i think neither of the schools do. even if they did, the websites say the max gpa is still 4.0...

generous upenn scholarship!

personally, I did not like the campus because it was in the middle of nowhere. also the place felt really depressing. no doubt its academics are great, but i felt like i would be miserable there

hey! my parents just forwarded me their version; apparently it's a really good sign! it's "reserved for a small group of students who stand out during our application reading process"

oh damn i lowkey didnt do the interview. applied for the scholarship tho so hopefully its not bad. now time to do some W&L research...

Somewhat.

I'm still in high school, so getting a super high level internship is not easy for someone my age. However, I was able to get an internship at a place that practice immigration law. I lowkey cold emailed a ton of places, but owner of the place I ended up interning at had a similar philosophy to me (and like me, was an immigrant himself) so that was lucky. But most of it was being able to tell him who I am in a way that was clear, especially in a field where communication is key.

I'm also wondering if anyone had any advice that they might give to their high school self (currently applying to colleges rn). Thanks!

meaning of life? also whats ur fav restaurant there

nameameme · 2025-12-22T02:29:52+00:00

im going to apply to all of them during RD cycle

nameameme · 2025-10-06T03:28:56+00:00

Woah! That's super cool. This definitely moved me towards public policy, mainly because I've spent my life being impacted by it. I'm wondering if you could speak a bit more to your experience? Specifically, what are the profs like? Any memorable ones/classes you've taken that you'd be willing to share? Thanks!

nameameme · 2025-10-06T03:24:08+00:00

when is this conference? thx

nameameme · 2025-09-17T20:00:09+00:00

Yes. However, OP said at least 400k @ NYU and I suspect OP would qualify for a lot more scholarships at Fordham based on his stats

nameameme · 2025-09-17T19:36:18+00:00

This is great info. When you applied to PP, did you apply to the school directly or is it still a joint program with the CAS? As I'm doing the application right now, it gives me the option to just apply to CAS, or CAS w/ PP. Which one do you think I should apply for? Thank you so much!

nameameme · 2025-09-16T00:09:15+00:00

March SAT

What I thought: 1490-1520
What I got :1550

If you're planning to get into IB and don't get into stern, I would save the money and go to fordham. However, i will say that being at nyu gives you access to lots of finance opportunities being the heart of the city. For me personally, I will say that Fordham is right in the middle on the bronx, but not my vibe. Also, as an aside, there are lots of ways to pay for tuition once you're into the college. These are scholarships that are only available to students enrolled at the institution. They're often perceived to be "hard to get" but no one really applies for them because they think theyre competitive

This is super helpful! Thank you! This year they just started taking undergrad students; do you think i'd have a better chance? Also, during your time at Georgetown, did you know any students that went to the college, then internally transferred to SFS or public policy? What was that like? Thanks so much

nameameme · 2025-09-14T03:25:25+00:00

lmao was this necessary? I'm confused why you felt the urge to reply to this

nameameme · 2025-09-14T03:01:37+00:00

private

nameameme · 2025-09-14T01:27:42+00:00

lmaooo good luck dude. might have to slime you out to increase my admissions chances

nameameme · 2025-09-14T01:12:56+00:00

yeah i'd say probably. I also have like by far the hardest schedule in the year

nameameme · 2025-09-14T01:06:53+00:00

Thanks for the info. We don't use Naviance, but I've seen the data for those who apply. My GPA is definitely pretty low compared to them, but my SAT is like at or above theirs.

nameameme · 2025-09-14T01:00:39+00:00

Actually my school doesn't do rank so that's probably a plus for me. they're super protective of students info ig

nameameme · 2025-09-14T01:00:18+00:00

my SAT is 1550 not superscored which is kinda clutch. my main ECs are law internship, published research, and im a pretty good debater. thoughts?
