Help me in making my college list

[frank saddle]

what do you want out of a school?

i think dartmouth is probably one of the best places to ed cause it's need blind for all countries

id almost say u should get in

[robust swift]

just gives me full ride and is good at business or cs related stuff

[frank saddle]

yeah i don't know about their business and cs programs but they're good at least

[robust swift]

i heard dartmouth is more stem oriented so my ECs dont matter much to em?

[frank saddle]

no i doubt it

[robust swift]

but ty it def gives me confidence me in my app

[frank saddle]

if these are ur only ec's it might not be great but if you have more depth and breadth ur fine

[robust swift]

i mean

am student representative of 300K+ students
founder of econ club @ one of asia's oldest clubs
created a robot for city cleaning that was appreicated by the mayor

[hollow mauve]

ecs definitely matter

and dartmouth is more liberal arts focused, like all the ivies

[robust swift]

also photography + freelance and i was book assistant to someone really famous in our country

[robust swift]

so ECs not alinging with major isnt a big big deal

[hollow mauve]

no its not

[robust swift]

aight ty

any college suggestions?

[hollow mauve]

there is no preference between ecs related to major and more rounded ecs

[robust swift]

am pretty indecisive ab my college list

[hollow mauve]

if ur interested in cs and business upenn m&t is probably the best program in the world for that

[robust swift]

is ed'ing to a need aware school a good idea?

[frank saddle]

upenn moment

no bias

[frank saddle]

definitely not

[robust swift]

thats why am simping over dartmouth even tho idk why but i hate it lol

[hollow mauve]

apply to all the need blind international schools

[frank saddle]

if u hate it don't ed lol

[robust swift]

my preference would be yale or harvard but ig that'd be way in reach and REA to one will result in defferal surely

[hollow mauve]

just dont ed/rea then

[robust swift]

but is ed boost real btw?

[hollow mauve]

apply to some other schools ea

not really

if u get in ED you would have gotten in RD

[frank saddle]

yes i think

[frank saddle]

ehhh

[hollow mauve]

if you get rejected ED you would have been rejected RD

[frank saddle]

only for certain schools

mainly

like uchicago jhu etc.

tulane 💀

[hollow mauve]

dont worry about ed boost

[robust swift]

dartmouth has a 25pc ed acceptance which is ALOT ig

[robust swift]

do you suggest doing rea somewhere

would it be foolish to go yale scea?

[umbral dagger]

you should really take a look at this

ratio of ED to RD for all "known" schools

[hollow mauve]

just dont do either

[robust swift]

i see

ty for the help ^-^

Yeah this is pretty good but I think it uses year before last data and some of them drastically change year to year, like Duke was I think 16% last year for instance
