UCs UCB - Waiting...(probably denied) UCD - Waiting UCSD - Denied (I heard they used some ridiculous point based system to determine whether or not you got in) UCSB - Waiting Da rest (all of them are pretty averageish schools, so not really surprising I was accepted into most) UofArizona - Accepted Central WA Univ - Accepted Whitworth Univ - Accepted St. Mary's Coll - Accepted Occidental Coll - Waiting (probably denied since I didn't really try on the application) SDSU - Accepted Reason for strange selection of schools is that I'm majoring in technical theatre + looking for decentish liberal arts schools. GPA: 3.7 Weighted SAT/ACT: 1930/33 Extracurricular: Theatre...and pretty much only theatre lol Not much, but I hope my essays can be my saving merits for the UCs. I wrote about how I was originally planning to do the whole generic Asian route of studying science or whatever but then was introduced to theatre my junior year and fell in love with it. I've been one of the hardest working techies in our schools theatre program since the day I started D: | ||

Luckily my goal was Irvine, I have no interest in SD because I am a failure at all science related courses, and UCLA seemed a bit far fetched for my resume. The average GPA for UCSD applicants this year was 4.04 according to my rejection letter, and I think it was about 3000 acceptances to 48000 applicants. | ||

Undergrad- applied for engineering Georgia Tech: Accepted in early decision Virginia Tech: Hwaiting (I assume I'm getting accepted though) MIT: waitlisted (deferred from early decision, then waitlisted) 4.480 weighted GPA (my school has A+ on the scale so it's slightly inflated more than other schools with a 4.0 scale) Class rank: 1/332 2180 SAT (math 790) 790 math II 760 chemistry 740 U.S. history 4 AP exams already taken- 5s on World History, U.S. History, Calc BC, and Chemistry 4 APs my senior year (AP physics is my math/science one; I'm also in multivariable) athletics: did cross country all 4 years (captain senior year), soccer 1 year, track 3 years clubs- I have plenty of clubs, but in reality the clubs didn't really do anything; looks good enough on application though competition clubs- Academic team 3 years (captain junior and senior year) community service- not much; minimal amounts 0 jobs 0 club leadership I was a bit bummed about MIT; I expected to get waitlisted, but I was more bummed when someone else from my school got in (who is a good student yes, but MIT strikes me as little more than taking "good" student). I'd say it's about 98% Georgia Tech for me. | ||

If not, GT's school a great school nonetheless, just a tad more expensive. PS: Fuck Emory. Hope is useless for private schools, and Emory's financial aid blows. | ||

. It was the very first school I looked at and applied to.I'm out of state, but I applied for nuclear engineering and that can get out-of-state tuition waved since the major is so rare and no schools in my state offer it. But even if I don't stick with nuclear engineering, GT is a fantastic engineering school. Money isn't really an issue for my family. | ||

University of Texas at Austin - Accepted Liberal Arts Honors Program - Accepted 3.6 GPA (unweighted pretty sure) Top 10% of class 1940 SAT 630 Critical Reading 720 Math 590 Writing Yeah, only applied to one school haha. Applying is pretty expensive. Plus my girlfriend is already going there and I get automatic acceptance by being top 10% in-state. FAFSA isn't giving me anything, so that kinda sucks. Gotta hit up some more scholarships. | ||

Took a few classes over at Tech during my senior year of High School and have visited friends there on numerous occasions. Atmosphere is great and it's hella good for Engineering. You better get to love your Tech sports and the Ramblin Wreck. Good stuff. =D Although I have heard from numerous people that Tech is quite hard. Pretty high dropout rate as well. But it's to be expected. | ||
