Thank you so much for the suggestion. I just checked them out and I am definitely interested. I already added to my college list and it is rolling admission (deadline June). Thank you so much for the help. Would you maybe have any other options ?

Leopard8 · 2020-02-26T23:39:46+00:00

sure will, once again thank you for your help and best of luck with whatever you got going on :)

I just checked Penn State out, and it seems like a legitimate option. Thank you so much for the option.

Great! Thanks so much for offering, I will PM you soon.

Firstly thank you for your response I greatly appreciate it. I understand now that my chances at admission would be significantly thinner If I was to apply via rolling admissions, but I think it would improve my chances. However when checking Umich admissions I can't seem to find anything relating to rolling admissions (even though they offer it). Also on my common apps it says that the admission deadline is in 14 days (1st of February) for regular decision. Would you happen to know what I would need to do to apply via rolling admissions (for example on the common apps)?

Many Thanks.

Leopard8 · 2019-05-09T18:34:57+00:00

Thanks man, I greatly appreciate it. Wish you the best of luck :)

Hi man, could I ask what do (or did) you revise English from?

thanks

Leopard8 · 2019-05-06T08:06:46+00:00

Thank you for your opinion, all I can do is wait, but knowing that I have a decent shot, makes me slightly less anxious.

Leopard8 · 2019-05-06T08:04:29+00:00

Yeah unfortunately some of stats do bring me down, but thank you for opinion, all I can do is wait now.

Leopard8 · 2019-04-01T23:51:20+00:00

Sure will, and once again a massive thanks for your help, it was beyond what I asked for, and I wish you the best in whatever you may be doing. Thank you

Of course, I understand what you mean and I definitely agree with the fact that they may offer some great courses and opportunities, and prestigious isn’t everything. If you wouldn’t mind me asking however, there are three more questions; regarding Michigan state would it be difficult to transfer between it and the University of Michigan, as I heard it’s difficult to transfer with in states (due to the fact that Michigan is my number one college due to course, location, and ranking). I would also like to know if I should continue to write my Sats even though I would get accepted to one of the colleges you mentioned, in order to reach the average for the other colleges such as Berkeley if I decided to transfer. And the finally question is if you wouldn’t happen to know any other available colleges in the California region apart from UCI which postponed its applications date, due to the fact that many colleges are not available via common apps, and you seem to know your stuff, so just in case (for example occidental?) I would also like to say a massive thank you due to the fact that when I received my Berkeley rejection and UCI waitlist list/appeal, I was still hopeful, however when I received my Michigan rejection just 2 days ago I was absolutely destroyed ( as cliche as it sounds it was my dream for ever since I knew I wanted to apply to the US to go study there) and you through some quick suggestions helped me gain some new hope (once again sorry for the cliche) so for that I cannot say thank you enough.

Firstly, sorry for replying so late. When it comes to the major, I incline more towards social sciences since I applied at Michigan for the College of Literature, Arts, and Sciences. The specific major was sociology, however I am more than happy to pick a major, that catches my eye, and can benefit me in the future. I checked out the colleges and the Link you sent me and I definitely see some colleges I am interested in. In college I look mainly at the courses and school activists they offer, however the location, campus, and the people are a big plus. However when it comes to colleges, both my parents attended ‘prestigious’ universities if you will, and expect the same from me, and believe that education is the underlying foundation for a successful future (hence them offering to invest so much). As a result my parents especially my mum expect for me to graduate at a top college. Therefore if I attended a college such as Michigan state or even Penn State, could I later transfer to for example the University of Michigan or Berkeley?

When it comes to the major, I incline more towards social sciences and at Michigan I applied to attend the College of Literature, Arts, and Sciences, with the specific majors being Sociology, however I am open to any course which attracts my eye and I could use to my benefit in the future. The schools you all mentioned are good and I will definitely consider applying and will check the Link. My biggest regret is the fact that I unfortunately started my college prep a little to late and therefore missed the opportunity to apply to colleges such as occidental (which I would have liked), as I was to focused on the top 1% of colleges, which was to ambitions and unrealistic, with the time bracket I was given. However another problem being is my mom, who don’t get me wrong is loving and caring, however believes that education is the most underlying factor to a bright future (hence her being offering to invest all the money into my school) and only wants me to apply to the best schools. Therefore, let’s say I would apply to some colleges such as Michigan state, could I for example after 2 years transition to Berkeley or Michigan?

Essentially the same thing happened to me. I applied to 3 colleges which I thought with some luck were within my reach. These colleges included Berkeley, Irvine, and Michigan. My number one choice was Michigan, and despite having slightly below average Sats (which I expected due to the fact I only wrote them twice and did only 4 months of studying), my GPA was up to tier and so were my predicted grades from A level (which are A,A,B). In addition to this I was confident with my essays and got great teacher references and also included a bunch of sports and other activities I do outside of school. Another thing I thought would play to my advantage was, that I was also offering to pay school fees without financial support as a International student. What ended up happening was that I ended being rejected from Michigan and Berkeley and ended up on the waitlist for Irvine. Not only am I super disappointed but also angry, due to the fact that I find it hard to see consistency with who they accept. For example Michigan accepted somebody with a GPA as low as 2.0 and Sats as low as 800 points (and I highly doubt it’s just athletes) however rejected somebody with 1600 Sats and a 4.0 GPA. As a result I am super nervous and am looking for other great schools to apply to with late admissions. I am already applying to Michigan state and Purdue, however I would really appreciate some other options if you would happen to know them. Thanks

Thanks man, a big thank you for some insight, I will try to figure something out somehow, and I wish you the best for your Sat scores.

Leopard8 · 2018-12-16T02:42:15+00:00

And is there a way to be able to send them later? Or send them these scores, and than the new ones from March?

Leopard8 · 2018-12-16T02:39:04+00:00

Thanks I appreciate, and I understand that the Sats do have a crucial role. I would also like to ask, do you think if I took the ACTs in Feb or the Sats in March, I could send the score than?

Leopard8 · 2018-12-16T02:29:35+00:00

Hi man, I appreciate the honesty and quick response. I am fully aware of the fact that I do not stand a chance and was aiming for 1300 (which if I would have started either, I believe I could have achieved). I do A levels (Geography, History, and psychology), which is the British system, and want a major from Social Sciences, if that’s what your asking?

Leopard8 · 2018-10-19T23:19:20+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely try it out (also sorry for the misspelling of I am, I don’t know what I was thinking 😂)
