Why C? Apart from the fact the school isn't the best...

UChicago doesn't have an engineering department, lulz.

Oh lul. Didn't even consider applying, so wasn't on the radar.

Best of luck to all applicants though

Haha, yeah. Well, UChicago's CS department isn't the best either, tbf, so you're not missing much on that front ... it's really theoretical, who would've thunk it? It is rather cozy given how small it is, though, and you get a lot of individual attention from the profs. Just not really worth it for the price tag unless you get crazy aid/scholarships or your parents have enough money ... the neighboring UIC has a better CS department, imo.

Grats to everyone on acceptance, btw. Also, CAPSLOCKLOL, GTech's a ballin' school. (What engineering?)

I'd be going for a business undergrad at UW or Wash U but its looking like Wash U is the most realistic for me at this point.

I made a typo. UIC, University of Illinois in Chicago. Good CS department.

GTech's amazing, esp. for in-state students. It used to be an even better opportunity before they started cutting the Hope scholarship down a bit. ;;

Also, MalebrancheSC, WashU's a great school. It's got very good student life quality too, and the city's gorgeous and SPACIOUS. When I visited I was like, omfg, they have PARKING LOTS, which I'd been missing in Chicago for a while now. The campus food is also pretty good there too from what I've experienced of it. (On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd put it at roughly a 7.)

Haha that's what I noticed when I was looking into it, food was rated an A+ on the college prowler site. I'm excited that I got in, but my family is a little worried on the financials. Since I'm in-state, UW is like half the cost per year. We can afford it, but I'm not sure I can justify delaying my father's retirement haha. I'm planning on visiting before I make my mind up though. Just would be nice to see a different part of the country (UW is about 25 minutes from my house).

For MIT at least: Don't focus too hard on showing off the extent of your technical knowledge or research, and don't focus too hard on breaking out of the box. Do your best to make yourself seem like a human who'd be interesting to talk to and get to know. You'll have more than enough opportunity to do that on the MIT app due to its structure.

Accepted: University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School). Rejected from the Jerome Fisher program though I'll probably try transfer in after my first year.

Was an ED so I didn't apply anywhere else (except UC Berkeley, which I had to retract). I'm interested in Finance/Business etc...

If I didn't get in I would've attempted to get into Princeton for their ORFE program or just done CS at CMU.

Eh, you want to show that you're sort of a nerd/geek on the app too, but you want to make it seem very interesting and cool.

One of the few things you should almost definitely write about if you've done it: cool stuff you've built. (I hope this is accurate, since I'm not an engineer, but that seems to be what MIT likes to show off about!)

Try to stay away from writing about stuff that lots of people do. Make yourself seem special!

... and good luck to those waiting for decisions ^^

Do you have to pay for each University you apply to in the United States? I had to pay a fee of 130$ for the University of Waterloo and cringe at the thought of the nine or so fees it appears other in this thread may have needed to pay. Thankfully I was admitted there for a Major in Math/FARM

I think between $75-100 each for a common app school. Same amount for most of the places I was considering applying to. After that it's sending SAT/ACT scores and all that extra stuff.

It's similar to the OUAC system, but you don't start with 3 freebies after the initial fee (pay per), and it's more expensive.

First is SAT and SATII's, make sure those are really good-- I would recommend over 2300/ 700, but people often get in with less.

Humanize yourself. Convey your passion in a certain area, and link to how it relates to your major and the school. Write in a somewhat informal style-- its not a research paper, its a personal statement, but use big words that you are truly comfortable with, not ones you pick out of a thesaurus. Always keep in mind who your audience is-- two or three people who will read probably ~30K of these, so make it brief as possible, make it stand out, make it interesting. I could give a billion tips on writing college essays, but those are the basics.

Most Common App schools ran for around 65-75 bucks, though I remember Stanford was exceptionally expensive ($95). Plus, you had to send in SAT scores and AP's.

USC decisions were just mailed out a couple days ago so if any of you were admitted and have questions about the school, feel free to PM me. i was a bio and korean double major, so if there are any science nerds out there i can definitely answer more specific questions regarding sciences at the university.
