Are you in-state or out?

Miru · 03-29-2008, 06:03 PM

OOS (Colorado For The Win!)

Accepted: University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana, University of Colorado-Boulder, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Colorado School of Mines

Rejected: MIT

Who knows?: Harvey Mudd College (probably rejected though)

Still don't know where I'm going...UVA is my current top choice, but I seem to change that about every three weeks :/

asullivan · 03-29-2008, 06:10 PM

Out of State

Accepted: UVa, UNC-Chapel Hill, Penn State, Pitt
Rejected: Duke
Yet to Hear: Princeton (likely rejected)

I love UVa, but I'm from the Pittsburgh area, I love my city, and Pitt is offering to pay my tuition, so I'm in a bit of a conundrum.

OOS (CA)

Accepted: UVA, UCLA, UC Berkeley, U-Michigan, U-Washington, U-Wisconsin
Pending: Notre Dame

I'm REALLY hoping to get into ND. If I don't, I'll probably be attending UVA in the fall (unless I get the alumni scholarship from UCLA).

Congrats and good luck to all!

I actually got into HMC...now I have no idea where I'm going! I'm one of those people that takes 20 minutes to decide what to order off a menu, how am I supposed to choose where to go to college???

Location: SW PA (OOS)
Accepted: UVA, Pitt
Waitlisted: CMU, Cornell, Georgetown
Rejected: Dartmouth (after ED deferral)
Still Waiting: William & Mary (though I'd much rather go to UVA)

I feel as if UVA may be it. CMU is 20 minutes from my house, plus ridiculously expensive and notoriously stingy on financial aid, so I don't plan on going on the waitlist. Cornell is really quite similar to UVA for my intended major (business, maybe...actually, UVA is better) plus at UVA I'd start out in CAS which would be nice, seeing that I'm not 100% sure I want to go into business...though I'm pretty sure. Also at Cornell I would have to take biology for my business major which would suck. Georgetown I'm not sure about, but I didn't really visit it and I added it to my list as sort of an afterthought. Plus it would be really pricey and seems similar to Penn, a school which I was not the least bit excited about. But...we'll see! (But it looks like UVA!)

db123 · 04-04-2008, 02:19 AM

Location: NoVA
Accepted: Virginia Tech, UVa, Johns Hopkins
Waitlisted: Duke
Rejected: UPenn (deferred ED, then rejected)

I only applied to 5 schools and most people that I know were like wha?! but I had my safety (VT), my pretty sure (UVa) and my reaches (Duke, JHU, Penn). I will be attending UVa in the coming fall because there's no way in hell I'm paying 50+k for 4 years just for an undergrad degree. I need to pay for med school. Besides, I won't feel as bad asking my parents for money for spending money.

vc08,

I chose UVA over ND and I am so happy that I did. I visited both schools overnight and had a slightly better visit at ND, but in the end, UVA is a much better place overall.

College is a time when you should be exploring intellectual fields without religious demands. At ND, there is a chapel in every dorm and everyone is aware of who attends mass and who does not.

Further, it is DAMN cold. I am very much a fan of the temperate VA weather and I would have been miserable in that environment.

Parietals are also ridiculous. This is college. I am an adult, so I like to be treated as one. I don't need arbitrary rules about what I can and cannot do. I cannot tell you how many late night discussions I had with guy FRIENDS in dorms last year til four AM in our rooms. It was so much fun, so intellectually stimulating, and it is what college is all about. I don't need to be told who I can see when and in which situations.

I just wanted to throw it out there that I would have severely regretted going to ND, even though it seems so cool. (trust me, i understand the appeal - the traditions, the football, and apparent love among all the students.) But it seems to me that we have all of that, without the crap.

Master Dad · 04-14-2008, 09:21 AM

International student

Accepted: UVa, Berkeley (pending 'cos one of the subjects I took was a D.. sigh), Carnegie Mellon, UIUC
Waitlisted: UMich
Rejected: Cornell ED

Can't decide between UVa, Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon!! Help!! UVA's the friendliest among all, no question about that. But I'm just worried about its reputation overseas... (I'm talking about South East Asia)

Barq45 · 04-19-2008, 01:32 PM

I picked UVA with Echols over William and Mary with Monroe Scholars. As you can tell, I'm from Virginia.
