Visited Colby this week, honestly I didn’t hold high hope after reading posts on this sub including the campus, the food and the culture, it turns out it beats my expectations, the campus is beautiful and decently large, the athletic center is amazing, the discrimination mentioned here and there not so much, especially after discussion with a student POC who is not part of the guided campus tour group, this POC didn’t feel any racial discrimination from any group, felt being supported by either the faculty or student body, surprisingly made me like Colby more, the food genuinely not bad at all, very decent food, better than some other school food in Boston, guess you need to see how it is with your own eyes.

Still had a few more schools to visit, but Colby is absolutely a very positive experience.

I chose economics for my second major at cornell because data science wasn't being shown as an option/ Is that because they don't let you choose a second major in a different college and would I ever have had the chance to request that?

Does having too many credits look bad for me if I am a junior transfer? Like my current institution's minimum is 120 to graduate but I might be gaining around 80 credit hours by the end of my sophomore year...

is it me or are they still not processing???

I heard from an AO.

anyone know when they will release decisions?

If I haven't heard yet for priority deadline am I cooked. Deadline to hear back is the 15th and I assume that would just be a rejection day since they have been rolling out for weeks.

To the same school i mean

Hey if anyone applied ECE to UCB do you mind dropping your stats/ec's?

has anyone had this happen? i was rejected by georgetown and jhu in hs but applied as a transfer and i want hope that it might help me by showing consistency and improvement.

for example:

- same SAT💔 had to submit for gtown

- graduated w a higher hs gpa than when i applied (moved up from top 18% of my class to top 10%)

- 4.0 cc gpa

- improvement and continuation of ecs (us senate intern)

idk if it’s a common trope or not but i’ve heard it happens a lot?

Hi everyone, I’m just curious to see if anyone here is using VetLink or just Service to School in general and how their experience has been and any transfer success. I’m working with them right now myself, won’t get into my specific stats here, but just curious to see what everyone else’s experience with them is.

Thanks

former cornell applicants, regardless of whether you were accepted or not, did any of you submit your materials (like midyear report) pretty late and still get your decision during the first wave?

asking because i turned mine in 3/31

Thoughts between transfer to USC and NYU. The program of study is the same quality in both schools. East coast based raised in a big city. I have a great social life at an OOS flagship. Education not on par w USC and NYU. The only thing that worries about transferring is not finding my people especially when i am not guaranteed housing. Thoughts? Anybody transfer to either and get housing? How did you find your friends?

As title says, was waitlisted when I applied to Yale out of high school. Unfortunately got rejected and went to California CC and ended up with a 4.0, great extracurriculars (according to me), okay essays (i’d say), and a 1530 SAT. Also applying as an EE if it matters. Will the fact that I was previously waitlisted help me at all? Will they even be able to see it? Curious if anyone knows.

Hi guys I’m a first year student at Rutgers NB. I am interested in going into front office finance and have joined some of the more selective finance student groups on campus. I recently got into UMich LSA for transfer and I have been wondering if it is worth transferring. I know Mich name carries weight in the industry but is it worth leaving for LSA if I want to do finance. Also, how do transfer students interested in finance @LSA compete when they arrive. Are they outcast from clubs? Do they get a fair chance of joining the more prestigious clubs and groups? I would appreciate it if someone could help me out as soon as possible as I would have to make a decision soon. Thank you

i had bad grades in high school. after that, i went through a lot of trouble like having mental health issues and other health problems. this caused me to have many withdrawals from the first 3 years. i did not attend the community college at all during this time. unfortunately, all of the courses from this time show on transcript with F,W, or EW.

i can make sure that they are not used in GPA calculation through academic renewal programs. however, they still remain on the transcript.

since then, i enrolled again last fall and have been exceptional at the school. nothing less than an A. i want to say that my final gpa will be 4.0 regardless. i want to show this massive improvement to the schools.

do you think this will matter? especially to top schools in top 30.

As a Sped individual I have been denied opportunities to participate in most AP classes like AP lang and AP literature and I feel left out.

Hey guys!

So, I have heard back already from a couple universities for transfer including:

Accepted: University of Michigan- Ann Arbor ✅ University of Rochester ✅ University of Miami ✅ University of Nevada-Reno ✅

Waiting: Vanderbilt University UNC Chapel Hill USC WashU St. Louis

If costs aren’t considered, which schools should I highly consider committing to for pre-med to best prepare me for Med School?? I am honestly unsure of where to go and would like to know if anyone could provide any insight🙏🏼
