ND has hella athletes and legacies btw

#

I mean the class has more seats

vocal schooner
#

But REA has a lot of legacies, atheletes, people affliated with the institution etc.

glossy lagoon
#

should i do gap year

upper glade
#

so theres less class shaping involved in REA

vocal schooner
#

So it might've been harder to be accepted to ND REA as an international student honestly

upper glade
#

I think thats the only advantage an unhooked applicant has

#

for REA

vocal schooner
#

It was just that ND was my first choice (Davidson was my second) so I REA'd there

I don't know if there's an ideal time to write one?

I gotta look into tips for what letters of continued interest even like

I'll probably just write a template LOCI and then personalize it for all 6

glass hornet
#

Yeah same

#

I might sent mine mid May

muted cloud

That's generally when schools look to take you off

muted cloud

Idk what’s his problem with LAC kids

muted cloud
#

Genuinely I don't care about reputation or prestige, it's all about fit and where you can thrive

Only mfs that try to rationalize their suffering or try to puff their chest for getting into a "selective institution" think otherwise

It wasnt that many years ago I thought the peak of my achievement would be my local state school, or a school with like an 80 percent acceptance rate. That's genuinely what I believed when I started this process, and now I have offers from top LACs where I could graduate debt free

My top 4 schools looks totally different than what I thought it would, but I still regret nothing

my next decision is tuesday…i might die

#

idk how i waited for months

muted cloud
#

so some schools clearly do value it still

muted cloud
#

and I got like 25k a year merit

I'm realizing most the schools I got into are need blind though

#

Richmond and Grinnell are the top schools I got into and both are need blind

#

ugh

i’ve looked it up and you get two degrees in 5 years and it’s partnered with universities one of them is columbia which is an hour from my house so it’s lowkey nice if i ever decide to consider engineering

my friend has been waitlisted from oxy, kenyon, richmond, haverford, w&l, and davidson + rejected from bates, amherst, bowdoin, colby, colgate, swarthmore, and middlebury ☹️

It only takes one, but when that one doesn't come, or you're "qualified" but not exactly what they're looking for (so a waitlist) its SO frustrating

#

I took my waitlists as good signs until they got to a point

# midnight garnet waitlists are like soft rejections

They are, but they still indicate you're qualified. You just don't fit their current class, and it gives them a pool in case their yield is bad. Some schools have exceptional yield, which often makes it a soft rejection.

Generally waitlists are a sign you can get in elsewhere since you're still a qualified candidate. But again, college admissions are like the lottery.

#

Some schools have bad yield, which makes it more hopeful to get off said list

frozen cape
# fallen umbra bro this is actually the waitlist of doom

no i know i dont understand how she hasn’t gotten at least one admit like okay she doesn’t have the perfect app but it literally isn’t bad like this is not what i was expecting and then i know every school is independent but i am surprised she got waitlists at haverford and w&l and davidson and not accepted into oxy or kenyon

This is particularly true at LACs since they prioritize class building heavily as opposed to big Unis, which generally like more quantifiable metrics than LACs do

# frozen cape wait like what is this

it's basically just someone who is connected with the university in someway who makes a call on your behalf like sometimes if you know someone who is an alum and is still connected to the alumni network they can make a call and just speak to your strength and what you can offer the school

vernal hare
#

or did they have some other interview

fallen umbra
#

or if you know someone who has donated or contributed to the school in some way

#

they can sometimes work especially at smaller schools where it's like a smaller network
