General

Currently a student at the University of Washington =]

none cause i havent done any transfer applications yet. im taking classes to bump my gpa. im probably going to end up transferring to CSUF but we'll see what happens.

All you Asians getting into all these fancy-ass schools.

I'm going to Regis University. Hey, it's good enough for me...it's Jesuit, ranked kinda highish on regional universities (west), and when I tell people that I know where I'm going, they're like "oooh, fancy" and crap like that.

[quote=Yoruta]My UW gpa is a 4.0, W gpa is a 6.38. I'm president in many clubs in my school(T.S.A, Robotics, SHPE, Chess, SECME, NHS), freshman year i was class treasurer, and every year after i've been president of my class. My school offers the Cambridge program, so i took 6 AICE classes and recieved my AICE diploma. I have over 400 hours of community service. I've been in interships for companies using 3D CAD design programs such as Mastercam and Solidworks. I was in M.I.T's MITES program last year. I recieved a 2300 on my SAT and a 34 on my ACT. I've forgotten what else i've done throughout the years lol.[/quote]

Damn son all that and only 55%? My twin is at MIT on a full ride right now and didn't do all that stuff. You sound like quite the scholar and a very outgoing person on paper. I wonder what you're actually like.

@ExitEnter: uvic didn't have my field of study.

[quote=Icephoenix21]Graduating from Vancouver Island University in June.

Glad to be done.[/quote]

Why did you go there? Isn't Uvic better?

@Yoruta: man what the hell good job

Graduating from Vancouver Island University in June.

Glad to be done.

[quote=Avatar]I know right, it sounds almost absurd that someone with over 400+ hrs of community service and all those extra curricular activities, those advanced class diplomas, and internships would have time to casually browse basilmarket around peak hours on a Sunday afternoon. I almost don't believe it...[/quote]
It's all about time management.

Applied to UBC commerce only and got in! A very risky move but whatever.

@Yoruta: Oh, that's weird, for our school, all AP's are weighted 5, and a few of the harder honors are weighted 5, but everything else is weighted 4. Credits don't affect GPA. That's a really weird system o.o

[quote=LiliKoby]UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Boston College are the big ones, chose Berkeley last night.
Also, don't give up hope for Berkeley haha, I didn't think I would get into UC Berkeley or UCLA after being waitlisted at UCSD and rejected from UC Davis.[/quote]

AHHHHHHHH CONGRATS ON BERKELEY

@yoruta: how do you have the time, motivation, and intelligence to do all that? Goddamn. What do you do in your free time?

Your post just inspired something out of me. Life is short and will to end suffering is infinite because there is plenty of time

I got accepted to UWaterloo, U of T, McMaster and U of Windsor for various programs.
Chose U of Waterloo for architecture.

im already in school but i guess i'll list mine, i applied to 21 schools

Acceptances: most were applied as engineering
UC San Diego (would've picked but i plan on going to grad school, rather not be a million dollars in debt)
UC Riverside
UC Irvine
Cal State LA
Cal State Fullerton
Cal Poly Pomona (my pick,cheap,great school IMO, applied as Aerospace engineering, thinking about maybe double majoring in Physics)

Rejections: (lol, out of my league)
USC
UCLA
UC Berkeley
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (dont know what happened there)
MIT
Stanford
Harvard
Yale
Cal Tech
Cornell

My academics: UW ~ 3.6
weighted ~ 4.1
SAT 1750
ACT 28

[quote=LiliKoby]I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have a weighted GPA over 5, unless your grading scale is different from the way it's set up by 99.9% of high schools in the US. Also, go to MIT or Stanford, don't settle for less. Student loans are 100% worth it if you go to those schools imo. Grats Also, standord pays tuition fully for those who's parents make less than 125k a year or are financially independent so I really don't see why money is such a huge issue.

Honors classes are weighted as 5 points, while A.P and AICE classes are weighted 6. Once i recieved all my necessary credits to graduate, weighted gpa can increase even more. The valedictorian at my school as a weighted gpa of 6.40, and there have been other cases of students with over 8.0 W GPA's. And thank you very much

@pinoymystic @Avatar: His EC's and test scores are quite average, for kids accepted into MIT and Stanford without legacy. I myself did not apply for any top 20 schools except Berkeley, and have similar test scores, community service, club leadership, and I will have taken 14 AP tests by the end of this year. I think the most impressive thing is probably the MITES program, and perhaps his class council leadership positions.

[quote=pinoymystic]good god, how is that possible. nonetheless, what an amazing feat! hopefully you can get lots of money in order to get into the colleges you got accepted into.[/quote]

I'm majoring in big ole' classic mechanical engineering.

[quote=Yoruta]I have the pleasure of being accepted into M.I.T, Stanford, Cal Poly tech, Carnegie Mellon, University of Florida, and Florida State University. But I have almost no funds, and even though M.I.T lowered there intuition for me by 55%, i'm trying to acquire more financial aid from them. If worse comes to worse, ill be going to UF starting Fall.[/quote]

I'm transferring into Texas Woman's University next semester.

I feel like whatever college you do end up going to, everything will work out in the end :o

UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Boston College are the big ones, chose Berkeley last night.
Also, don't give up hope for Berkeley haha, I didn't think I would get into UC Berkeley or UCLA after being waitlisted at UCSD and rejected from UC Davis.

Junior year at U of M next year for me.

I got accepted into the University of Miami, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Loyola University of Chicago. I chose Miami, it's going to be pretty fun

University of phoenix online

everest college so proud!
