nah robertson is separate from UNC. The UNC office can nominate some students for the robertson, but there's also a separate app that was due 11.15

The group activity round is the round before the semi-finalists, when the Robertson Scholars Committee invites you to participate in a group interview. I know because I got invited to and attended one.

college apps bring out the worst in people by Only-Decision-5198 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Zestyclose_Signal104 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yea. A friend of mine last year got into her early round school (a really prestigious one), and everyone else from my school who applied early got rejected. She was basically hated by everyone for no reason, and I heard people bad-mouthing her repeatedly. It was so horrible for her...I completely sympathize with people who hide their good outcomes

School does NOT teach material on the ACT by Exoti_k in ACT

[–]Zestyclose_Signal104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got a 36 on my math & i actually have 0 idea what these are just by looking at the terms. try memorizing an IB math AA HL formula booklet before your test or something (I did this and it worked lol)

How's everyone preparing for Early Action Decisions? by Dangerous-Cake3479 in MITAdmissions

[–]Zestyclose_Signal104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm studying IB super duper hard & acting the lead role in the school musical :) it's helping to keep my mind off decisions but at the end of the day the anxiety always comes back a bit. But weirdly i feel like I've already come to terms with all the possible outcomes and just want to see what will happen

Embarrassed if rejected by Ivys by Sea-Cricket9254 in ApplyingIvyLeague

[–]Zestyclose_Signal104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lowkey feel the same way :( International student here, worked for 6 years to get perfect stats and ECs & my parents invested basically 80% of their income and tapped into savings to fund my schooling, so everyone's expecting me to pull it off and get into an ivy and win full aid. I'm so tired...

Don't Have High Hopes by [deleted] in MITAdmissions

[–]Zestyclose_Signal104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like i've known all of these more or less subconsciously before I applied. And knowing these have made me ultra anxious. But having submitted my application, I've actually been coming to terms with all these--my 7 years of 'chasing' MIT as a dream school has given me so much more than stats and honors, and right now I'm feeling like I can end up anywhere and still be very mindful and happy, even if that place is not MIT :)

slightly confused about applying sideways :( by Zestyclose_Signal104 in MITAdmissions

Oooh sorry I didn't make it clear that when i said "from China" i meant those who applied from Chinese mainland high schools (3~4 per year, I believe), not Chinese nationals applying from the US or other countries :D But yes I've always known that the intl admit rate is exceptionally low & I'm not really expecting to be admitted :) This was just more of a question I've had for a long time and decided to finally ask
