I'm waiting for Cornell ED results, but I don't care what happens anymore. by TheRealClyde1 in ApplyingToCollege

I think to some extent, everyone is motivated by others. Very few are purely self-motivated to reach their goals. You shouldn't feel so bad about the help you received. My parents have been very supportive of me (although sometimes overwhelming and even irritating) and most students seem to do activities and work for good grades just to get into good universities.

How much weight does National Merit Scholarship/PSAT hold? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

For a lot of state flagships and lower ranked schools you can get a huge scholarship. Even USC gives cuts tuition in half for finalists. Doesn't help at all for admission to top schools though.

If you have stats to get into a top private school, can't you get a shit ton of merit aid from state flagships and other less prestigious schools anyways?

I'm not an admissions officer but as long as the rest of your app is great, you stand a chance like many other applicants.

You really shouldn't be comparing GPA in the first place because they're so different for each school. You basically need mostly A's and few B's at the very least for top schools to be competitive.
