Any advice 🥺

[somber jungle]

oh also the college list is a bit delulu, but i alr got conditionally accepted into 2 of them so im not going to apply to any other safeties

[crude ginkgo]

Cornell might not meet the city rec so fair if u don’t want it but rly good engineering and debate

Add Michigan, also v good engineering and debate and Ann Arbor is p good

Nvm u have Mich

U kinda hit everything but it’s a p long list

[somber jungle]

👍 i love the eng department + i have legacy there, so I might ED there

its not my top choice though unfortunately :( so idk

[crude ginkgo]

Dont ed if not ur top

Slash if u wouldn’t be happy

[static mesa]

Your Ed should be based on your top choice not what you have the best chances at

Think about if you did Ed to Uchi and got in and then got into mit ea. would you be happy going to Uchi?

[shy pasture]

Where did you get conditionally accepted to?

[frozen hawk]

cornell gang gang

**UWash Seattle should be UW Seattle :))

Our Physics/MechE/EE/MSE are all quite good. If you want to do music, I don't recommend UW.

[somber jungle]

lowk would die inside 😭 but chicago would still be a huge W

[static mesa]

That’s your answer!

[static mesa]

Why is the insta uofwa

That always bothers me sm

[late kraken]

Lol, probably because everyone else does "uof__" and UW wanted to join the party

[somber jungle]

two of the schools on my list :p

they're both outside the US though

[static mesa]

Ohh valid

[astral basalt]

no oxford?

i agree princeton rea is a good choice caltech if you know you are a good fit

for uchicago if you don't do ED or EA ur pretty much not getting in RD

actually scratch that don't do princeton rea

because they defer a lot and u shouldnt waste ur rea ticket on a school that will likely just defer you to rd

id say do all those EA schools u listed + the uk schools (add oxford?), but my suggestion would be instead of MIT do an school REA that doesnt defer as many (yale or stanford)

also your EA application essays will probably be the way worse than ur RD ones so if you want to maximize ur chance at mit just apply RD there's no difference

[empty bronze]

look into schools that put a good amount of weight on their sat

caltech mit duke vandy rice

[somber jungle]

i have cambridge on my list so i can't apply to oxford

😔

[somber jungle]

oh okok i didn't know that :O

[somber jungle]

i feel like schools that put a lotta weight on the sat tend to care less about ECs

which kinda fucks me over lol bc ECs are the strongest part of my application

[astral basalt]

oh i had no idea they don't let u lol
