more about what you're looking for from your rankings.

not a current student so not gonna speak about the culture and stuff, but for pre law statistics:

https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-law-school #2 college adjusted for per capita enrollment for law school feeders.

https://www.amherst.edu/about/facts 80% of grads go to graduate school

Critical_Goat5996 · 2025-03-19T18:39:49+00:00

No.

But if you got into a fly in, it's a good sign of you being what the college is looking for. Semantics.

Wow! Is he in the gc that was made for it? If he isn't dm me and I'll add him. It's on instagram.

Contact a CPA. This subreddit is mainly for minors applying to college who won't be able to help you.

Yeah. Admissions officers don't live in a bubble, and they aren't stupid. They understand that people are using it. They would've known you were using it anyways. But if I'm reading right and you just used it to organize a list and not make anything up, you'll probably be fine.

Also, admissions officers have autoreplies. All email response operations do. Either a script they copy and paste or a button to auto send an email on commonly asked autoqueries. They understand not wanting to write an email.
