For context, my 10th-11th grades are kinda bad and my senior year first-sem grades POPPED OFF for some reason, with my AP rigor also way more increased. So, as my school just finished first sem, I feel like my mid years are being added to my application pretty late in the process, and that some of my schools have probs already reviewed my application. If it gets added at this point, will AO's even bother looking at my report if my application's already been through regional review?

I was accepted to kings college London and university of Virginia! I'm really interested in politics and law and was wondering which would be better in terms of job opportunities, reputation, etc. since they're both really good schools. For reference, I'm an American student! Let me know :-)

I just got rejected from tech OOS. One of my top choices and was my dream school for all of high school. Does anyone know how to get this feeling away cause I hate it. Im trying to look at it positively because I got into UMD earlier but it still just hurts.

all good. i understand it now.

Deferred: Purdue, Florida, UW-Madison, Mich

Delayed: UT-Austin

Rejected: UIUC and GaTech

This hurts I can’t lie, thought I get into at least one but whatever, guess I gotta wait until march (or feb for Texas)

stats for anyone interested: applying MechE, 4.0 UW, 24 DE classes (full dual enrollment), 34 ACT, few good engineering ECs

I was gonna say no but why are you saying no 🤨

I just went through my common app(transfer) essays and to say that I’m horrified would be a major understatement. It’s not like it’s horrible honestly, and no grammatical errors whatsoever but I can’t help but feel like I could’ve done better, like I didn’t really give it my best. ATP, I’m just like y’all should just hand over the rejection letter tbh. Don’t be like me y’all. The worst part is that I don’t hear back till late march/early April. So, I’m stuck feeling like this till then x.

I'm seeing a lot of rejections and deferrals, so im curious if there were many OOS students that got in. If you did get in or deferred can you drop your major and stats?

extremely competitive ECs, 1550, multiple AIME qualification, college admission is weird

I applied for CS at Georgia tech, didn't get admission, however they offered me the Conditional Transfer Parhway Program. Does this mean that if I complete all the requirements and apply as a transfer student I have a guaranteed acceptance? Also, on the website they say all majors except CS are eligible, so am I essentially locked out from applying as a CS major?

i just got an email stating this:

Thank you for applying to Stony Brook University. We have completed an initial review of your application and supporting material.

I write to notify you that your application has been updated for regular decision. Please know, this allows us time to thoroughly consider all admission options.

Admission notifications for regular decision students will be available on or before April 1, 2025.

Thank you for your continued interest in Stony Brook University.

does this mean i got deferred?

(there was something wrong w my transcript and my stony brook status was only updated to awaiting decisions late december)

I got into UMich LSA OOS last week. UMich has been my dream school for years. I’m hoping to transfer into Ross, which I know is difficult and not guaranteed. If that doesn’t work out, I plan to major in Econ. I just got into UIUC Gies today and I am in-state. UIUC has gotten better as a school over the past few years so I’m considering going there due to cheaper tuition.

Which school should I attend? I also am considering going to law school after undergrad (but would like to major in something related to business just in case).

what did we get chat

Accepted to both as CompE OOS. Set on STEM/Engineering. Interested in hearing any opinions! Cost is not a factor.

How does switching my major work in universities? Say for example I applied for Sociology for USC or UNC, would it be possible to switch to a business major and would it be easy?

Just got rejected...

I am an international student and I wanted to apply for data science to UIUC and they have it in their gies college of business. The first two years is probably some general business course after which the next two years we get to declare our major and study that which would be data science+finance. Mostly UIUC is known for its college of engineering and that's where most people from my city go to. I had physics chemistry comp science and maths in my High school and UIUC is quite expensive for me as an international student. However it's ranked #14 in the world qs rankings and #10 in us news for data science. Just wanted to get some opinions.

lol shit happens. was hoping to get at least deferred

So I was accepted to both Indiana and Rutgers and I need help choosing. Right now I'm business undecided but I'm probably going to go into marketing. Indiana's my top choice and I was accepted as a direct admit to Kelley, the only issue is as an OOS student it's kind of expensive and they only gave me $2K in merit. Rutgers is in state so it'd be a lot cheaper but the issue is I was waitlisted from the business school so I'd have to start at the school of environmental and biological sciences then transfer. But even if I get off Rutgers' business waitlist, I like Indiana's program and campus a lot more plus Kelley's a top 10 business school. But idk if choosing Indiana would be a bad decision financially so I need advice

Son is admitted to honors college for both. Finance major.

OOS. Both are in budget, though Miami is quite a bit more expensive, net of merit. Savings in cost promised to be saved for grad school or home downpayment, if he chooses Alabama.

And yes I actually learn something from it

Did anyone else get in or even apply lmao.

title lol

EDIT: rejected oos aerospace engineering

Hi everyone! I'm a junior at a school in the California Bay Area, and I recently became involved with a local nonprofit that feeds thousands of homeless residents each year (yes, this is a real nonprofit). Right now, our leadership team is expanding, and we're looking to onboard several eager leaders who are both passionate about the cause and can demonstrate a strong commitment to the club (you should expect to put in at least 1-2 hours a week).

If you are interested, PM me for more details. There will be a small application process, but I expect that as long as you show a basic level of competence, we will offer you a position. The first ~8 applicants will likely receive a leadership position. Geographical proximity to the Bay Area is preferred, but not required.

Our leadership members have historically done amazing in the college process, and I'm sure that this EC will boost your odds significantly. Plus, it's a great way to give back to the community, especially since homelessness is unfortunately on the rise across the Bay Area.

TL;DR: We're a high-impact food distribution nonprofit in the CA Bay Area looking for leaders. PM me to apply.

Was it available in common app

I came across this the other day and wanted to know if its a good investment or not, for college apps and whatnot

hi all, im currently a sophomore and im looking for summer programs or internships relating to materials science, chemistry, or chemical engineering because thats what i want to do in college. ive looked for programs but im still not sure what would be best for me. i genuinely love science and i want to do something impactful and i feel like doing something and learning at a university is super cool, like last year i did MMSS program at umich and i really enjoyed it! i want to do something similar to that. i also am unsure where you find any internships or programs at all that i could do as a sophomore and a lot of them are expensive too. i just cant seem to find what im looking for. does anyone have any recommendations for things to do this summer?

I’ve gotten into my top college, CU Boulder for engineering, and want to make an announcement post as I don’t see myself going anywhere else. However, I have also applied to some other top engineering colleges, and don’t want this post to be the reason I don’t get into any of them. I want to keep my options open, just in case something doesn’t happen or work out. Would a college actually check my insta, or even care what I have posted about another college?

I get that some schools don't deny first round. But for those that do deny EA, why do people treat deferral like rejection? Clearly there's some interest in you.

nothings gonna stop me now 🦅🦅🦅

haven't been denied or deferred yet hahahahahaha

(just waiting for georgia tech)

doesn't matter though because the only school i can afford is my rural state school >:)

accepted ea : WCUPA, UPitt, ULM, Temple, binhamton, RIT, Penn State, Millersvilel, UMiami, Howard, UMD, Stony Brook

still waiting; georgia tech 💔

anyways maybe this is a lesson that not everything's about getting accepted. even with these schools i can't afford to attend due to family issues. ngl i think apps triggered an episode, couldn't laugh, smile, wake up , shower for a while thinking abt being stuck at home. but yall got to make the best of what u got.
