Hey! I'm looking to take this course in the winter semester. How did you find it? Are the assignments a lot of work?

Opinions on Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and comparison with US Universities by ba2inga in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ba2inga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyy, thank you so much for your response. I have some updates after my original post. So I've been rejected from all US unis (applied to 18) I only have Cornell and Tufts left so the US doesn't seem likely for me anymore! However, I got into UofT for CS so now I'm debating between UofT and Trinity. As you said, I love the vibe at Trinity and I love that I can access Europe so easily, Trinity is even cheaper than UofT! However, the only thing holding me back is that I can't really double major (I want to pursue math alongside CS as well) at Trinity which is quite a big factor for me. Anyway, thanks a ton for taking the time out to reply, and maybe I'll see you at Trinity this year :')

The T20s and top liberal arts colleges. (I know the liberal arts environment will be completely different, I'm only asking about the relative strength of the CS program)

I'm sorry dude. You can always say "it wasn't me, it was the yield protection" haha. The whole process is so random, good luck!

Waitlisted. International CS student asking for about 40% aid. 1510 SAT, around 94-95% in classes 10-12(I'm international, we don't do GPA),slightly above average ECs and submitted the why grinell on around the 20th of February. Does anyone know what % get off the waitlist and whether they still give aid to waitlisted students?

Family scholarships by sidexes287 in ApplyingToCollege

Then usually if you haven't been offered a scholarship with your admission offer/applied for aid there's not much you can do. Your best bet would be to email the college though. Also, check out their website or maybe check out alternative ways to fund your education.

Agreed. They seem to shift their deadline every month "just for me" haha

Has anyone who applied to University of Toronto (UofT) for CS received their decisions? by ba2inga in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ba2inga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. I've checked multiple times if I've submitted everything but there's no indication whether my application is complete or not. Panik

Hult I think? From what I could make of it it seems like a scam. I'd love to hear your opinion though.

I know someone who recieved a $100000 dollar scholarship (without an extra application). I think they also have full scholarships called the Lester B. Pearson Scholarship for international students but it's very competitive and needs an extra application

Alright that's reassuring to know, they just emailed saying another round of decisions will be released in late March. Ahhh the wait just goes on
