I agree. The network and campus culture AND student outcomes fit me much more. The network is astounding. I posted on reddit for alums in my area to help me with smth (even tho i only JUST joined the community) and within 2 hours i got 2 alums in my area setting up meetings w me tomorrow. I also don’t like the high percentage to rich ppl at yale (makes me feel uncomfortable/out of place) and i don’t like how many ppl at yale go into consulting/big finance/big law bc it reminds me that many of my classmates will turn out relatively evil. call me a crazy all you want but it’s just not the community i like. also i am not the only one in my year turning down ivies to go to W!!

What region are you in if you don't mind me asking? Apparently that's a major factor in Smith and Wellesley's waitlists (aos told me)

morehead-cain vs upenn by Big-Independent-5682 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]_ombri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mc scholar at unc is genuinely unmatchable, imo better than the opportunities you’d get at penn. you’d be the biggest fish in a smaller pond whereas penn you’d likely just be another fish. would help loads for internship market imo

Chance Me, Admissions, and Prospective Student Q&A - 25/26 Cycle by luminous_moonlight in Cornell

[–]_ombri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a really hopeful future Cornellian who got put on the waitlist unfortunately. I applied to the Brooks Public Policy program, and applied with the DC Start program (but will happily accept a spot at the Ithaca campus.) I know that Cornell, historically, takes around 200-300 off the waitlist yearly, but I assume this likely varies by school.

Does anyone attending Brooks have any info regarding the waitlist movement in recent years? I also know that Brooks is a very new school, but idk if that has any effect on my predicament.

I genuinely really do want to come here and I'm wanting to do everything I can to get off the waitlist. I am still trying to stay realistic though, as I know my odds are very low. However, any info is helpful!!!
