<p>I don’t need to take one, I want to! I want to have a year to go abroad, maybe get fluent in Spanish, take some time to relax, etc. I’ll probably apply to college first then defer for a year anyway, so colleges won’t even know I’m planning to take one when I apply.</p>
<p>What’s everyone’s top choice school? Mine’s either Johns Hopkins or Dartmouth. Probably going to apply ED to JHU. Excited!</p>
<p>Yale!</p>
<p>(why oh why)</p>
<p>Probs my local community college. 4 year universities are overrated, yo.</p>
<p>So glad to see you’re trolling again. Aah.
Also, you never replied to our heartfelt, gooey, lovely PM. Rejection hurts.</p>
<p>@Backere19 MIT is my top choice… Applying EA… </p>
<p>And guys, we’re so screwed… After seeing the admissions rate this year, I’m even more scared than before… :/</p>
<p>Ahahaha dfree’s trolololols…</p>
<p>Harvard. I keep telling myself that, since I want to go to graduate school, I have two chances of getting in. It helps.</p>
<p>Also, I just checked the college list I made. There are 13 schools on it.</p>
<p>Coincidence? I think not.</p>
<p>Only 1 chance for undergrad though. )= 3.8 percent this year for Harvard (RD), yet 17 percent for EA… Next year it’ll probably be 3.5. -.- They should balance it out a little more. I mean, c’mon, 3.8 is past ridiculous. I wish MIT favored their EA applicants that much… Lol</p>
<p>Harvard… God help me. </p>
<p>I think the SCEA rate is only that inflated because of the obligatory athletes, legacies, etc. I’m applying SCEA and I really hope they take me but there was this post by the mom of a Yale legacy and he was really qualified (moreso than me) and got rejected from Yale… But he did get into Harvard. So I’m guessing legacy doesn’t help that much. </p>
<p>I also really like Dartmouth, Princeton, Tufts, and Georgetown. ■■■.</p>
<p>I saw that - and as a Yale legacy applying SCEA, i’m freaked.</p>
<p>There’s always transferring. ;)</p>
<p>I don’t really like the idea of transferring… I feel like you should stick to the same school for 4 years, unless you actually are miserable at that first school… But not to go to a ‘better’ school…</p>
<p>And, btw, I also like/love:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
Georgetown
Columbia
Brown
UChicago
Notre Dame
Boston College </p>
<p>And some others… Lol</p>
<p>^your list is all over the place! what do you wanna major in?</p>
<p>Jchillin’ in cornell’s admissions office waiting for the tour. Awaddup Big Red.</p>
<p>Chemistry with pre-med…</p>
<p>UChicago’s almost off the list because their premed is apparently ridiculously hard due to the grade deflation being so bad? Plus it’s far from home…</p>
<p>But gosh, the people there are amazing. Lol</p>
<p>My top choice school is Purdue… Not anything major like Ivy or MIT…</p>
<p>yeah I on and off consider Harvard/Yale…parents want me to apply to one of them, but honestly why bother. I mean 2250 SAT, 5.75 GPA (me) are probably average/sub-average at Harvard. I guess being Hispanic might help a bit, but still. I really do like Harvard’s campus though.</p>
<p>My biggest fear is that I’m going to be stuck going to the SUNY school near my town. I want to get out of the area, and I’d see almost half of my high school there.</p>
