Brown- Waitlist
UPenn - Waitlist

Wow, that is a surprise. back in 93/94 when I was applying, Brown was THE place to go - the ivy with a lib arts atmosphere. Noone got in. We had a Brown-reject party at college.

Brackis,

I think a great thing to help posterity would be to find out form the institutions that accept you, what they based their acceptance on. It would provide real insight into admisisons practices.

Still waiting on Princeton, eh?

I'll try.... honestly am shocked that NW let me in. I sent in my online app 3 days late, wrote it in 2 hours before sending it w/o a proofread, and suggested that MLK and Guerrilla abolitionist John Brown would make for an interesting discussion on prejudice.

Savarak at 8 of 11 (assuming princeton rejection) will take the cake at first glance.
His predications are EXACTLY what I was expecting (assuming anyone took me)

wooohoo

I'm surprised Penn waitlisted you, and NW accepted you

[Savarak]

If tis any consolation, you don't have to go to a "uppercrust" school. I applied to LeMoyne, SU, and Cornell. I got accepted at all three. I had an A- GPA (90.55%), and an SAT score of 1220 (Damn Oct/Nov SAT's got Fvcked, thats when i took em). I could get into any school I wanted to. Paying for it is a different story. You sound much like Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby....

I declined the Cornell admission, and went to Lemoyne for a year (because it was only 8k out of pocket expenses), and am now in Pharmacy School, and in htree years I will have my PharmD

Did you apply to one of the NY state schools @ cornell and have benefit of residence?
Also, I think James Gatz would be a better comparison for your arguement, even though I disagree with it.

Thats coo bro. Yes I did have the benefit of residence, I applied to the College Agriculture and Life Science, but as I already said, having the benefit of residence do less for admitance, and more for Aid.

GTG tho, college visits today.

Congrats to Savarak, he guessed 8 of 11. Well done!!!! He will get a $10 bill and a personal keepsake momento to remind him of this glorious competition.

 

[jaybert]

just a fyi, cornell's acceptance rate has dropped to ~21% overall this year if i'm not mistaken.

 

[jaybert]

not really...it does help with admissions, as they are expected to accept a certain # of NY residents to those schools which are considered state schools.

its the same reason why it is so hard to get into berkeley if you are out of state....

Human Ecology is around 35%, which is the college that the policy analysis and management department is in.

yay i win something, sweet!

Too bad about all the rejections but getting into a few of them and also being put on a wait list is a really good thing! I say you should choose Northwestern overall, but I'm biased cuz I'm from Illinois

I think I'm leaving that way. Your personal gift will likely a piece of construction debris I pick up off my construction site tomorrow.
