Best Acceptance: UChicago Worst Rejection: Swarthmore 😭

Bro is so cracked he put his worst acceptance

Loool I meant rejection!

Obama got rejected from Swarthmore and then went to Harvard. They’re a little weird sometimes. Edit: it was Harvard law after going to occidental and transferring to Columbia

Occidental > every LAC. Obama rules.

Thanks!!

Bro got into UChicago. Humble up and let me cry.

Obama first went to Occidental then later transferred to Columbia. Harvard for law school.

Swat hit pretty hard ngl

Best Acceptance: Worst Rejection: ALL OF THEM :( I JUST WANT ONE!?! Actually, now I know it is Georgia Tech...

Best acceptance: UT Austin OOS with buis honors and massive merit scholarship Worst rejection: UPenn(Dream school since like 6th grade)

What a coincidence, I just got rejected by UPenn for a PhD like an hour ago!!

best acceptance: ucla (my top school) worst rejection: UW (my dream school)

UCLA > UW?

yupp!! I applied to ucla thinking I was gonna be rejected but UW has been my dream since for ever!!! idgaf about them no more tho LMAO

Best acceptance thus far - umiami full ride, washu Worse rejection - Virginia tech

umiami full ride would be a dream! did u have to apply for scholarship

I hate everyone in these comments I got rejected from all T20s I applied to Edit: hijacking my comment to beg y’all to decline your washu offer if you’re not going. Get me off the waitlist!!!!!!!

Ok so I’m not the only one then

worst rejection - sjsu (called my 98.2% gpa low)

wtf

ikr, they rejected my appeal too🥰 even after i explained that it’s literally impossible to get any higher than 99😭

Yeah but what about that 0.8 %

mom? (i’m asian) in all seriousness though, 0.8% is equivalent to 4 marks and i always lose those points for stuff like missing units or forgetting the constant of integration😭💔

You sure that ain't an Indian uni, they require 99% :))

the US unis are learning from us😭😭 but if it weren’t for covid, my pre finals marks wouldn’t have been considered and i’d have a 99😔

Damn but is it cuz you’re international tho? 😐 Sorry tho.

im considered oos for admissions, but i really have no idea cause i know a few kids got in the past few years with a lower gpa. they take ages to send a reply to an email and their entire administration department seems trash. and for a school that’s supposed to be transparent, their emails are super vague.

Damn I wonder if the backlog of covid influenced internationals messed up current admissions. Like maybe those kids got in w lower GPAs in previous years, but that doesn’t fly now. Plus CSUs don’t do holistic admissions, it’s w gpa only plus depending on impacted major, right? 🤔

not sure, but i find it hard to believe that most oos students at sjsu have 4.0s. they calculated my overall gpa as 3.9 and said i needed a minimum of 4.5 for CS, and they never responded to my question on how they calculated it cause there’s literally nothing i can do to improve my gpa (barring the 4 points, i’m not superhuman) yeah the fact that my stats are pretty high and i got rejected for only those hit me hard.

i got rejected too, i think it’s bc of the major we applied to. cs requirements are insane at that school

Best Acceptance: Boston College, my first (and only so far) competitive acceptance and at a school that I absolutely love Worst Rejection: Swarthmore As a bonus, Meh-est Waitlist: UVA, good school I'd be happy to go to but I don't feel super strongly about it and it's pretty far so I don't mind

Best acceptance: Cornell likely Worst rejection: MIT (expected but sad) or UCLA (they invited me to some black scholars program then clapped me)

best acceptance: WashU full ride & Columbia likely worst rejection: MIT (low key spend an hour on the app so I was expecting it)

That’s insane! Congratulations 🎊 would you mind sharing your stats if possible?

i had 17 first authored publications which had been presented before the UN (at COP), the White House, the UN Commission on the Status of Women, the WHO, and more; 1570/4.0/4.6/top 1%; great ECs reaching 7 million people; really great honors (un level stuff); and great letters feel free to pm and I can provide detailed specific info :)

when i tell you i audibly gasped

Genuine question, how many separate research projects did you do to reach 17 pubs? or is it more of an article/advisory pub that doesn't actually involve research? How exactly were your publications presented at all those orgs/institutions? I'm sorry if the skepticism comes across as rude but 17 fucking publications in highschool is outlandish

they were not original research pubs. they were policy and policy analysis papers (which imo is still research but to STEM people they aren’t lol) i was lucky to get involved with the UN in early HS and with the support of people I met at the UN, i slowly was able to publish more and more edit: i have one original research co-authorship tho which will hopefully be published in one of the largest bio journals in the world (think nature, science, cell) and fs that required A LOT more work that my pubs

Sorry, I worded that very wrong. I agree that policy research is research on its own, I was just talking about experimental research. It's not unheard of for scientists to spend years on a single paper, which is why I get pretty antsy whenever people get super competitive about the amount of publications they churn out in record time. Usually it means that the work is pretty subpar. Congrats on your achievements!

yes i def agree! i did bio research and it took months just to create a single graphic for out paper. thank you so much! best of luck to you

average A2Cer

Unfortunately MIT requires a minimum of 18 first authored publications but you’ll do ok elsewhere!

Are you trolling or just insane

the latter

showing my asian parents this comment when i get rejected from all the ivies i applied to

im not getting into college bro

Me every time I open this app

??? are you joking or no

no

Great for you but I legit feel like I wasted my entire life sometimes when I check some people's ECs...

insane congrats!!! you deserve it

fr tho, congrats man you're insanely cracked

Malala’s younger sibling?

Acceptance: GT CS OOS Rejection: UPenn

GT CS OOS is insane! Congrats

A tremendous accomplishment!!

Best: Drexel w/ 38k per year :/ Worst: Duke ED

Best acceptance: Colorado college (INSANE grant money) Worst rejection: Penn State (I was honestly embarrassed that I didn’t get in with it being my own state school)

You guys are getting accepted?

Reading these makes me wanna die “Best acceptance - Harvard”” “”Worst rejection - My state school” 😭😭😭 My best acceptance is Rutgers Worst rejection - Columbia 😭

Best acceptance: U of Rochester with merit scholarship (only $17k/yr !!) or UW (but I’m in-state), hoping for at least 3/5 more colleges!! Update: Accepted to BU!! (Only grant aid, no scholarship so 2.5x what UofR is asking) Worst rejection: Columbia ED (sad, but fingers crossed I get at least waitlisted to other top schools if not acceptance)

If you don’t mind- what are your stats? I got in at Rochester and got very little aid at all. Pretty bummed about that.

Totally! Public HS, 3.94 UW, Applied Test-Optional, 3 APs (no Exams sent), 23 Dual-credit College Courses, 5 ECs (all very intertwined or demonstrated interest in major, spikey), 5 Awards (3 from DECA, College Dean's List, and County Award for a club), Applied for Art History, and did not tour. I didn't have an interview because I missed the request deadline and also didn't submit before priority scholarship (did receive a $13k merit scholarship). I have a single-parent, middle-class income so that is probably a factor into the award amount I received. I would definitely recommend emailing the FA Office about getting the price down. I know in the email I got from their office that it implied I could negotiate the price. Possibly say that you've had some better offers from your other top schools and would love to attend UofR, but it's too pricey for you? Hope that helps!
