Official Unofficial Class of '11 Thread

<p>Wow! UVA made #2 on Princeton Review’s best financial aid list this year lol! Great school. Are you instate?</p>

<p>where can u apply with a 2030 sat score?
i didn’t study for it and i want to retake it to reach for 2400 lol
but what colleges with def accept that, i hav a 3.9 gpa and 3rd in class</p>

<p>2030 is above the top 90th percentile! Not a bad score by any means. Don’t let the CC mentality drag you down, markymark15. But if you’re hellbent on retaking it, that’s always a plus too! Moreover, with the few stats you listed, I’m sure you could get into a ton of schools! Just depends on your interests etc.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m instate, thankfully lol
And I didn’t know that it was number 2, but this is good, seeing as I need a LOT of finaid! : )
Marky, there are so many colleges you could go to! Do you have any good in state options?</p>

<p>I live in NJ and want to do pre-med so I really want to go to The College of New Jersey (heard its really good)
other instate colleges are Rutgers, Montclair, Seton Hall, and some others</p>

<p>College of NJ has a critical reading range from 570-670 and math range from 590-700. (If you don’t know what I mean by range, pretty much if your score is in the range, you are good. If it’s near the top of the range or above it, you’re great!)</p>

<p>Rutgers has CR range of 520-630 and math 560-670.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure your scores are in their ranges or above! I would need to know a bit more about your stats, but I’m thinking so far those schools would be good matches for you. You should definitely apply to them if you like them, and maybe look at some other colleges really strong in pre-med.</p>

<p>Also, remember scores aren’t everything.</p>

<p>My top choice is Swarthmore - applying there ED I. If I don’t get in there (eep!!) I’m applying to a couple of other schools too just in case.</p>

<p>Has everyone finalized their college choices? My school lets us apply to 8, and right now I have 5 definitive ones, 1 maybe, and 2 gaps to fill (or leave empty, as the case may be…).</p>

<p>^ Your school limits the number of places you apply to?</p>

<p>^ Yeah. It’s kind of stupid but also kind of makes sense.</p>

<p>How and why is your school all up in your business like that? What are they gonna do arrest you if you apply to 9?</p>

<p>^^^^That’s messed up and I’ve never heard of a school doing that before. Granted, if you’re applying to more than 8 schools then you probably haven’t done enough research and you’re probably wasting money/acting on paranoia/going applying-based-on-rankings crazy, but you should have every right to apply to as many as you want.</p>

<p>Haha, I didn’t know it was such a big deal… I don’t really mind, but I’m sure there are some people who are peeved that they can’t, say, apply to every single Ivy.</p>

<p>Class of '11. Yaaaay!</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, are the majority of you going for the Ivy-League type of schools? If so, I feel so out of place it isn’t even funny.</p>

<p>I can’t speak for the majority but i am.</p>

<p>i’m going for the ivies that are not harvard, yale, or princeton :)</p>

<p>Why is this thread “unofficial”? Lol, it seems pretty official to me :D</p>

<p>I’m applying to Harvard and Yale to appease the Asian parents, but I’m hoping I get into Swarthmore so I don’t even have to deal with that.</p>

<p>I was actually looking into Swarthmore but decided against it, mostly because I don’t want to go any farther than about 3 or so hours from my house. Swarthmore is about 5 away, unfortunately. Tuition is a little pricey for me as well.</p>

<p>And, I officially feel completely out of place with you all that are hoping to be Ivy-leaguers.</p>

<p>I hope to go to a number one school.</p>

<p>Number one party school that is. GO UGA!</p>

<p>^ Haha, I read “UGA” as “ooga” at first.</p>
