@2017freshman please ignore @stones3. She’s a very disgruntled parent who can’t seem to move on from the Cooper forum. Here’s the backstory, as per her above post, ‘Our D did the whole cooper thing (long story but ultimately not a great experience), Saturday outreach for a year and summer intensive plus attended several lectures.’
Her daughter never attended Cooper as a college student she was at Cooper only during HS. Here are a few of her posts when she thought her daughter was a shoo-in because she attended the HS program:

up till recently it was 100% free, now due to a board that spent like drunken sailors its 50% free to ALL that are talented enough to get in. See it is a very rare meritocracy. So even middle class kids and higher get a 50% scholarship, it’s very competitive and they only take the best of the best of the best in Engineering, archit, Art. Very small school of about 1,000 with lots of personal attention in those three disciplines. A very very impressive list of alumni.

here’s a school with a 8-15% acceptance rate. With a curriculum widely considered the toughest around and that’s in comparison to places like Harvard, Yale , Princeton etc. A meritocracy . And it always gets me when a student is surprised by how difficult it can be. Frankly that’s what happens when you go to your “reach” school . I mean , its supposed to be really really difficult.

However, this all changed when her daughter was not accepted to Cooper. She’s on a mission to stop anyone from attending since it makes her feel better. It’s time for her to move on, it would be healthier for both her and her daughter if she just would. But FACT feel free to PM her.

BTW, the new President Laura Sparks was at Cooper today welcoming the students back and ushering in a new era at the school. Good luck, I hope you are accepted into the school this spring.
