Accepted. No honors college, no scholarship, no FA. 1600 SAT one sitting, top student, science competitions first place, NMF, US Pres. scholars nominee, etc…

Accepted CAS. 33 ACT
3.9 UW/ 4.2 Weighted. 20/640 rank in public school.
In my opinion, my essays were unique.
Nationally recognized ECs and club involvement & 4 year varsity lacrosse.
Accepted into: BC, BU, GWU, UNC, UCLA, NYU (received my decision early).
Deferred: Columbia ED

Accepted.
1570 SAT
4.0 UW/4.8 W
Biomedical Engineering
Presidential Scholarship
Tons of school-wide initiative and leadership in ECs, but awards above the regional level are sparse.

Def my second choice outside of the ivys/duke! Ecstatic!

I am feeling a let down for my D, and for others here. You all work so hard for four years to get into these prestigious schools and your awards are so small (despite your amazing accomplishments.) Ours: no need base, and $20,000 per year. The school is $77,000. It’s untouchable even with the award. Reality: my D will likely go to Duquesne with a full academic scholarship, a partial room and board scholarship, and direct entry into the Pre-med program.

Accepted into SHA. 32 ACT (33 superscored), 3.75-3.80 GPA UW, published author, many regional research awards. a few national awards, lots of volunteering, worked as customer service before, couple of leadership positions, pretty good recs, varsity athlete

accepted - villanova business, ucsd, binghamton, fordham business
waitlisted - ucla, barnard
rejected - cornell

It is awarded with the decision letter.

Hey! I read from an old thread that KHC only admits 150 students out of 22,000 (but I highly doubt that all those students showed interest in the honors college… Another source says that it’s a 9% acceptance rate.

I got into Questrom & Kilachand Honors as an international student(no scholarship)

SAT: 1380
IB Score (most recent): 43/45
No GPA as my school doesn’t convert IB scores
Pretty strong EC’s
Spent a lot of time on my KHC essay

@Topcat123 I got accepted to KHC & Questrom. No scholarship. However, I am an international student so I only qualify for the full ride/25k per year.

Do you happen to know the admit rate for KHC this year?

Accepted into CGS

OOS
GPA: 3.4 UW / 4.1 W
SAT: 1450

Lots of amazing EC’s, great LOR’s, stunning essays, brilliant personal statement. But I don’t know how I feel about getting into CGS. I applied for Finance at Questrom.

No aid.

I got waitlisted :frowning:
IB 43/45
applied major : Biology
1st place Science Debate + Leader
Leader for environment project service group
2nd place for National Debate championship
good recommendation letter
Hospital volunteering in emergency center
Varsity soccer

what is a chance of getting accepted for waitlisted?

Anyone know about Tuition Exchange Scholarship decisions?

Hi I got accepted to BU as a guaranteed transfer as a political science/history major. However, I’ve been torn between that and business. And I’m thinking about switching in Questrom. Do you think this would be possible and still be considered for guaranteed admission?

Accepted for Film in the school of communication! NO FA though so a bit sad. Congrats to everyone else!
There is no email telling about portal updates, so people just need to log in (the decisions come up immediately after logging in) GOOD LUCK!

Accepted into CAS and Kilachand! I’m disappointed with my financial aid, though. It seems strange for them to expect 27k/y when my EFC is a fraction of that.

34 ACT, 3.97 UW, 790 & 720 SATIIs.
