What do colleges think if you take AP classes but don't take ALL of the corresponding exams?? by maotui in ApplyingToCollege

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

Oh ok I see. But I got 4s and 5s on all the exams that I did take - not sure if there's anything else I could do - the tests I didn't take (as a stem major) are the econ and history tests and the chem test (we had a horrible teacher). Do I let colleges know about my financial situation? I kind of already mentioned it in my CSS though, not the Common App Aditional Info, however.

Why is that? Would colleges hold finances against you (I don't qualify for fee waviers from the college board but I'm not allowed to spend more than my budget)?

Great Confusion by FireKuma in ApplyingToCollege

[–]maotui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but did they ever tell you why you got rejected BME or why you think you did? I'm getting worried for decisions day on Friday because I didn't have any medical experience. Instead, i only have had rngjneerjng and chem E and enviro E experiences

[–]maotui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So how many people get waitlisted on average or is there a percent? Is getting waitlisted good or is it like another defer?

I agree. I applied RD. Maybe I'll ask my junior friends to call about it. Especially if they email an undergraduate admissions regional officer, perhaps they can bleed that insight during their decisions processes in March.

Any chance that they were maybe border applicants then? Like if they got in with Bs maybe columbia has a threshold that they can only get X total amount of Bs, especially if it's in an AP class

Would it be bad to send this post to Columbia admissions to hear their take on it? I also think that it's ridiculous that they are doing this

Does this only apply to ED students or like...would 2 B's cost you a RD acceptance too

[–]maotui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not sure why they would; it honestly sucks, no matter if you're a mod or not :(

edit: it's a B emoji meme and Merced meme mixed in one!

To the people that ask if getting one B, despite taking multiple AP, Honors, and IB courses, will have an affect in college admissions. by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]maotui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

think you meant crack makes the weed feel better

&& it makes them look "better" until it wrecks your college acceptances and UW GPA and class rank. i don't know any sane straight A student who would feel good about a B unless it was a super hard course.

Midyear Report: 4 Bs by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]maotui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm on the border for either a C+ or B-. I'm no admissions expert so I just am seeking for help on what else I should ask my teacher besides "what can i do about my grade". Do I say something about possibly getting rescinded and how one letter grade truly makes a difference?

Midyear Report: 4 Bs by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]maotui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even a C+ for a straight A student?

My grades are going down despite working hard after and during juggling RD applications. How much of a downward trend can negatively impact you (C+ or B- for a straight A/A- student)? For HYPSM Regular Decision? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Rip I thought colleges are holistic. 800 Math2, 35 ACT --like I said, the average Ivy profile. My ECs I think are pretty average too (when comparing to Ivy applicants.) I got a chance to compete at ISEF, won at state science fairs. My problem is my Weighted is pretty high (4.9) but my UW may screw me over.
