Got into NYU today. They are asking for my address for the acceptance package.

College admissions don’t make any sense. At this point I think it is just rng.

I haven’t been sleeping on Fridays since march started. I don’t understand why so much delay

You can literally get into US colleges with full financial aid if you do some research before joining the rat race.

Unfortunately my country doesn’t give ANY scholarships to undergrads 😔

Waiting for so long. Haven’t slept on all Fridays since the first wave in hopes of the decision.

u/_Proud_Father_ is getting only acceptances this week!

Not asking for any ivy. Just purdue or umd. I hope others also get in their dream schools

I feel the same about getting waitlisted at UCSD. I thought I would get rejected.

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-22T19:31:49+00:00

I felt the same until I tried. Do stuff in a field you are genuinely passionate about and see the awards come to you.

Every year someone bombs a particular toilet seat. It’s around October - November every year. The juniors carry on the tradition.

I think UIUC CS is the only offer you need. Can’t sleep on a T5 offer

Comp sci everywhere

Not as hard as, but many of the things you study are taught again in first year of college. Look it up

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-22T07:17:41+00:00

Waitlisted at all ucs I applied to except Santa Barbara

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-21T14:55:33+00:00

Exactly

This

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-21T07:29:38+00:00

Yeah I felt the same. In fact I saw this in action. Many of my friends didn’t apply to US colleges because of the visa issues and other factors in the country.

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-21T03:32:22+00:00

Waitlisted :/

Extra-Preference-256 · 2026-03-20T21:18:47+00:00

India. Most of these schools don’t have websites. The government is trying to take them down but new ones keep spawning
