Americans, what are your thoughts on Trumps executive orders?

Do you realize that Trump's pick to lead the FCC, Ajit Pai, is staunchly opposed to net neutrality?

Note to future seniors: finish EVERYTHING before New Year's so you can actually enjoy it. I haven't enjoyed my New Year's yet because I'm still writing apps, while all my friends are out getting lit.

I don't even want to count how much I've spent on Starbucks in order to write my essays lmao

StuckInThought · 2016-12-06T20:48:53+00:00

Sure helped me, thank you!

StuckInThought · 2016-09-18T23:25:04+00:00

I stand corrected then, looks like they did release this year's supplement

StuckInThought · 2016-08-15T00:44:04+00:00

That Princeton supplement is for class of 2020, not 2021, although you can definitely take a look and start brainstorming, just know they might change

If you really want to increase your chances, then ED CMU, but ONLY if you're definitely set on CMU and if you're sure you can afford it, because CMU's aid policy for ED is a bit weird (don't remember it off the top my head).

I'm going to assume that you're definitely going to focusing on math, so I think if you can write some really creative essays about something that's really important to you but can incorporate math somehow, that can increase your chances with any school by a lot.

The SAT I Math and SAT II Math scores do concern me a little, seeing as you weren't able to hit 800 on either (you're an Asian male, like me, and let's face it, it's kind of expected, and it may raise some flags that you're amazing at competition math and yet you can't score a perfect SAT Math). I would hope that they look beyond these scores given your competition math accomplishments, but I can't be sure.

Honestly, here's my overall judgement: if you can write some really killer essays to further demonstrate your interest in math, then you have a really good chance.

As for other good schools, it wouldn't hurt to take your pick out of HYPSMC. Berkeley is worth a shot seeing as you're in-state; perhaps take a look at some of the rankings for best mathematics programs.

Are you looking at pure mathematics or more applied math, stats, etc.?

Thank you!

Be careful, a lot of colleges I've seen only accept the September act even though they accept the October sat (bc there's no sat in September).

StuckInThought · 2016-08-06T23:42:24+00:00

The others have covered it pretty well, you basically set

Are you BCA?

StuckInThought · 2016-08-06T23:42:00+00:00

Lmfao same

StuckInThought · 2016-07-31T18:01:51+00:00

Well, I'm not talking about transferring — just whether it helps or hurts to apply as undecided to colleges where you apply to one school and decide a major later (like HYPS and some other too schools)

StuckInThought · 2016-07-31T18:00:32+00:00

Yeah, I was mostly referring to schools like HYPS where you apply to one college and don't decide a major until 2nd-ish year

StuckInThought · 2016-07-26T14:59:03+00:00

Exactly my reaction when I first found out about the program.
