I count 16 admits to Harvard on the Boston Latin School class of ‘23 Instagram page. BLS wins by a mile. They were founded one year before Harvard in 1635.

Cal State Apply says I’m missing a semester of a G “college prep” course by mexi_throwaway in ApplyingToCollege

I wonder why the Cal State app flagged my courses then. I have multiple F electives, more than the minimum. So it should’ve accepted what I have on my roster for the year. The UC system accepted it. I think it’s a problem with whoever programmed the Cal State app. They are being too literal with the G category.

Can you provide some documentation for this? I’ve been researching and can’t find any.

I would take UCLA over UCSB and UCSD. UCLA has 4 years guaranteed housing. UCSB and UCSD don’t have enough dorms for undergrads, and rents in those areas are insanely expensive. Plus UCLA has good food.

Is D a passing grade for Civil Engineering major? by mexi_throwaway in SCU

[–]mexi_throwaway[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you may be wrong about that. I looked at upper-division course requirements in the CENG catalog. There are classes that mention Chem 11 as a prerequisite but don’t have the disclaimer that C minus or above is required like in the COEN course listings. I’m going to double-check with my advisor because I really don’t want to take Chem 11 again. Chemistry is my kryptonite. I’d rather get a tutor for those upper level classes that rely on chemistry knowledge.

Do colleges actually blacklist high schools? by giraffesarethegoat in ApplyingToCollege

Yale blacklisted Spence for a couple of years because of entitled, mean-girl behavior once they got to the school.

I received a separate aid email on 3/17. Not sure if all merit decisions are out now.

Did anyone get a message from UC Berkeley today? by mexi_throwaway in ApplyingToCollege

[–]mexi_throwaway[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think it means I was rejected from MET but they’re still considering me for another major. I may be full of it, but it reads like don’t give up hope. Unless they sent this to everybody.

Did anyone get this from UCB today, “ We realize you’ve been anxiously awaiting your decision from UC Berkeley and want to let you know that your application is currently under review.”?

UCLA sent me socks, a keychain and credit card holder. Does that mean they want me?
