Africans Applying to American Colleges 2022

Ah. Rejected REA FROM Stanford

@gigichuck I trust you’ll get accepted into a good school ! :slight_smile: . Have you submitted any other applications?

@Controlla I got accepted to Stanford REA. Unexpected…

What schools are you looking at?

@gigichuck You’ll you’ll get into a great school :slight_smile: Don’t worry

@David Kwentua Yep. Long before I got my rejection. I kind of knew anyway. Didn’t have a good feeling about it. Submitted to Vanderbilt, Urichmond, CMC, and a couple others.

Will you be committing to Stanford right away or are you going on with RD apps? And do you live in Nigeria?

@cnc2000 :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: Thank you

@David Kwentua That’s really great!!!

@David Kwentua Wow! Congrats! Are you committing?
I’ll be applying to MANY colleges (though not as many as @gigichuck). A few of them include: Penn, Cornell, Wellesley, Colgate,L&C,etc.If my standardized results come out good, I might add one of HYPS.
Awesome AA2AC is up to a good start!

@gigichuck yes lol I’ll be committing straight-up… partly because it’s an awesome offer with perfect financial aid and also partly because I’m too lazy to re-live the essay writing process for other colleges and interviews and blah lol…

No I don’t live in Nigeria; I moved to South Africa in 2013. I might visit Lagos next year, though.

@Controlla Thanks! Yes I’ll be committing :slight_smile:

All the best with your college applications and test scores!

@cnc2000 thanks! Where are you applying to? :slight_smile:

@David Kwentua. A bunch of schools but my top choices are Case Western and University of Miami. I applied to Vanderbilt as well. It seems like a great school but I’m not sure if it’s right for me?
I’m not applying to any ivies :). And my parents keep on asking me why :))

@cnc2000 Well, why?

@gigichuck I’m not so sure honestly…(this is what I tell all the relatives that ask) I’m just a lot more interested in the schools just below them. I wanted to go to Harvard three years ago :slight_smile: But I just sort of changed my mind.

@cnc2000 That’s cool.

@gigichuck Are you taking a gap year currently? Just curious.

@cnc2000 No. I’m a senior right now. Which country are you from/live in?

@David Kwentua Do you go to ALA?

@gigichuck I’m Nigerian

@gigichuck no I don’t go to ALA, I Just visit sometimes cuz of my friends there. Fun fact- I applied there twice and got rejected both times lmaoooo
