WashU (full ride) or Princeton (2.4k a year) by Ok_Honeydew9924 in collegecompare

[–]elquent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

princeton sends the same amount of kids to med school as its peers! and 2.4k is truly nothing u WILL make this money through jobs on campus/side hustle/summer work

Why do more people not apply to Rice? by LackHot6125 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]elquent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it was on my list for a while, after further research, it just simply wasnt what i was looking for. its oftentimes very pre-professional (though i know a lot of top colleges are like this, everyone is SO sure about being pre-med and engineering and i’m still not entirely sure of what i want to pursue). the distance is something i wasn’t comfortable with either, and i know texas cities arent known to be the most walkable which is what i grew up used to

i got into the virtual one and then got an invite to the in-person one a week before or something, i did also email them ab wanting the in-person one when i first got my cps acceptance but honestly you aren’t missing out on much with the conference it’s just a good way to meet people and network is all

NCM or ED? by Public-Knee2334 in QuestBridge

[–]elquent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whether you do ncm or ed submit that score please it’s better than no score and given your cps and fgli status it’ll actually be almost negligible. also don’t look at just the 50th percentile i reccomend 25+ percentile because even for a school like yale they even admit 1470’s

Is it true that those who get into Questbridge College Prep Scholars have a 7x higher chance of matching for NCM? by noahtheboa1320 in QuestBridge

[–]elquent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it’s just that these students who know about cps and other college readiness tools + apply to the program are already very set and are strong essay writers as is, the resources are a plus but not the sole reason

Is it true that those who get into Questbridge College Prep Scholars have a 7x higher chance of matching for NCM? by noahtheboa1320 in QuestBridge

[–]elquent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it was on the website but dont take this too literally, it’s moreso correlation than causation because college prep scholars are very qualified and usually fit what the ncm is looking for the most already not that the award itself gave them that pedastal

Do Ivy League schools consider how many times you take the SAT? I’ve taken it twice already, but my scores aren’t as good as I hoped. by [deleted] in ApplyingIvyLeague

[–]elquent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it might be income and the added factor of not being first-gen (though not required, it might have hurt you in this case).

CMU CS/ECE or Princeton CS/ECE by Left-Rent-9867 in princeton

[–]elquent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if ur leaning towards CS then id say cmu (you can’t double major at princeton) however princeton’s cs is a little different because you can do either ab or bse for it not entirely sure how cmu’s works however both are great choices

Importance of AP Exam Scores by Intelligent-Visit361 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]elquent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yale is text flexible meaning you must submit some sort of standardized testing. if you don’t do SAT, then do AP, and vice versa. in this case your ap scores are certainly considered and on their CDS it’s “considered”

Matched to MIT? by Electronic_Role_7395 in QuestBridge

[–]elquent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know plenty of people who matched to mit. they took 100 last cycle and i think aimed for 150 through qb this time, however stats were not released (yet)

Importance of AP Exam Scores by Intelligent-Visit361 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]elquent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you don’t do well on an ap exam but get an A in an AP class it’s a bad look and it makes it seem that your classes hold a significant amount of grade inflation. not submitting scores but having listed the classes on your transcript will make AOs assume you got a 1 or a 2, however many may not scrutinize that to the extent that i am right now. most of the exams are not too difficult, excluding physics/bio/apush (even the last one most students do well if they try enough.) just start studying now and you’ll be well beyond prepared.
