princeton takes like 1/6 of their incoming class from nj

#

or they did last year

#

240 something out of 1500

#

meanwhile... 10 from dc.

unkempt widget
#

according to their map

tawdry zodiac
#

well ca is massive so it makes sense

unkempt widget
#

yep

#

which means it's actually pretty competitive.

tawdry zodiac
#

but nj is like 10x the size of dc but has 20x as many admits

unkempt widget
#

๐Ÿ’€ a lot of rich ppl here.

tawdry zodiac
#

or acceptances i guess

#

admits could look differently

#

could just be a lot of nj kids wan to go (or are forced to go) to the ivy closes to them

fossil ermine
#

i love UT but itโ€™s so hot all the time

tawdry zodiac
#

UT is a great state school

#

some of the majors are really competitive though

zenith quarry
#

texas depends i think, houston when i went was super humid

fossil ermine
#

cs is brutal

#

anywhere but especially UT

tawdry zodiac
#

yep

#

cs is brutal at umd as well

#

but umd doesn't have like the guaranteed admit program

hollow ginkgo
tawdry zodiac
#

honestly i would be happy at umd i think

#

id be a little disappointed cause i felt like i worked hard enough in hs to make it to an ivy, but umd is a great school

#

college park is nice, social scene is fun, it's not too far from dc, it's pretty great for what i want to study

hollow ginkgo
#

id be happy bc of how little i have to pay

tawdry zodiac
#

yeah i get a tuition assistance thing for other state schools since dc doesn't have one but it is not close to the in-state tuition still

#

hopefully i would get some merit aid at umd though? maybe? idk

#

dc is right in between two states with amazing state schools and our state school is a community college ๐Ÿ˜ญ

hollow ginkgo
#

thats so unlucky

#

are there benefits for dc residents for like georgetown

tawdry zodiac
#

yes actually but its like

#

5k a year

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

and hbcus like howard

#

gw gives a lot of merit-based scholarships to dc residents though

spiral phoenix
tawdry zodiac
#

we get 15k/yr at any state school or 5k/yr at any private school in dc/any hbcu

spiral phoenix
# spiral phoenix for me it is ball state

they told me "TODAY IS THE DEADLINE FOR FAST APP" then 1 hour before deadline said the same thing again, then after dealdine they said we have decided to extend your fast app deadline

#

like leave me alone already

tawdry zodiac
#

uchicago sends me so much shit

#

1 - i am not applying 2 - i would never get in

#

they just want to lower their acceptance rate so bad

spiral phoenix
tawdry zodiac
#

dude literally i thought about applying but the essay turned me off so much

#

i am not writing that shit

#

they take like 1% of people RD anyways

#

they fill like 70% of their class from ed and edii it's so fake

lone locust
#

have any of your guys fafsas been received yet? and if yes, then when?

#

dang mine was received 12/09 but i filled out the fafsa and pfaa on the first days they were available

#

yea ik that but i was thinking like

#

they wouldnt use financial stuff for anyone they dont admit

#

they would only start processing the aid package for ppl that are admitted

#

idk

#

portal astrology things LMFAO

#

but i did see this on the harvard megathread

#

obv theyre different schools

#

but most schools prob operate similarly for efficiency of time

unkempt widget
#

idk ๐Ÿ˜ญ im not doing aidโ€ฆ

zenith quarry
#

i think ur overcalculating it

lone locust
#

lmfao

zenith quarry
#

the financial aid and admissions offices are different

#

and since pton has a policy of any EFC less than <$100k is full aid, it already knocks out a lot of work

unkempt widget
#

wut

#

yeah ๐Ÿ˜ญ but aid just wouldnt apply to my family

lone locust
#

damn rich flex

unkempt widget

This family I know they probably paid over 100k in college counseling for their kids itโ€™s insane

they had like all their ECs mapped and shot freshman year

wtf

tawdry zodiac
#

the older son currently goes to Princeton so I guess it worked

Hopefully I can get in spending $0 on college counseling

so I can instead spend that money on the most expensive school in the world

yessirrr

there is a consensus that REA does not really help unhooked

why does princeton need recruited athletes anyways
