The engineering is good but very general. There is some specialization that you can do in, say, computer engineering or environmental engineering, but not as much as you could do at a larger or more...

I don't think colleges mind study halls much (or whether you take 6 or 7 classes), as long as the courses you are taking are rigorous.

That's weird. I received my letter yesterday and I'm from Connecticut. They definitely send out both admits and rejects simultaneously so that's not the reason why you haven't received yours. Best of...

I was accepted. Psyched.

Good luck for RD to those rejected.

It's a bit presumptuous of you to say that "none of these students [who've shoved their schedules with APs] have reasons as to why they did that." Really, how would you know? I take all of the APs...

Drink more caffeine and sleep less.

Why is it so appealing to stay up past our bedtimes? Because, in a way, we are creating time only at the expense of energy. If you can function on low amounts...

How difficult is Molecular Genetics? Will colleges know that it's difficult? If it were just a matter of substituting an AP for Molecular Genetics, I'd say it doesn't matter, but it's 1 less class...

Would emulation of ancient tribal life necessarily make something appealing?

They are all academically rigorous. To say which is most so is probably splitting hairs. The same goes for which has the best history/English departments. There are definitely academic differences...

I suspect (or, at least, have always been under the impression) that Brown's applicant pool has lower SAT scores and that Brown gets a lot more middling applications that others don't. Dartmouth's...

To draw an analogy, what if someone were wrongly informed that he won the lottery? Sure, it sucks, but are you really going to give him the money over the person who really did win?

I don't think it's feasible to admit them all. 76 is more than 1/10 of Vassar's class. Taking yield into consideration, that would be more than 150 RD apps that they couldn't accept, and that's...

If he is literally getting a failing grade in junior year, the most important academic year, then that is very bad. It would be disingenuous to say that you could fail one of your "rigorous" courses...

As for 1 hour of sleep versus 1 hour of studying: it depends. If the difference were between 7 and 8 hours of sleep and I wouldn't be studying at all otherwise, then the studying would be better....
