Accepted and Committed to the most selective school in the US/ maybe world?!!
I got into Minerva University, which has an acceptance rate of 0.8%! I was honestly so shocked when I got in because I was rejected and waitlisted from almost 10 schools back-to-back. I applied to a lot of top schools and reaches, so it was inevitable, but honestly, so heartbreaking. I applied to 22 schools but got accepted into over 70 schools. I got scholarships from every school I was accepted into. You may be wondering how I got into more schools than I applied to, and it's because if your SAT score is high enough, you can qualify for direct admissions, where colleges directly request you. So instead of applying to the college. The college basically applies to you. I also got off the waitlist and was accepted into the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which is #36 uni in the US, #27 in engineering, and #11 in bioengineering (my original intended major). I was on the fence for a while on whether or not to go with a more traditional uni like UWM or FSU, but ended up sticking with Minerva in the end. I've had so much fun growing with you all in this community. I wish you guys the best of luck in your SAT prep and college admissions journey. Let me know if you have any questions on the college application process, like writing essays, activities, or academic stats. Just a reminder, by the way, that your college admissions and SAT scores don't define your worth. Remember that you'll end up wherever you're meant to be. It's not the college that makes a bright future, but YOU.
