(Early Decision means if you get accepted you have to go unless you can't afford it, while Early Action means you apply early but can decide not to. Also, you can generally only apply early to one place.) I know, I just find it unbelievable that someone admitted and attending there would call it ED instead of Restrictive Early Action or at least Early Action. | ||

UC Berkeley UC Los Angeles Cornell Princeton U. Penn Stanford Harvard MIT Accepted- Both UCs Cornell U. Penn MIT Rejected- Princeton Waitlisted (guess I'm still a bit "typical" for an Asian... Could care less at this point when MIT accepted)- Stanford Harvard 4.1 GPA, 2310 SAT, 35 ACT, 12 APs never scored less than 4s which were few, and the rest are 5s. Asian. Deviated from super typical Asian activities like piano and martial arts and worked on my typing speed (144 WPM peak so far) instead, and increase breadth of programming languages (learned Google API recently). Chess nerd on free time. Berkeley or MIT - Still have 2 months to reply with decision. I'm leaning towards Berkeley for convenience, and MIT for a bigger challenge (but Cal is among the top engineering schools too so can't complain at all). | ||

In Sweden we apply for universities this period (until 16th of April) and then get denied/accepted (?) in the summer. I guess we have different months as semesters. However I'm gonna go either for electrical engineering or biomedical engineering at LTH or KTH here in Sweden. | ||

Ahem In that case I'm glad I chose Muir as my first choice. My poor friends who chose Revelle seem like they're going to have a tough time, or at least tough*er*. | ||

That's part of why I didn't choose Berkeley (that, and out-of-state tuition being a complete bitch). Did you not apply to Caltech? | ||

Ohio State University University of Michigan Carnegie Mellon University Johns Hopkins University (but rejected from biomedical engineering) UC Berkeley University of Pennsylvania Waitlisted: University of Chicago Case Western Reserve University Rejected: Cornell Princeton Stanford MIT Caltech Major: Applied in Engineering (biomed or bio depending) Pretty much leaning towards UPenn. The only other school I'm kinda considering is UC Berkeley, but even if I get the Leadership Award scholarship, tuition there will be expensive, and I don't see a reason to prefer Berkeley over UPenn either. | ||
