Still waiting for Yale Penn and Harvard. I didn’t apply ED because I wanted to keep my options open for Tulsa and
Colorado. For all schools I applied as a primary music major. Let me know what you guys think!

Forgot to mention my work/volunteer experience. Have worked at a local chain grocery store for 2 years. About 20hrs a week. Outside of my community service coalition, I volunteer at a hospital every Saturday for blood drives.

You have a really strong application! Couldn’t find any cons in it. Considering you already got accepted to some of the most selective schools, you’ll probably get accepted to the remaining of the Ivys you applied to as well. Good luck and keep going, you’re on the right track!

@laklouka13 @KingHuevos Sorry I didn’t reply on the 1st!

I was admitted at Yale, rejected at Penn and Harvard. Ivy Admissions sure are weird! Thank you guys for all your help!

My final choice will be the University of Tulsa. The amount of aid I’ve received there is far more than Yale was going to give me!
