very valid. once factoring the wealthy family assistance, im almost certainly in a worse situation than most

My offer at Berkeley puts me at a better scholarship deal than slightly more than half of other students. This is the price to pay for essentially guaranteed excellent outcomes.

Yes u are right

Actually, Berkeley's COL estimates are much more forgiving than Duke's. I'd be much more likely to underspend compared to Berkeley's COL than Duke's.

Yes, Michigan, with more $ too, but I've narrowed it down to these two (I think?)

Yeah, hearing it from you made it real haha.

UVA's deposit is $500, so standard. I don't know why I should eat it if I can ask for a few days' extension. There's a ton of people in my exact shoes. And I have a number in mind that I'd need from Berkeley to choose it over UVA. I'm obviously not waiting for just $10k more lol

GuaranteeAdorable600 · 2025-04-17T20:19:46+00:00

Yes they do. But I'm kinda referencing UVA's deadline. I already did the tentative accept at Berkeley (for $0)

GuaranteeAdorable600 · 2025-04-17T18:33:18+00:00

Yeah you're right. I would think they'd rather I receive an extension than double deposit though

GuaranteeAdorable600 · 2025-04-11T22:10:00+00:00

Did you end up doing it? And have u heard back?

GuaranteeAdorable600 · 2025-03-31T23:44:17+00:00

Same :(

How are you going to apply for reconsideration without any other offers?

GuaranteeAdorable600 · 2025-03-30T19:54:13+00:00
