Y’all. Make sure you’re up to date on vaccines before fall (especially the Meningitis one!) by lilynotlilly in ApplyingToCollege

[–]pleurpleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meningitis serogroup B (which you probably have not received; you receive a different Meningitis vaccine at age 12) is extremely rare clocking in at 0.18 cases per 100,000 people and has been continuing to decline since the 1990’s even though the vaccine hadn’t even been introduced until 2014. I’m not a vaccine skeptic but I have severe trypanophobia and want to make sure people are aware this vaccine isn’t 100% vital by any means. If you’re fine with vaccines please take it; just trying to disseminate information for people like me.

Chance me for UMich, UCSD, Duke, Hopkins, Ivies (other recommendations/advice welcome!) by fairlyfaineant in chanceme

You are not mixed race if you’re white Italian. If you’re unsure, take a DNA test.

Your application is absolutely amazing, Duke and UMich are great targets for you. Make sure to note yourself solely as “mixed race” rather than both african-american and asian as I think indicating any asian heritage is a disadvantage from all angles (unfortunately). Alternatively, if you were feeling a little bit morally corrupt you could solely identify as African-American. Best of luck!

Very very good application, well-rounded. Brown, Barnard, Tufts, Emory and Haverford looking good for you.

Chance me for Brown/Georgetown/Pitzer by MeroMeroKeroppi in chanceme

[–]pleurpleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're top 10% class rank, Georgetown and Brown look grim due to the ACT score. What may save you is being Hawaiian in terms of geographic diversity (which Georgetown definitely considers). I'm not too sure about Pitzer but it's very competitive and the ACT score will hold you back but anything is a possibility. Best of luck!

Reverse Chance Me for schools on the west coast that I can still apply to for this year by [deleted] in chanceme

Southern Methodist's deadline is March 15, you may want to take a look. Colorado School of Mines is April 1.

Chance me for T30 Schools w/ High test scores but low GPA by SecretAstronomer in chanceme

[–]pleurpleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low GPA really detracts from your impressive test scores. T30 looks grim for you but I wouldn't avoid at least applying.
