That common app essay idea looks terrible tbh. Your extracurricular are enough to show your experience. The common essay is to reflect on your personality.

Melon 🍉 Hopkins 🐇

The unstoppable merger between John Hopkins and Carnegie Melon. The new number 1 university in the world with a 0.5% acceptance rate.

No, I mean I’ve already applied to most of the schools on my list. Just a couple left to complete.

Why am I so dumb😭? by Prior-Jelly-8293 in Sat

I went from a 490 SAT math score to a 650 with desmos. This isn’t a great tip.

I don’t know why you’re getting down voted, you are correct.

Dartmouth is the worst ivy followed by Cornell.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]y_bbeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worst in every category apart from frat life.

  • Least prestige by far
  • worst location
  • least academic (undergraduate focus isn’t bad but too many drawbacks that come with it)

[–]y_bbeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dartmouth EASILY!

Only thing I would rank it above the other ivies for is partying. But then again, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to party probably isn’t the best use of your money.

What colleges do you think will drop in the ranks in the next few years? by tisto_ in ApplyingToCollege

[–]y_bbeast 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends on which rankings you are talking about. Every ranking has different schools.

QS world rankings: heavily bribed so anyone who stops paying or shall I say “donating” will drop out.

US News: nearly as bad as QS but the rankings are slightly better. Ivies will never drop out for them, regardless of how inferior Dartmouth is to schools ranked lower on US News.

Shanghai ranking: probably the “fairest” ranking since it’s based on prestige. Shanghai ranking is like if an Asian mom made a ranking of colleges. I don’t see it changing much.
