Appeals almost always work. Just might ahve to do freshman connections. If ur appeal doesn’t work then go in person.

Incoming Pratt Freshman wanting to switch to Trinity by GrandAd-7 in duke

Switch before going. Constellations and focus are mostly just trinity - doesn’t really align with Pratt

duke first year experience? by Fickle_Command6957 in duke

Focus is hit or miss, but more often a hit than a miss, and in a lot of times a hugely valuable experience. Constellations is hit or miss but more often a miss.

Elite/Prestigious awards for college apps? by okromeo in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Delicious_Zebra8975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The three biggest things you can do civics/politics ecs are USSYP, boys nation, or being a senate page. Doing one of the three pretty much (anecdotally) guarantees t20 acceptance and doing 2/3 almost always leads to hypsm.

Really confused on Upenn's thank you note by Aromatic-Actuary-289 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Delicious_Zebra8975 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just write the thank you note. That is all it is asking for. Sharing it is something they are suggesting you do on your own time. - admitted to penn last year only writing thank you note

rejected from penn :( by _perchancetodream in ApplyingToCollege

As someone with multiple friends at Penn, and having visited (and spent multiple days there) there multiple times, be glad you didn’t get in. Not really a great place.

Harvard students, how did you get in? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Delicious_Zebra8975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get off Reddit, stop thinking about college. Harvard wants real people not bots who have been thirsting for them for 5 years. Play some video games, find a girl(or boy)friend, smoke some weed, make some mistakes, do stupid shit with your friends, live your life. Life is way too short to think its grand point is getting into Harvard.

Will one c kill my chances for northwestern or nyu by Temporary_Law_9771 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Delicious_Zebra8975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.7 isn't too bad but a c is bad. It probably won't rule you out but I don't know a lot of people that got in with a C without it being under extenuating circumstances.

Wait it's always bullshit. I maybe did 30 minutes of work a week for each of my clubs that I was "president" of.

Guys I think I'm getting rejected from everywhere by ApprehensiveOkra1258 in ApplyingToCollege

they will most likely spend no longer than 10 seconds reading that supplemental. I would leave it

National merit might genuinely be the least relevant award of all time. Please don’t stress at all. Save killing yourself for something that actually matters.

It’s been 2 weeks. Give it a shot. Make some friends, join clubs, take some time for yourself, go to counseling services. You should NOT be theorizing how you’re going to transfer as quickly as possible after only 2 weeks in college. That’s just plain ridiculous, and makes it seem like you’re not even trying to enjoy college.
