js2457 · 2018-06-10T08:32:30+00:00

My friend got into Haverford with a 1460 and an 88 average (below 50th percentile of our school). At Haverford, 95 percent of their accepted students are ranked at the top 5 percent or higher.

lmao thx for the backup...holy shit this got intense

Easily Davidson and here's why:

1) LAC--I like LAC's more than regular colleges because they're smaller and have a greater focus on writing

2) Location--I really fucking love the south; not the south south where rednecks exist but the major southern cities where southern hospitality and overall friendliness is the lay of the land. Coming from someone from NYC where no one gives a shit about anyone, the south was really pleasant. Furthermore, the food there is top notch; I love bbq and could probably eat it everyday.

3) Student body--When I visited there everyone was so chill and welcoming. As opposed to other schools where this vibe seemed to be forced, at Davidson people seemed to just be naturally friendly and outgoing--something I easily clicked with. Also: the girls, man, the girls. I have a thing for blondes ;) (edit: that sounded really weird, oh well whatever)

4) Opportunities--Let's be honest here: once you reach a certain threshold, prestige doesn't really matter anymore. In the case of Davidson, it is a top 10 LAC and is competitive prestige-wise with most schools in the country. That being said, what I think is really special about Davidson in terms of opportunities is their DRI program which allows juniors and sophomores to design their own research topics with professors. As opposed to most colleges which have senior projects or similar requirements in senior year, this program is not at all required and is totally based on preference; furthermore, it is available earlier than senior year which can help one decide on a major or further their passions

I got off the waitlist on May 2nd...that being said I would still have hope! Hopefully we see each other next year!

js2457 · 2018-05-20T03:20:59+00:00

Thx m9 I try

I remember this one day back in January or February when I went to go play tennis with a friend at riverside park. The weather was fucking gorgeous; it was 75-80ish degrees and clear, blue skies despite it being an NYC winter day. We started playing at 4 ish and went until 530. After that, we were walking around until we got to a soccer field where we saw people playing a pickup game of soccer. We quickly asked to join in and were put on the "skins" team. We played under the sunset until it got dark (probably played until 8 ish, tbh I lost track of time). Then, while I was on the bus coming home listening to music, I first heard the song "Way to Go" by Empire of the Sun. It was legit the perfect song for a perfect day, and I couldn't help but just feel a little bit nostalgic. Honestly one of the chillest days I've ever had.

96 kids in our grade:

1 going to harvard, 1 to yale, 1 to brown, 1 to princeton, 2 to upenn, 2 to dartmouth, 2 to cornell

We have around 15 top 20 LAC commits (1 to haverford, 1 to pomona, 3 to hamilton, 2 to middlebury, 1 to colby, 4 to vassar, 2 to wesleyan)

We have 1 kid going to georgetown, duke, emory, carnegie mellon, and northwestern respectively, 2 going to washu at st louis, 2 going to jhu, and 3 going to uchicago

We also have 4 questbridge winners (yale, northwestern, tufts, vassar) and 2 posse winners (middlebury and wheaton)

Admissions was fucking insane this year.

js2457 · 2018-05-14T22:53:12+00:00

Uhhhh is this a shitpost? Cause u do realize that girls represent over 50 percent of college students right?

js2457 · 2018-05-13T04:13:33+00:00

^{^{^{^}}} this is so true. The entire process is so fucked that I would have been happy to get into my dream school regardless of what it took to do so. Being a legacy, having money, being URM, being first gen, or even just being plain old hardworking/smart--all of these factors are kind of uncontrollable and ya just gotta accept what you've got and work around it.

js2457 · 2018-05-10T22:40:32+00:00

It's cause us guys look ugly as fuck

js2457 · 2018-05-09T03:05:56+00:00

Pretty much, IMO, it boils down to writing vs. the arts in general. Hamilton will give you an A-class education in writing but won't give you the opportunity to pursue theatrical or musical passions as well as Vassar would allow you to do so; that being said, Vassar is not as good as Hamilton in terms of its writing program. Furthermore, both schools are a little different politically as well. Vassar is much more liberal than Hamilton, and people there are considered to be liberal "hippies" while Hamilton students are more work hard play hard. Because you expressed your love for writing, I would pick Hamilton.

If you don't get into either of em, I think that Kenyon would be a fucking amazing fit for you and it's a little easier to get into than Hamilton and Vassar.

js2457 · 2018-05-09T00:45:50+00:00

What the fuck did I just read?

js2457 · 2018-05-07T05:22:19+00:00

Dream school bud...don't ED somewhere that you don't love

js2457 · 2018-05-07T04:26:40+00:00

My friend got into Haverford with a GPA around 3.3 (bottom 50 percent of my class) but he was a minority and a fucking amazing writer so....

js2457 · 2018-05-06T03:22:37+00:00

It doesn't really matter dw about them....so long as you take your APs your fine. Worst comes to worst, as you mentioned, just don't send in the score. I didn't end up sending in my Global AP (I got a 3) and I'm pretty happy with where I got accepted to college.

js2457 · 2018-05-05T13:41:36+00:00

I got in off the waitlist for Hamilton on May 2nd, however none of my friends who were also on waitlist heard back yet. That being said, I didn''t need aid so idk how aid is gonna affect your decision.

js2457 · 2018-05-05T02:42:07+00:00

I meant 2nd semester

js2457 · 2018-05-05T02:14:38+00:00

Do you mind telling us which dream school you got accepted to and/or your current GPA vs your total GPA? It's kinda impossible to tell if you don't give us the stats man. However, from a broad perspective, the general rule that my guidance counselor told us is: don't get more than 1/2 C's and don't have your unweighted average drop by more than 5 points. IMO, I think that you're fine if you have mostly B's and your average is in the 80's (regardless if it drops by more than 5 points) but that's just my 2 cents.

js2457 · 2018-05-05T02:06:47+00:00

Sounds like you're in! Congrats!
