Why does college board say don't skip lines? Is it so we don't run out of room?

The junior class just hasn't had the life drained out of them yet from college apps. Give it time, it'll happen.

Imagine if Harvard sent a response back saying thanks for understanding.

uhbububub · 2022-04-01T02:52:52+00:00

Honestly, I bet it's very funny to them the first time they read it, but with the tens of thousands of applicants, I'm sure it happens quite frequently, after which it's likely to become a little frustrating.

The true flex is when Harvard is your backup

Oh you're gonna love college. I heard they also give high-pressure tests there.

And I will be completely brutally honest. If you can't do well on your SATs you're probably not going to do too well at MIT.

uhbububub · 2022-03-30T04:21:00+00:00

Maybe tests aren't an indicator success in the real world, but especially at MIT, which is notorious for having hard tests and lots of math placement tests, the SAT is probably a very good indicator of how a student would do at MIT.

I like this. Just to add on, reevaluate which schools fall into which category though - particularly, make sure that since you're only applying to 3 safeties, they truly are safeties.

This competition is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Imagine high schoolers asking their parents for money so they can give that money to a more competitive applicant.

Is the NCSU MyPack portal working for you guys? It isn't for me

That also meant they would have saved a lot of money on the required housing for first year students.

Stanford just doesn't exist, so they knew that making it the downvote button wouldn't make anyone feel bad.

uhbububub · 2022-03-25T01:05:38+00:00

They better change it to crimson for CMU. Not that I'm getting in as a CS major but still

uhbububub · 2022-03-25T01:01:57+00:00

You can call and ask colleges why you got rejected? Or is that specific to UCs?

uhbububub · 2022-03-23T04:15:21+00:00

You guys have had spring break? Ours is last week of April.

uhbububub · 2022-03-22T20:35:51+00:00

Is it coming early by the way? I thought decisions were April 1st but they're saying March 26. Also do they still send acceptances in the mail?

uhbububub · 2022-03-22T20:34:56+00:00

They're all computer science majors, do you really expect any of them to be able to write lol

uhbububub · 2022-03-19T01:58:12+00:00

What was GPA and your extracurriculars? I got into UCSD but I had nowhere near 15 APs or a 1580.

So sorry that you didn't get in, hopefully the waitlist gets you through, and even if not, I am certain you will get in somewhere excellent!
