USA: Stanford: Reeejected (No big suprise) Cornell: Reeejected (No big suprise) Notre Dame: Waitlisted (:O totally expected rejection) Canada: McGill: Acception yo~ UBC: Accepted! Waterloo: Waiting UofT: Waiting I a question regarding McGill, if any current students or graduates would be so kind enough as to answer it. How much of a handy cap would it be if you only knew limited French? I know McGill is an English school, but it is in Quebec- I assuming from a school perspective it would be ok to just know English, but what about the community, partying, ect. Would that be happered by just speaking English? Ya, I'm pretty happy about McGill, as it is my number one realistic choice. Maybe I'll see some of you there in September. | ||

Everyone speaks english anyways, it's pretty hard to find someone in quebec that speaks soley french as it is. So no it has no impairment on anything. Though it's a good chance to improve on another language! | ||

I wanna know what your guys' secret was. I got waitlisted at 6 schools and got into only cornell. How in gods name did you guys manage to get into multiple of the top schools. I got into cornell but waitlisted at Umich ann arbor which made no sense to me. also waitlisted at: harvey mudd, claremont, berkley, ucla, There're probably a lot of Asian-Americans, since this is a website about video games. Nice job with Cornell. I got into Umich and HMC. I take it you're in California? | ||

- 800 Math II, 800 Bio-E, 790 Chem - 3.941 GPA - USAMO qualifier freshman year (not close since; I was lucky the first time) - National Merit Finalist - assorted competition placings, national included - assorted club involvement, but unfortunately not outstanding - not great volunteering (the kind that you look to see that they did it, but it doesn't help) - decent essays (you never really know how good they are, but they were neither exceptional nor bland, so meh) - Asian male from Texas applying for chemical engineering everywhere, I applied to Princeton/Rice for ChemE just because I had essays laid out for the other schools, and I didn't want to change much due to laziness -_- Rejected: Stanford, MIT, Princeton Waitlisted: Carnegie Mellon Accepted: Rice, UT Austin T____T didn't get into any reaches, but then again I wasn't particularly hard-working during the admissions process, so I probably deserved it. Rice CSL here I come hahaha ^_^v Congrats to everyone who got in where they wanted! | ||

I take it you're in California? It might be where you're from. If you're from California like Babel guessed you're going to have an easier time getting into UCs than out of states (like Michigan). Supposedly Berkley's a bitch to get into if you're out of state, harder than Stanford. | ||

So many other people with like 2200 - 2300 sat got denied, dunno why its so hard to get in this year. Because you are competing against a horde of Asians with perfect SAT and all the other standardized tests you can name. I feel, more and more, SAT is becoming an idiot bar. It's really your ECs and SOPs that pull you through. And of course, the fact that more and more people apply to UG and graduate schools don't work in your favour either. | ||
