asu is t50 for cs

#

lol

#

how isn’t it

zenith rock
#

T50 is whatever you think it is!

tame harbor
#

do you go to asu

zenith rock
#

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

tame harbor
#

LMAO

#

never judge off of acceptance rates

ebon orbit
#

harvard ranks number 20 for cs and they have a >4% acceptance rate

coarse current
#

uiuc acceptance rate is like 60% but their cs is t5

ebon orbit
#

with a 6.7% rate

tame harbor
#

university of arizona just captured the first picture of a black hole and has a t10 space science program with heavy merit scholarships and their honors dorms are basically apartments, it’s phenomenal

their acceptance rate? 85%

#

don’t judge based off of acceptance rates

coarse current
#

high acceptance rate =! bad program

drifting warren
#

It’s all subjective

tame harbor
#

no, literally NASA. UofA is the forefront of planetary sciences, space optics, and space science research

also UofA isn’t ASU

drifting warren
#

Kind of

coarse current
#

it’s also based on fit as well

drifting warren
#

^^

tame harbor
#

UofA has a massive mirror lab under their football field

tame harbor
drifting warren
#

It’s a great school tbh

tame harbor
#

their grad program acceptance rate for astrophysics is 7%

drifting warren
#

Beautiful location and campus

tame harbor
#

they only accept 20-30 per yr for astronomy undergrad

#

but yk 85% acceptance rate

coarse current
#

for example MIT has a goated CS program but i would turn it down for a lower ranked program because i hate the culture at MIT

tame harbor
#

y’all miss out on good schools by judging by acceptance rates

#

prestige ≠ acceptance rate

tame harbor

lol

Fit>>>>

sorry chip

Also it just fits me

tame harbor
ebon orbit
#

what is the cs rate

coarse current
#

like i go to a competitive high school i don’t want that experience in college

drifting warren
#

They admit by school! Not major

#

Just saying.

#

Lol

coarse current
#

but unless cost and fit isn’t an issue i doubt someone would turn down harvard over their state school

tame harbor
#

that’s true

#

harvard’s culture is kinda weird but the classes are p inflated

coarse current
#

yea gpas are inflated hella

tame harbor
#

one of the reasons it’s so good for grad and med school

#

i cant switch cuz i eaed

tame harbor
#

um not sure

languid escarp
#

i think if i get deferred i can switch to ed2

obsidian steeple
#

they get a majority of their class from ed and then like the last 25% from ea and rd

tame harbor
#

i don’t want to switch to ed2 because i’d probably get in

#

i forgot to select finaid

#

*submit

coarse current
#

you still can

tame harbor
#

and i said i was fine with global scholars

#

😭

coarse current
#

unless you didn’t indicate it in ur app

tame harbor
#

i also indicated i was a national scholar

coarse current
tame harbor
#

so they should give me money for that

chrome tide
#

They still assign you to the international study even if you said no I think

obsidian steeple
#

i dont know how it works but you could possibly let them know you would not like to be considered for global scholars things

tame harbor
#

wait so if i said no

#

and they put me in global scholars

#

let’s say i switched to ed2

#

would they break the contract for me

chrome tide
#

Wait that's a good question actually

coarse current
chrome tide
#

If you ed2 Northeastern and said no, can they not put you in Global Scholar?

tame harbor
#

doesn’t like almost nobody get in boston campus

coarse current
obsidian steeple
tame harbor
#

wouldn’t it make more sense to put ed2 no nu.in or global scholar

#

and then they’d break the contract

coarse current
tame harbor
#

and put you in them anyway

coarse current
#

apply ed2 saying you want boston campus

tame harbor
#

i think i put that as my first choice

coarse current
#

if u don’t get in boston campus the contract is broken

tame harbor
#

let me check

lean zephyr
#

r they out

tame harbor
#

do you think it would be a good idea to switch to ed2 knowing i probably wont get in boston

#

and have them break the contract for me?

coarse current
obsidian steeple
#

id say ed2 if u really want to go

coarse current
#

the contract is automatically broken if you get into nuin/goofball scholars scholars

obsidian steeple
#

do have any other top picks youre applying too?

tame harbor
#

yeah

#

do you think i’d get in boston with my stats

IMO think of it this way: you got excellent grades by studying a ton and working hard. you put yourself out there and impacted your community, bettered yourself and others, and so so much more. whether your top schools will care i obviously can't tell you, but you are more than a yes/no to an institution and your application reflects that! you will do amazing things because you've already done amazing things; you know how to apply yourself :) don't stress too much (easier said than done i know)

I mean just think about it. Everything that is important to you and all of those memories that you have are just electrical signals locked up in a skull which is most definitely not impenetrable.

this is going to sound weird but, my school is so ungodly uncompetitive and in such an underfunded (75% poverty rate) area that’s it’s unheard of to relatively have anyone with near my ecs applying

i feel like at colleges where i can’t incorporate them into an essay, provide a secondary LOR, or some sort of proof they exist, i get sussed out and probably rejected just for that

languid escarp

Can be advantageous

my highschool is not good whatsoever, and my counselor told me it will hurt me in admissions

but stay positive

frail mural
tame harbor
#

at schools where I can submit 3 LORs, I can submit a LOR from the director of my state’s higher ed dept to verify my research + a supplemental letter from SSP verifying that

and i can talk about my work in essays and stuff, but if i don’t get the chance to do so, it kinda just kills me because my hs isn’t known and not as credible for that reason

the whole narrative they strung together for me is “she is extremely smart, and does so much shit that we don’t know how she balances it but she does it so well”

a lot go to public schools in the south (utk, clemson, uofsc, etc.)

but it’s not like they’re applying for super competitive programs tho

tame harbor

but idk i feel like it makes my stuff look really not that credible

coarse current
#

most seniors only take precalc😭😭

obsidian steeple
#

thats why i dont like how theyre portraying wokism to be so helpful meanwhile colleges still follow a system where they evaluate the student via highschool's reputation for colleges as well, it harms a lot of top students in admissions processes. At most they need to get rid of that ideal amongst highschools in relation to a students application

tame harbor
#

2 juniors just got recruited by villanova tho which is insane

frail mural
#

I think what’s so hard for a lot of burnout smart kids (like all of us) to understand is that everyone has such amazing stats. Getting rejected doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough, it just means the school knows you’ll excel somewhere else. I think that if someone is rejected/deferred it happened for a reason so that they can excel in another educational environment. Personality plays such a huge role in college admissions and that isn’t highlighted enough.
