<p>@ anon: It is lovely that you consider applying to german universities! </p>
<p>Why do you want to limit yourself to 3 though?
And when you are on the tech-school track, you might want to check out the Technische Universit</p>
<p>High Reach:
Harvard (SCEA)
Yale
UPenn (Wharton)
Stanford</p>
<p>Reach:
Emory</p>
<p>Match:
Mercer</p>
<p>Safeties:
Georgia State (EA)
UGA (EA)</p>
<p>If I don’t become a Questbridge Finalist, I’ll probably won’t apply to Emory, but I don’t know if I’ll still try Stanford, Yale, UPenn, and Mercer. It will just all depend on if I keep my job or get a new one (trying to do that right now) and based on that how much money I have by August.</p>
<p>A lot of you guys are applying to the Ivies…O.O</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be able to get into any of them lol. Good luck.</p>
<p>Based upon grades and achievements, not including SAT or ACT since I take them March and April respectively, I’m just shy of average. The only things that sets me apart is that I beat the statistics. By that, I mean I’m African-American, male, and low-income. This combination usually equals crime, jail, and/or death being the center of my life instead of academics. Fortunately, my parents have high standards and want me to be more successful than them.</p>
<p>Actually, I’m only applying to one. Otherwise I don’t really like them… they seem pretty party-scene-heavy - not something I want. Besides, my grades suck and my ECs are decent so I probably won’t get into any of them. And, on top of that, I’m Asian, so they’ll hate my bad grades even more. Curse being Asian.</p>
<p>Many of you appear to have a rather strong definition of yourself within certain demographics. </p>
<p>It is actually a lot less stressful to pick out schools when you know who you are and what you want. Your identity is not the first page of the common app! It consists of your hopes, dreams, experiences, emotions and all of that. If you have a healthy sense of who you are, what becomes most important is getting into a school that makes you happy as opposed to getting into a school to make you happy. If a college doesn’t accept you, it was not the right college for you. Seek out colleges where you believe you will be loved and accepted and where you get the support you need to prepare you for the rest of your life (and also not give you 3000 more a year in the first year.) If you reduce yourself to being black, white, blue green or yellow, your life might consist of trying to break out of the associated customs/characteristics/whatever. Unfortunately, by either trying very hard to be something you are not or not be something you are, you lose yourself in the process, or you don’t ever find yourself.
Just think and live and live and do whatever you want. Change the world, a step at a time. Don’t put your energy into keeping track if everything you do, because that makes changing the world not so fun anymore. </p>
<p>I am kind of feeling philosophical right now, I am sorry for any annoyance this whim of me might cause 
</p>
<p>Good night!</p>
<p>since everyone’s posting where they’re applying, I will too.
from reaches to safeties:
UCLA
UCI
SDSU
CSULB
CSUSM
Azusa Pacific </p>
<p>I plan on majoring in Nursing.</p>
<p>I don’t really care for APU, because I currently go to a Christian school and even though I’m a believer, school is just too much. And it’s strict, but it’s a safety.</p>
<p>I need more matches on my list. Engineering major.</p>
<p>Reach:
MIT
Northwestern
Cornell
WashU
Rice
UCB</p>
<p>Match:
UMich
UT-Austin</p>
<p>Safety:
Tulane</p>
<p>I’m not basing where I’m planning to attend college at because of my demographics. I’ve been to Harvard, Yale, Emory, GSU, and UPenn and loved them, especially Harvard with that one courtyard with at least 1,000 people in it at once socializing and just relaxing. I’m interested to all the rest by being accepted to a program hosted by the college (Stanford) or was introduced to the college(Mercer and UGA). My demographics just help boost me in the eyes of a college.</p>
<p>I was on an interview with a college rep. While talking about what I do in my spare time, I accidentally mentioned that I like to count cards (not old enough at a casino obviously but when playing cards with friends). While not illegal, it is frowned upon. Do you think that it could affect my chances at that college? Or am I just overreacting?</p>
<p>SAT scores tomorrow…</p>
<p>Best of Luck to Everyone!!!</p>
<p>Not to sound like I’m stalking the College Board or anything, but do they release the SAT scores at midnight Eastern Time or is it going to be later for me in Ohio?</p>
<p>My understanding is 5:30am eastern time.</p>
<p>^ yes to stop overloading of their servers</p>
<p>Planning on applying to:
George Washington (reach, and I would need some awesome financial aid)
UW Seattle (in state,but they’ve been quite stingy on in state admissions the past few years)
UNC Greensboro
Maryland
Utah
Northern Colorado
Mayyyybe UVa… I haven’t decided yet.
And also WSU and Western Wa as safeties</p>
<p>That moment when you realize you’ve been lying in bed hating your life for ten hours.</p>
<p>I think I’m getting bronchitis, or I just have a really bad cough, and I’m supposed to go to Maine with my friend Friday to Tuesday -___-. I feel terrible, it’s currently 5 AM, and I’m also taking my permit test in 8 hours.</p>
<p>At least I don’t have any important classes today.</p>
<p>Although I have chorus, and I haven’t been able to sing for ~3 days. Which is a tragedy in and of itself.</p>
<p>Got a 2290… good score but I could have done better. Retaking it ASAP.</p>
