So personally, I've been stressing over college acceptances, and I got my first rejection letter today so Im on this weird emotional trip because I keep thinking every university might think the same way.
So far, I got accepted to UC Riverside and Cal State Long Beach (my back up schools) the top choices im waiting on Cal Poly Pomona UC Davis UC Santa Cruz UC Irvine My DREAM SCHOOLs (I would literally cry(jk) if I got accepted (hoping I am that 1%) UC Berkeley UC Santa Barbara I currently got rejected from San Diego State University (their Business is prestigious and impacted which is probably why I got rejected) stat wise high school GPA : 3.67 weighted Passed AP USH with a 3 EC's: MUN, Key Club, ASB, ITS office positions: Key Club webmaster / Vice President, ASB Secretary, ITS webmaster as you can see, the only thing on my app that makes me confident is my EC section, I dont really have stellar academic records 1. Do you think I have chances to my top choices? (not my DREAM schools) 2. Share some of your acceptances with us! :) |

this is the dumbest debate ever, why are you even fighting with them if you are happy with your school choice? who cares. clearly the standards have changed, your academics and scores are better than tung's and he got in.
people make too much of a fuss over colleges, 90% of the time i don't think it matters that much. sure there are some majors where your college matters more, but for most people, esp in general areas i don't think so. there's people who go to "better" schools and turn out to be complete f*ck ups with their life. there's people who go to less prestigious ones and turn out better. in the end how you treat the experience is gonna be more important than what the name of your school is. i turned down higher ranked places like NYU to go to a lower ranked school, who's surrounding area is nothing like new york, because i wanted somewhere opposite of that and that was more important to me than school names. my education is good. i don't believe people who went to higher ranked schools are smarter than me. for example throw me in a debate with tung, how many people here think his higher rank university is gonna be the deciding factor? i'm gonna bet zero. becuase it just makes absolutely no difference where we go to school when you get down to it. i got a big scholarship and i'm not going to be in any debt whatsoever when i graduate, which means a lot to me, more so than being able to say i went to a big name school. you said you got a scholarship to riverside. when you graduate probably a lot of your friends will be jealous as they start out their life with thousands and thousands in loans. according to that list riverside ranks in the top 100. are you really going to take anyone seriously who says a top 100 ranking school is a SUCKY school? |
