I only know 1 other person applying this year and I'm the only one applying for cs
My school only has 180 people per grade and most end up at cunys with around 15 or so going to t50s and 5 or so to t20 (1 HYP a year)

wondering if that's cuz of test optional.
smoky shore
Bro test optional is a scam
Idk, feels to me like its just
"screw standartization, whoever has a school that caps the most for they student will get them in test optional" type shit
maybe its just me being influenced by our educational system
But here aint nobody got any test optional nonsense
Just a flat cutoff, either you are good enough or you aren't
ember obsidian
wondering if that's cuz of test optional.
no why would it have anything to do with test optional
smoky shore

a lot of colleges (including ivies) only consider ur test scores when evaluating applicants
there are more important factors in play than sat/act scores
smoky shore
- rigor (which is subjective)
- ECS (which many people cap about)

Thats good on ya
That's just fucked ngl
ember obsidian
yeah

I really dislike the fact that "course rigor" is barely considered when viewing people from the same system bruh
Like
Say you have two students taking the IB
Student A took the hardest subjects they could - they going craaaaazy
Higher level physics
Higher level mathematical analysis (which goes up to calc 3 I kid you not)
Higher level chemistry
Two languages and economics for their standard levels
They ended up scoring a 39/45
ember obsidian
I really dislike the fact that "course rigor" is barely considered when viewing ...
In what college is it not important

And then you have the kid that took this:
HL world history
HL Geography
HL B language (which is a second language course that a native speaker can cheat into)
SL maths
SL lang A
And SL bio
ember obsidian
For pretty much all top colleges itās important

Scores a 44
ember obsidian
What is sl
smoky shore
Standard level
Ez subjects
HL assumes university level content
SL is just normal hs course
A bit harder cuz IB
Student B gets invited to hella schools with scholarships
Student A gets fucked over
Despite student A working his ass off throughout DP and student B just... Cruising.

Genuinely makes me angry lol

every counselor i meet seem to speak highly of it

uhh im pretty sure its only there to make sure you didn't grind TOEFL/IELTS and actually are competent in english

I only know they waitlist like 50% of the RD pool and barely take anyone

even for SCS, they have a pretty consistent 40-50% yield with a 6-7% acceptance rate (This already accounts for the yield). Would be insane to keep half on waitlist

I checked multiple times as well as another email account that I used to register my ACT, but alas there was nothing
I suspect my application has been moved to RD actually because they took too long to process the ACT scores

idk why it wouldnt show in the portal though
i mean, if you were moved thatd be really unfortunate
but at least you wont be bound by ed when you get in
so thats the plus side i guess?

interesting. I just assumed more applicants was because of students who may not think they're competitive using test optional to take a shot. Which still could be true, but the higher yield rate definitely drives lower acceptance rates. Probably both.

to what
I'm test optional for cit and my friend is test optional for scs lol
shits kinda wack, lots of y'all have better stats than i had
i took the sat once in march of junior year and got a 1500 which i didnt submit
got sent to the hospital for a year +- 3 months
my best ecs were president of our schools engineering club, team captain of the robotics team, and i was applying for a patent
only did english class in my senior year as i was in the hospital and it was rhe only class i needed to take to graduate, so my gpa is wack
but it was like 3.9
my coursework was also kinda fucked as well, only finished 2 aps but i did the work for 6 total ap classes
but like i was doing multivariable and our schools version of DSA
but its so wack, ive seen so many kids whove done multivariable as a junior here its kinda wild
grave edge
You went test optional with a 1500?

You went test optional with a 1500?
for SCS it kinda makes sense

test optional for college of engineering, college counselor said its a borderline score, and i had a very good reason not to have an SAT + all my other stats were much better

I uh am not 100% sure thats true
I think IS has a higher acceptance rate just because its less well known not that its less competitive
icy egret
I think IS has a higher acceptance rate just because its less well known not tha...
I think that means itās less competitive
Just not necessarily that the standards are lower
nocturne storm
I think that means itās less competitive
I suppose it depends how you define competitive. Like to me a 10% acceptance rate where the mean SAT score is 900 is less competitive than a 30% acceptance rate with a mean SAT score of 1590 (considering SAT scores only as the admission factor for example)
icy egret
Hmmm ic
I would still think scs is more competitive
even still just based on sat score and stuff
crude barn
scs is def more competitive for the average candidate but no one is the average candidate

I think IS has a higher acceptance rate just because its less well known not tha...
nah, that doesn't lead to a 6% vs 65% acceptance rate lmao

Getting deferred means you are good enough for them they just didnāt accept you
