For those top students who are disappointed by rejections and probably experiencing academic "failure" for the first time, just keep a few things in mind:
1. Assuming you applied smartly (ie not just HYPSM) you will likely gain admittance to one of the top universities in the country.
2. Your college doesn't define you, it's what you make out of your opportunities, and believe me they are endless at any top school.
3. Even if you feel like you're "settling" by going to a "lesser" school than whatever your dream school was, chances are that you'll find a ton of people at that school that are more driven, more talented, and more intelligent than you. Don't underestimate the caliber of students at any of the top schools or else you'll suddenly find yourself an average or below average student.
4. Once you decide on a school to attend, forget about the rejections or other schools you turned down. Don't wallow in misery and bitterness that you aren't attending your dream school. If you give your school a fair chance, you'll probably end up loving wherever you attend. |

Just out of interest, what college at Cambridge? My offer is from Girton College, and yeah, I'm rather afraid of STEP. Jesus College. Hope to see you there aha =). Incidentally, what is your offer? Mine is 1,1 in STEP 2 and 3. My offer is AAA in any subjects, and then the normal 1,1 in STEP II, III, so similar to yours. How is your STEP prep going? I've been trying to do a couple of questions a week so far, but I think I should "step" it up soon. Some of the questions are really neat and interesting to do, but then I find there are others which just seem quite impossible at first glance.
Yeah I also need A* in Further Maths and AA in Chem/Phys, which was pretty harsh I thought aha, but I'm hoping that should be ok. As far as STEP goes, I've been pretty inconsistent, though I'd say on average I get through around 4 questions a week, thinking I should probably put a bit more effort in soon as well. I'm the same in as much that some questions I can't see a way in but sometimes if I leave the question and come back to it later it seems more accessible.

It's a shame that there aren't more legitimate posts here and a lot of pessimists trying to rain on everybody's parades. We worked 4 years for this, it's a tradition on TL, and I'm sure everybody likes to get a little reward for their hard work. Stats: Rank: Um.. our school (International Academy Bloomfield Hills) doesn't rank students o.o. But it is the 5th best public school in the US, #1 open enrollment high school, #1 International Baccalaureate school in the US, has been ranked #1 public high school in the US before. Other than that I guess I take 8 classes, 6 taught at the IB HL level ... with an average of 3-4 hours a day (and a bit more depending on how much you like to study) GPA: 3.7 / 4.06 weighted (I've screwed up a lot of times in my high school career but I try my best at least) Subject Tests: 680 World History, 680 Math 2 (kinda didn't study for both but that's my fault) ACT: 33 / 34 superscore Extra-Curriculars: President of Asian Student Association, FIRST Robotics Team 469, NHS, and Peer Corps (mentors incoming freshmen and gets them accustomed) Awards: 2011 2nd place at the FRC (FIRST robotics competition) Detroit Regional, 2011 1st at FRC Troy Regional, and 2nd at World Championships Galileo Division (Losing out to the World Champion Team that year 2-1, Teams 254 and 111) 2012 1st at Waterford, Detroit, Troy, and Michigan State Championship, 2013 (so far) 1st at Detroit Regionals) Hooks: 15-25 hours a week at Robotics, and our high school is really hard I guess... Schools: University of Michigan (deferred and then accepted  , probably where I am going so PM me if you go there or were accepted too!), Kettering University ($67,500 scholarship), Michigan State University Waiting (Probably Rejections): Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Yale-NUS, uPenn, Stanford Waiting: Kenyon College (I love History, like a lot lol) Rejected: Columbia (The interview went on for an hour and a half but it wasn't meant to be) Early Decision, uChicago (I wrote a bad essay but it was to get it done for my parents) Other stuff: I'm an Asian male, and ummm that's about it Current student at Umich. You should totally come here. I don't exactly know what you want to do, but we have a ton of really strong programs and the fact that the school is so large means that there is a ton of money floating around for even smaller programs. Short of Ivy league schools with huge endowments we have some of the most money and other resources available to do whatever it is you do best. EDIT: can't type ummm does UM have a SC2 team, group? I like watching CSL matches from time to time
We do have a CSL team that I am technically on (or at least was last season). Generally they look for plat+ (mostly diamond) players for the matches so as a silver player I didn't actually play in any matches. I do wish there were more times when the team would meet and do stuff (like watch SC2) together since I've never actually seen any of the people on the team. In short, yes we have one, but I think it would be nice if it did more than just straight competition.
Also you should come for a visit if you haven't already. Seeing the campus itself is something else.

No! Believe me, I'm aware that being white in the US > other races. I just meant from a college admissions stand point. I believe i would have a better chance at being admitted to some of these if I were hispanic or black. I'm not complaining, i have no problem with affirmative action and whatnot.

Yet, if I read this thread, I really don't feel like the 'muricans should be "jelly", their university screening process seems much more thorough and personal and their elite-colleges have global renown.
I don't think you have those high tuition fees if you're not at some Ivy League college, I suppose standard colleges are, like most European ones, complete free.

Only Asians really get shafted...
If you want to put it in video game terms, Asian is like a x0.7 multiplier, white is a x1.0 multiplier and being a URM is a x1.2 multiplier (arbitrary numbers, but you get the idea). Apparently its so bad that a lot of Asians are choosing not to put down their ethnicity on applications-- I remember reading an article about it awhile back.
Jewish people also are pretty over-represented in higher education.

You have no idea. Being a while MALE also hurts some. They get shafted almost as much as asians.
I even remember reading an article about schools looking to accept students who didn't play musical instruments dominated by the asian population like piano and stuff. Schools are on a misguided mission to artificially create environments with super diversity.

Truth has spoken but then again, we are all aware of this.
edit: You can't have diversity when your demographics will be 75% Asian.
To the poster below, plenty of articles and documents stating that issue.

In Italy everything is different: you can join any university you want but medicine where you have to take an exam.
Furthermore, the costs are really cheaper here, a good University costs only 1000$ per year.
But i still prefer the American sistem, and i hope i'll be able to take a master in the US.
