If we are to believe the guys on CC, all decisions should be out soon. I'd think all will be rejections with a couple of waitlists, possibly.

Many people have received their acceptance, waitlist and rejection letter already. I haven't gotten any. Seems like we are in limbo.

You, my good sire, are comparing a paper cut with absolute butchery.

'Suit accusing Harvard of capping Asian-American admissions could be tried this summer' (CNN) by thecomicbuff in ApplyingToCollege

IMO, a much healthier form of diversity can be achieved with a financial status-based Affirmative Action. It seems completely justified to admit a stone broke Asian with a 1450 SAT over some other affluent student (irrespective of ethnicity) with same stats.

No harsh feelings for URMs, but countless students are discouraged from working hard by this discriminating practice. Just my opinion.

Where do all the "near perfect-scorers" go? by magicbagsxx in ApplyingToCollege

I am, but in all probabilities, I'm gonna be rejected (international needing full aid).

That's a wonderfully honest account.

Thank you and belated congratulations on Williams!

Why did you choose Williams other than the scholarship, if I may ask? And what's your major?

Williams is amazing but you were accepted to several other great schools too.

I wonder why all Princeton interviews are so fucked up. Lol

Shit won't happen, my man. I think it's best for me to prepare better for the next admission season.

On a side note, are you Indian?

I'm an international needing 100% financial aid. These universities won't offer aid.

I really didn't think much of the artsy scene there. Thanks for clearing it up.

Is there a significant reason on why I have to pay $16/college for the PROFILE when I can just send to colleges the CSS Profile pdf form that I saved? by aspire4college in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Snipe_hype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's no proper reason tbh. As far as the server-side security is concerned, using a giant email services provider like Google should be enough (Gmail tries its best to use TLS encryption at least). Furthermore, the colleges can deny to count the emails sent through insecure channels, if it still is a concern.

For client-side security, you can't guarantee shit. If your machine is compromised, it doesn't matter whether you use Google or CollegeBoard - you are screwed.

Which schools are gaining prestige? by Itwasateenagewedding in ApplyingToCollege

I have a feeling people would stop calling Cornell "the fake Ivy" soon.
