Congrats to those accepted from the Dartmouth Board! We're all secretly (and some of us not-so-secretly) jealous of you.

We even have a popular student organization dedicated to the love of Yale.
Don't believe me? Watch: YouTube - Dartmouth Loves Yale

You guys are incredibly lucky.

Decision: Rejected

Stats:

• College/Major Applied To: Biology (of some sort...I'm using this for multiple colleges so I can't say the exact title)
• Fee Waiver Used?: No
• SAT I (by section): Critical Reading 680, Writing 750 (Essay 8, MC 78), Math 800
• SAT IIs: Math Level 2 750, Literature 700, Physics 570, Chemistry 530
• GPA, Weighted and Unweighted: UC Unweighted: 3.5ish, UC Weighted 3.65, Unweighted 3.65, Weighted 3.78 (difficult school with very few honors or AP classes)
• Rank: 7 of 38 (smart class too)
• ACT: 35
• APs (including this year's): Calculus AB: 3, I'm taking 8 tests this year thanks to independent study (I am the first at my school to do this), but I didn't know until my applications were in, so I was able to notify a few, but not all colleges
• IBs (including this year's: None
• Senior Yr Courseload: Heavy-the two other AP classes (English Lit and Physics) offered besides the one I have already taken, Speech, Apologetics, Government/Economics, Band, Spanish 3...at my school, that is a really heavy load
• Number of Apps from Your School: for all colleges I applied to except Davis (2 others), LA (1 other), Berkeley (1 other), and Pepperdine (1 other), there was no one else who applied. They are smart...but not very ambitious.
• Other stats (Awards, etc.): I've gotten a few minor awards, but nothing really worth mentioning. I guess I'll just list what I could get:
  1st Place - Algebra II Math League - School
  1st Chair - ACSI Honor Band - Regional
  Nominee - Junior Homecoming Prince - School
  Nominee - Senior Homecoming Prince - School
  Nominee - Veterans for Foreign Wars Competition - School
  Winner- Veterans for Foreign Wars Competition - Regional
  Winner - Servant's Heart Award - School

• State or Country: California
• School Type, Average Stats of School (if available): Parochial/Private. SAT Critical Reading Average 542, SAT Math Average 529, SAT Writing Average 552. Decent...
• Ethnicity: White. I mean Caucasian. Whatever. I wish I had gone undeclared.
• Gender: Male
• Income Bracket: 200,000+
• Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None
• Strengths: SAT scores, at least one essay on each application, interviews
• Weaknesses: SAT science scores (considering my science major), GPA
• Why you think you were accepted/wait listed/denied: Sophomore and Junior year GPAs. They were lower compared to my 1st, 2nd, and 7th semesters: 4.0 weighted.

Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART OF THIS ENTIRE PROCESS WAS WAITING FOR UC IRVINE FOR A MONTH JUST TO BE REJECTED. Hehe. On the other hand, I gave UC San Diego a call and they gave me the exact reason I was rejected because they could pull up my file and look at it. It was GPA by the way. And yes, the "chart" of point distribution is valid.

I knew what I was getting myself into, so I'm cool with it. If you need help with preparing for your application or college or whatever, PM me and I'll be happy to help. I wish I had had some help. Perhaps I would have pushed my GPA a bit more.

[jen89ob]

Decision: Rejected!

Objective:

• SAT I (breakdown): 2130 - 700 W/740 CR/690 M (ouchhh)
• SAT II: 800 M-II, 760 US History, 690 Literature (ouch again....)
• Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0
• Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1/76
• AP (place score in parenthesis): APUSH (5), APES (5), APLang (4), Psych (5), Calc AB (5)
• Senior Year Course Load: 5 AP - Music, Lit, Euro, Bio, Stats, 2 Honors - Span 3 and 4
• Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): NM Finalist, a few local music awards, a few writing ones.
  

Subjective:

• Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Beta Club (President), Newspaper (Editor), LitMag (Editor & Consultant), Go Green (Coordinator), tutoring (founder & president), piano, choir (Student Director & Accompanist), lots of volunteer work... other stuff.
• Job/Work Experience: restaurant work
• Volunteer/Community service: lots and lots. Most devoted to weekly elementary tutoring.
• Summer Activities: mortgage internship last summer, work and planning activities with friends 2 summers before
• Essays: Strange one for CommonApp. A heartfelt, though perhaps overly melodramatic supplement. Botched-up short responses. Kicked myself for them.
• Teacher Recommendation: Good. Both know me very well: are advisors for Newspaper and LitMag as well as my previous English and US History teachers. I'm almost like a co-worker to them. Except one teacher misspelled my name...
• Counselor Rec: No idea. Good, I hope. She's completely new and quite clueless, but she's nice and wants the best for me.
• Additional Rec: none... I took it seriously when they said they didn't require more than asked for...
• Interview: Went very well! The lady was a chamber musician-turned-financier who was really delightful to chat with. =) If nothing, I enjoyed getting to know such an awesome person. I'm easily impressed.
  

Other

• State (if domestic applicant): NC
• School Type: trashy public
• Ethnicity: Asian
• Gender: Female
• Income Bracket: 70k-85k
• Hooks: none?
  

Reflection

• Strengths: My transcript is not bad, the interview went well (if that counted at all), and I worked hard in all of high school...
• Weaknesses: The fact 24,000+ people applied in this whacked-up year. My CommonApp essay is a little kooky (honest though)... ECs are generic, but they're what I love, so what can I do? Maybe SAT was lower than a lot of folks on CC, but it went down when I retook so I moved on with my life.
• Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: There is an insane number of applicants who are severely well-qualified for Yale. Just looking on these forums, I realize that and am lucky to have had the chance to even THINK about applying.
  Surprise waitlists from Harvard and Princeton though... I didn't screw up the application for them like I did for Yale. Ah well...
  

General Comments: I LOVE UNC! It has been an interesting few months. I didn't consider any Ivies until about last October, so it was all a shot in the dark. Now we know!

Best wishes to everyone! You deserve all the good things that will come to you.
