Congrats on the admissions Mateo. Super impressive. You also look to be a great person - very good vibes. I'm wondering why you didn't chose CMU in the end? Given you want to go into CS, its program is significantly stronger than Yale (I would also say likewise for Cornell/Columbia?).

VAMOS BODON!!

What were your other stats? Such as your extracurriculars and other stuff outside of your SAT score. Getting into so many of the Ivy Leagues and top 20s is not an easy task at all. There's no way you just got in by having a good SAT score. What else did you do and put on your college apps to make yourself stand out and get accepted into so many of them?

Was just about to say i want an essay reveal! I go over a few essays on my page but it is just the ones I edit for my students… I want to see the ones of people who have already gotten in so I can tell my students what strategies to use for specific schools/ivies etc

Am I doomed at being able to get into a top school?I'm graduating a year early. When I was in middle school, in 8th grade I took 3 hs level courses algebra 1, living environment, and us history which my average in 8th grade was only like an 83. However, now I go to a hs that does competency based grades not number grades. I'm performing alot better now and have been accepted into alot of prestigious college prep programs and science ones. I am considered a top student in my school and even was recommended for college level classes and an AP class. I have very good extracurricular like I'm on the student leadership team, did a summer trauma program at new york Presbyterian, am doing college now classes, a summer research science program with Rockefeller University, and envirothon. Can I have at top schools and do you think i'll be asked to report my middle school grades?

Why choose Yale over Columbia bro?

@mateobodon

3 ай бұрын

Yale and Columbia were actually my top two choices. Making the decision was tough, but I attended both admitted students days and gathered as much information as I could. They are quite different. I love Columbia's campus and the access to the city, but it has downsides, such as a smaller size, less school spirit, and fewer common spaces for students to meet. Yale's campus, while different-being a bit more spread out and lower in density-is gorgeous, walkable, and definitely boasts a stronger school spirit. Regarding academics, both are very strong in almost every field; however, Columbia seems to be a bit stronger in Engineering. This was a point of consideration for me, but I wondered how important this actually was, especially since this is an undergraduate education versus graduate studies. My potential Major is also a bit less engineering-heavy (Computer Engineering/Computer Science). Yale also offers its own benefits in engineering, like a 2:1 student-to-faculty ratio, perhaps easier to excel in clubs/programs due to fewer students, and a 4-year BS/MS program in Computer Science. Additionally, Yale allows for double majors, which seem very attainable given how the requirements are structured, unlike at Columbia where they're not permitted. So, for academics, I was drawn to the prospect of double majoring, the BS/MS program, and the accessible professors. If I chose Yale, I would probably major in CS and Applied Math, both subjects I am passionate about and which align with Yale's strengths. Columbia also has a extensive core curriculum which while appealing is very time-consuming-I hear it takes up about a third of your coursework-which I feel could be spent exploring new subjects or taking more classes aligned with my interests/major. There are also a few intangible factors. For instance, Yale students are supposedly friendlier and less competitive than Columbia students, although I have no definitive way to confirm this. It's said that Columbia's classes are graded more stringently than Yale's, but I'm sure this varies widely. The people are another consideration; Yale presented many cool, unique stories, and while Columbia did as well, the overall vibe from Yale was just better. I know this explanation is lengthy, but I hope it helps!
