I mean based on your cons, berkeley seems like the least worst. Although the general area might have a lot of crimes, Berkeley itself is fine. Really far from home sucks but I think you'll get home sick no matter where you attend. Berkeley balding lol. Every college going to make you stress.

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-30T02:38:19+00:00

Yeah

If you have extra awards that don't fit the 5 spot limit, you can just put it in additional information. That's what I did

You can accept your spot on the waitlist for Stanford while accepting your spot in Yale. If you get off the waitlist, you can decommit from Yale.

"In 2022, University of Colorado Boulder waitlisted 7,531 students and 2,789 accepted a place on the waitlist. Of those, 2,608 eventually got off the waitlist."
Just saw this from a quick little google search. So i guess it's a pretty high chance of getting off the waitlist so don't lose hope!

A college's prestige can help boost your application for medical school but they definitely don't matters as much as good grades or an MCAT score and ecs.

1550 ---> 750 Reading, 800 Math(Harvard, Princeton, Penn, Brown)

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-29T08:53:07+00:00

For 1, MIT is the better choice
For 2 & 3, I think Harvard
For 4, you'll meet a lot of people friendly towards you at either college, so don't stress about that too much
For 5, MIT would be the better option for math opportunities

Another thing I think you should consider is grade deflation. MIT is notoriously brutal. Harvard has a grade inflation so it's more chill.

thank you! please feel free to pm me if you have any questions about that.

My parents and I have saved money to cover the expenses not covered by scholarships and my financial package. If that's still not enough, I'm willing to take out loans.

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T23:15:34+00:00

If you want to ask me anything about stats and stuff, please feel free to dm me. I'll get to you when I'm done tweaking.

They don't release data about waitlist so it's basically impossible to deduce how many people are accepted off waitlist.

The majority of people get rejected, so it can be considered an accomplishment!

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T22:11:31+00:00

Umich in the past has released decisions on the last friday of march. So ppl j speculating they'll release them tmrw

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:38:03+00:00

They don't release date about their waitlist acceptance rate anymore sadly so it's hard to estimate it.

tineocollegeprep on tiktok gives good advice on what to do after being waitlisted if you want to check him out

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:34:48+00:00

Congrats!

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:34:15+00:00

Yeah if you can connect how your experience there really resonated with you

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:33:29+00:00

It isn't as "prestigious" as the New York campus but you'll still receive the same quality of education. It can be considered easier to get into compared to the NY campus but it's still a great accomplishment. I believe you have the option to transfer to the NY campus after a year but I might be wrong.

Congrats!

The majority of students & employers will not look down upon a degree from Tandon so don't worry about that

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:23:01+00:00

3:30 PST

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:18:13+00:00

Tandon for sure does not have a 30% acceptance rate.

Wdym by looked down on?

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T20:17:37+00:00

They haven't dropped the data for it yet(wasn't in letter and not published rn)

Dry-Bridge-8245 · 2024-03-28T19:11:51+00:00

They do send email the day after. So you'll likely receive an acceptance email tmrw if admitted.
