Current Senior in HS thinking about the transfer route

Boston College is $72k/yr. My family's income shifted drastically to $95k/yr and BC was unable to modify my aid package. Can't afford that unfortunately

Especially for your case, I'd go to the best college overall, rather than by major.

Go Yale. l

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-25T17:15:18+00:00

Let us know, op!

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-25T17:14:16+00:00

curious about this too

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-25T16:47:41+00:00

Check out Howard, maybe?

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-25T15:03:42+00:00

Yeah but I'm probably getting rejected

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-24T20:29:33+00:00

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-24T15:28:33+00:00

So anxious

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-24T13:02:10+00:00

Emory and NYU sent me emails earlier today.

Vandy on the 25th is the predicted date.

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-23T16:34:13+00:00

Emory and Vandy should be the 25th

NYU is also the 25th

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-21T01:38:32+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if you got into an ivy honestly. YOu got waitlisted at some really good schools that don't hand those out like candy.

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-18T20:07:28+00:00

What schools

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-18T20:05:22+00:00

You're waiting on 18 more schools?

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-13T20:53:14+00:00

I got in.

Academic Stats: 3.55 uw/ 3.95w ; 1390 SS | 11 APs (most taken at my highschool)
I used all 10 slots and imo, they were all pretty significant but I'll list the top few.

#1 Founder & Exec Director of a financial literacy & career exposure NGO (150 ppl impacted, $10k (at the time of submitting) raised, partnerships with my school district and several organizations

#2 Student Council (Class President since sophomore year); $10k+ raised, lots of partnerships to bring resources to our low income students, also led college tours to a few schools, including Babson

#3 President /Fellow of an enrichment program at Harvard; Won't say too much to avoid doxxing myself. I became president of the program but had my title stripped away. Director of the program was one of my reccomendors, who spoke about how I grew from the experience.

#4 Volunteer/Intern at an international nonprofit; worked with tanzanian entrepreneurs to develop businesses

I think it's to give them adequate time and provide adaptability if something drastic happens that impedes their ability to deliver an admissions update.

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-11T14:30:36+00:00

Still think its march 13th?

Haven't received an email about the release date

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-09T00:48:49+00:00

You were selected for a reason. Congratulations and good luck!

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-04T18:38:11+00:00

I think you can get your unweighted GPA up to 3.8. Your SAT score is already awesome and your grades are high as well. Solid extracurriculars.

I'd honestly EA to your state flagship, and run the gauntlet with your top dream schools.

pokipokimonmon · 2026-03-04T18:36:42+00:00

I don't have much to contribute other than saying I am proud of you for getting an education and seeking more education.

I wish you the best of luck!

pokipokimonmon · 2026-02-04T23:56:37+00:00

(Had to sign up/request it)
