It must be tempting to go to a school like Rutgers for essentially nothing, especially considering how expensive college is nowadays. I don't know what your intended major is and if you plan on going on to do some kind of graduate work, but if you do having almost no debt undergraduate would be amazing. That's my plan! I'm majoring in comp sci, and shooting for a master degree. So hopefully I'll be able to put some money away for future grad school loans over the next four years, find an internship of some sort, and see what happens And I'll try my best to opt for Brett. I'll get as many of my friends to do it as I can as well. | ||

I will contribute! Canadian studying in America (SoCal), applying as international to U.S. schools. I am Southeast Asian ethnicity. Not applying for financial aid so I won't be screwed that much for applying as international. I have actually relatively very low interest in which college I go to, so I'm pretty happy with whatever I get into. Applying into some sort of biology / biological engineering / biochem for all of them. Applied to: Stanford REA, Cal Berkeley, UCLA, Pomona College, Rice, WUSTL, Brown, Columbia, McGill. Accepted: McGill, UCLA Rejected: Stanford, Pomona, Brown, Columbia. Waitlisted: WUSTL, Rice, Cal. Edit: Will most likely attend UCLA unless waitlists accept me! Stats: + Show Spoiler + International Baccalaureate Diploma Candidate SAT: 2250 (740CR/770M/740W), only taken once. Did not take ACT. SAT2: 800Math2, 790BioE, 800Chem AP: 5Bio, 5Chem, 5CalcAB, 5Psych IB: 6ChemSL, 5HistSL GPA: 3.88 (9-11), 3.91 (10-11), 4.4 (9-11 weighted) Ranked top 7%, class size ~800, moderately competitive school. EC: + Show Spoiler + Varsity Football Captain, Hall of Fame + Ironman Award, Scholar Athlete. Varsity 3 years, Frosh 1 year. Varsity Track and Field Captain, Scholar Athlete. Varsity 2 years, F/S 1 year. NHS Cabinet. 2 years. Math Club, German Club, etc. 200+ hrs volunteering at temple / chinese school. Dragonboat team, won a few random medals and stuff. No internship, no job. Didn't really have time with sports. Uhh main essay and uc essay were pretty alright I think. Most supplement essays were pretty bad or alright because I didn't really put much effort into them. | ||

if I can't get into my state school that doesn't bode well for most non-safeties on my list. | ||

I wouldn't give up, though. PhD programs are usually small (this one is, right?) so just one person deciding not to enroll might be enough to bump you in. Meanwhile, UG waitlists are nothing more than empty consolation prizes that are even more of a lottery than UG admission in general. | ||

Edit: phones are hard I love this school, my grand parents met here :D But as like a kinda general question, whats with IOEasy? I come from math so I didn't pick up this prejudice and frankly I'm kinda surprised. Even undergraduate OR is some somewhat hard stuff, stochastic processes and linear/integer/convex optimization are like real math classes >.> | ||
