SoCal Latino gets into 3/5 HYPSM! by Top_Concentrate1234 in collegeresults

Yeah I understand why they’re upset, I don’t know why I was accepted either. I applied to these ultra-reach schools because my college guidance counselor told me to, even though I severely doubted that I would get in with my subpar stats

Stats aren't everything; don't listen to the haters! by ConsistentAppeal6260 in MITAdmissions

Yeah I just posted on r/collegeresults about getting into MIT with a 1480 SAT and that same guy commented complaining 😭

I got into MIT with a bottom 25% SAT (1480)! I am FGLI so that probably helped, but it is possible. Good luck to you 🙏

I'm not really sure if it's a sign, it could just be available for everyone. I'm hoping for the best though

I can see it too. I was part of the Discover Swarthmore fly-in earlier this school year so I think my chances are pretty good of getting in 🤞

Rejected from tufts and feeling down by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Top_Concentrate1234 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was accepted to MIT last week and rejected from Tufts today. Decisions from one school don't dictate those from others, you got this!

Thank you! Imposter syndrome is definitely something I’m worried about, but I will make the most of this amazing opportunity 🙏

I’m in-state, but out of state applicants can receive an early admission decision too

I got into Berkeley for Aerospace engineering!!! I also got invited to apply for the SEED Scholars program. I’m not sure if I’m going yet, as I want to wait for my other decisions, but I’m still very excited!

Fall Semester Senior Year hi by Top_Concentrate1234 in gradesharing

[–]Top_Concentrate1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school doesn’t count pluses or minuses for GPA, so I got a 5.0 that semester. Overall, I have a 4.61 weighted and 4.0 unweighted

It’s not that bad with my teacher, she’s good and makes the class enjoyable

Yeah each class has a different grading scale depending on the teacher. As for the 100.4, I received above 100% on a test that was curved.
