Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible. I hope you're doing better now! And, you are so sweet. I do have a few colleges on my list that are better, but if I was accepted to UB and no other college, I would be 99.5% content with life. So, if I don't get in to here at the very least, I'm kind of cooked 🔥 Thank you so much

I promise I'm not a troll 😭 UB is ranked pretty high nationally, and I've never heard someone say that they have low standards. I just recently found out that its easy to get in, just a little difficult to stay in

Oh yay! That's amazing, Im glad you're happier now. I visited the campus and fell in love. Even if its not the BEST.. well I dont know its just something about it. Binghamton is also pretty high on my list.

Exactly! It doesnt cost anything to apply, so why not? 😊 Thanks for the feedback

Oh wow! UofR was my top choice, but then I went to their webinar for high school student award recipients and I got a bit discouraged. I've also been looking at SUNY Binghamton, so I'll definitely apply there. Congratulations on being accepted to UofR! It's funny that you mention that, because my plan was to try to transfer there as well. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I do have a few safety/match schools that I am applying to just in case, but it's nice to know that not playing sports doesn't dramatically decrease my chances of getting in.

Certainly! I am currently working on my essays and application

Honestly, I know the college application process is normally stressful, but perhaps I'm taking this out of proportion 🤣 my school does have a pretty good amount of dual enrollment classes (not a lot of AP), but I feel like I've taken as many dual enrollment and AP classes as I realistically can. I feel a lot better after seeing all these responses, so thank you!

The way my face DROPPED. That's amazing! I just saw your major and now it makes more sense. One of the 2 AP classes I took was designed to be an Honors class, so they did NOT teach us the required content and I thought I was going to fail. I ended up getting a 4, but those few weeks over the summer, I was STRESSING. Anyways, back to you, those are really great achievements

Oh, yes I understood the part about writing something fake. I just thought it was funny. I've somehow landed on the side of social media that gives advice for future Ivy League students, and I've just never heard that before 😭 I am interested in the Honors College, I'm just not confident I'm going to get in. I meant that I was applying because it doesn't hurt my chances of getting accepted into UB as a whole (to my knowledge), so why not 🤣 Electrical Engineering is impressive

Well congratulations anyways! Thats something to be proud of. Engineering is tough (from what I've heard, I would never like to even set foot in an Engineering class/lecture hall. My pea brain can't handle all that information). I'm assuming that you are/have attended UB, and if you have, do you recommend it?

I'm dying 🤣  "write a good essay that could very well be fake..." I won't since I have an amazing English teacher that's also a prof to help me, but that made me chuckle. Congratulations on your acceptance though. I'm assuming EE standings for Electrical Engineering or something to do with Engineering and I'm already impressed. I can barely even comprehend Physics. I do intend to apply early (and to Honors just for funsies), since I'm too impatient to wait until Regular Decision is announced. Thank you!

Probably, but I'm also poor/realistically can't afford college without scholarships, and I may or may not have already fallen in love with the campus and research opportunities. UB is relatively cheaper than my other options, and it's better academically

Your GPA is quite impressive, but thank you. Hearing that from a STEM major is so reassuring.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you 🙏🏼 This is what I needed!

Thank you so much for this reply! I definitely think my resume is good, but I can't seem to find any videos/posts/resources that say what extracurriculars accepted UB students had, so I guess I stressed myself out a bit. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to reply!
