I stayed at Cornell during the fall because of the hurricane. And honestly this is just from my experience, but it was miserable because of A. the weather, B. had to walk like 2 miles to theta drug to pick up bud from High Rise 5, C. Frat parties were lame and ended at like 1. D. There was nothing in Ithaca except for the mall. E. Had to walk sooooooo far to central campus when there were no buses. And uphill back. But overall it wasn't that bad and I did get to meet a lot of chill people. But it's just one of those schools that if you don't try to meet people then no one will come to you because it's so damn big. And it was really hard to keep in touch with friends for the same reason. And about the drinking...................................................... I was playing beer pong in one of the lounges and somehow an RA out of nowhere just busts in and made us dump two 36 packs out. I go to tulane and on a normal night, there are kegs out on the porches of every frat house on the same street. If you want to settle down and get work done and be really smart go to cornell. If you want to have more than a little bit of fun in sacrifice of academics go somewhere else. | ||

I got into some bigger name schools, but staying in Delaware for college was a great choice. At Delaware the competition just isn't as high. Smoking the curve and getting good grades is a lot easier than at MIT or stanford or any other ivy league level school and if you work hard, do research, get to know profs, you'll do just as well with regards to internships / jobs / grad school. oh, university of delaware, chemical engineering, third year there's also this one http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=28795 but it's nice to get new updates | ||

Thanks don't get too caught up with that. I think 50% of it is luck. For example maybe this school got too many latino applicants this year and wants to cut down or maybe they got two applicants that have similar "stats" but one is good at chem, the other math, and the school wants more chem majors. GPA can be weighed/unweighed, from a prep school/private day school/public school/school for the gifted. SAT score does count a good amount. Extra-curricular can vary. | ||

Yea, I definitely love Austin. So many of my friends say how much they wanna get away, but I don't really want to. I got into the Honors program at UT called "Plan II" as well so I would be doing that if I stayed. Of course, money is a problem, and financial aid is not easy to come by for someone like me (I would classify myself as "upper middle class," meaning that it's a massive strain to go to an Ivy without financial aid but not impossible; therefore: no financial aid). I've honestly had my fair share of academic competition at my school as well, and though my friend think I'm crazy for considering UT when I've gotten into schools like CalTech and M.I.T. I'd rather have a more relaxed atmosphere, I think. I'll go ahead and put those stats Mini asked: GPA: 4.2, rank # 32 due to my school being a "magnet" school and too competitive for my taste SAT: 2400 (this is not so helpful as you might think, most of the very competitive colleges hardly even care if you make perfect score, as long as it's like 2200+ they are all the same) Extracurriculars: Piano for 12 years, cello for 6. Tennis for like 7 years, crew for 3 years, got a couple medals at state and regionals. That's about it though. And National Honor Society (which is a joke) | ||

At least for UC's, if you have solid GPA 3.9+, 1500+, an average essay I don't think you will get rejected regardless of extracuriculars, race, etc. As for me GPA: 4.3-4.4 weighted, #6 out of class of 300 SAT: 1520 Extracurriculars: None---I almost, ALMOST, put starcraft as a hobby in my essays....wait I did 4 years of badminton, but I don't think people what that is...hahaha jk PS I wrote my essays 2 hours before it was due...so I know it was crappy...I was the kinda guy that submitted my apps at 11:30 november 30? got accepted by all UC's...no privates...private schools want more rounded people, unlike me | ||
