On top of getting rejected I’m also alone on valentines lol lemme pick a struggle
Here are my stats (I was told that I was a 90% accepted)
Business management
For context, I did all of my school years in France but in 8th grade I became depressed which really impacted my grades and attendance. I then started a self-paced American school to show universities that I was determined to succeed.
French school: no ranking
9th grade: 14.3/20 (considered an A); Brevet (passing exam): 645/800 and Magna Cum Laude
10th grade: (switch to Top 50 high school) 12.3/20 (250 hours of absences)
11th grade: 17/20; French baccalaureate (I): 15/20
12th grade: 18.7/20; French baccalaureate (II): expected 17+, and magna cum laude
American school:
3.96UW, NR
School doesn’t do weighted

the book is crazy is there a specific topic its about?
Idk
It’s probably waitlist or acceptance
But we have 31% of ppl with upload materials still there (I don’t think waitlist is THAT common)
Or I just a bigger sample (16 responses so far)
can someone tell me my chances? both for stern and ls core
No asian is just continent of asia. The reason we aren’t given a boost (and usually given a little bit of a hardship) is because so many qualified applicants from that ethnicity are there because of the emphasis our cultures have on education.
Do you have upload materials?
Fiction
I m just hoping that female to stern is less common than a male to stern. at this point I am okay with ls core
I feel like I agree with the fact that it being up is waitlist/defferal and the rest are terminal decisions
Nope
u r intl from Asia too?
My parents make around 500k but I applied for financial aid do you think that’ll screw me over (I’m domestic)
US cit, indian ethnicity
idts in terms of application, but idts u will get fin aid
Yeah basically every college has prompts that are like “talk about your culture/race/ethnicity/etc” anyways so they just find loopholes for it
do they calculate the finaid before or after? and also it would help if they saw my income right?
portal just updated, update changes buttons are GONE
yep, mine is gone too
