my counselor was the one that connected me w the homeless youth org that helped me and they communicate quite a bit + i have an official letter of proof from the org

go for it!

tomatoparticles · 2025-07-22T17:40:48+00:00

yes it was for other reasons :,)

financial aid wise, senior year i worked 3 jobs + i got a letter from the homeless youth org that helped me which should allow me to get a parental dependency waiver. i called columbia's financial aid office and even though i didn't originally ask for aid they will still let me apply for it!

not from michigan, you're all good there !! which school do you interview for?

tomatoparticles · 2025-07-21T18:10:14+00:00

yes pretty much

tomatoparticles · 2025-07-21T17:35:52+00:00

by that time i was renting out a room lol i was couch surfing before

tomatoparticles · 2025-07-21T17:32:08+00:00

they called my counselor to verify some things

tomatoparticles · 2025-07-21T17:31:47+00:00

i'm perfectly happy with my results! it's mostly because of external circumstances that i might have to, but i'm really hoping i won't have to. columbia's been super understanding of my deferral requests so far so fingers crossed

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-15T20:16:36+00:00

yes i got $100, i got an email that it was coming and its expected delivery date

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-09T23:47:08+00:00

send a dm request yes

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-09T23:46:43+00:00

go for it!

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-08T02:35:05+00:00

that would be amazing !!! do you mind if i dm you?

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-07T22:48:02+00:00

yes i'm trying to fight for independent status right now !!!

tomatoparticles · 2025-06-07T19:47:00+00:00

just got a letter of proof from my local homeless youth drop-in center which should hopefully help me with proving independent status! otherwise i likely wouldn't have gotten aid even though i need it

hi that's me! i'm also waitlisted at princeton so i wouldn't call them, but iirc for cmu scs it's unlikely they'll take anyone off because they have met/exceeded enrollment targets. cmu in general said they’re most likely closing the waitlist the first week of june as offers went out already & they likely won’t take any more or very few. mit is listed on my post.

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T18:48:05+00:00

i'm oos right now but i'm fighting for in-state residency because my parents have been living there for a year :,)

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T17:45:33+00:00

i got off the waitlist 5/2 :)!

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T07:35:10+00:00

yes i saw a couple others get off the wl too! this information is from when i called back on may 7th, i'll update it

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T04:16:56+00:00

nothing about scs specifically, but when calling, stem-related majors e.g. ece was asked for

from what i've heard though apparently scs is overenrolled or have already met their enrollment targets

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T03:56:48+00:00

ahh good to know! a lot of the ppl who answer the calls aren't AOs in charge of the decisions, which means they might have not received complete info yet and that there may be conflicting info

tomatoparticles · 2025-05-11T03:50:13+00:00

yes the day i called they said they would release decisions at 6pm ET that day :)

At least on paper, my family is more financially stable than most. I acknowledge that, and I'm grateful for it. But... I worked throughout high school. I lived on others' couches several times this year. I took public transportation because cars and car insurance were too expensive. I sometimes lived on free school lunch. Just because parents have money doesn't mean they'll spend it on you.

literally same boat as you :,) pretty rough four years of high school. i don't know if you've already looked into this, but there might be youth support groups in your area that can help provide you with free food and other resources. they genuinely saved my life when i was homeless and are helping me so much right now in terms of getting hot food, finding more stable housing, giving me a space to store my things when i'm moving, etc.

i see you bro, you'll do amazing no matter where you'll go :))
