(its also nearly impossible to have a hook that you develop in your last year, they like to see consistency) sorry ahh don't worry too much about your undergrad school anyhow, as long as you work hard you can basically make it from anywhere this also goes for all people that will still be applying to colleges in future years, but honestly high standardized test scores (and even GPA to a lesser extent) alone aren't going to get you accepted, its more of a check if you don't meet their imaginary minimum you'll have to be a lot stronger in your "hook" and whatever makes you special | ||

Had a few people die here and there and at that point in my life, I was feeling suicidal + didn't give a shit about school. Now that's all changed and I'm pissed off at myself for being so fucking weak. O well, a community college isn't that bad, but man what a fucking bitch, but let's say hypothetically, I can somehow create something revolutionary to the world, like urine powered cars or fetuses as energy supplements for the masses? MIT better fucking let me in if I manage to craft an idea like that, and I'll even post the blue print on this forum here just to prove to you all I'm not joking about it at all...once I layout what kind of mechanisms would support such a schematic ROFL, god have fucking pity on me.. please write those things in the "extrenuous circumstances" box that they provide. Have your counselor (no not psychological, but your college counselor =P) write that too, that you went thru some very difficult times, but that your current motivation and creative thoughts are promising. Also, I dont know what grade you are in (sry you may have mentioned it) but try your hardest to get straight A's from here on out. Then you have something to back you up when you say that I was going thru tough shit, but look, i'm putting myself together now. (even first semester senior year mid-term grades count for something if you have your college-counselor write about it) | ||

Got into: MIT Harvard Yale Princeton UPenn Cornell UC Berk UCLA Rejected: Stanford. My explanation is that I'm from the Bay Area and Stanford already takes too many people from the magnet schools in NorCal. To juniors who are interested in applying to the selective schools, consider what interests you and do something- create something, whether a project, and event, an organization this summer that highlights your initiative and talent. *Currently freshman at MIT. | ||

Carnegie Melon University (one of the best schools in computer science) Backup - Purdue Univirsity (I live in Indiana and can scholarship, so I'd end up paying like <= $5000 per year) My parents say that if I don't get a ton of scholarship money, they won't send be to CMU. It costs about as much as MIT, but it's only ranked about 24th, despite its computer science department pretty much rivaling MITs. I like Stanford because it's in the heart of Silicon Valley in sunny California. It's also a tiny bit easier to get into than MIT. I was born in Boston though, and I lived there for about 8 years. I'll be majoring in Computer Science. I'll either get a double major or minor in Electrical Engineering as well. Yes, I'm Chinese. No offense, but your parents are misinformed. CMU's CS department >> all other CS anywhere. They are the ONLY school with a dedicated school of computer science, separate from the engineering school. Carnegie Mellon is THE place to go if you are serious about computer science, especially cutting edge AI type stuff I think. edit; well okay, MIT aint shabby either =P | ||
