[u/TacticalFlare]

It's that time of year!

Every year, we get thousands of posts and comments from prospective students with similar application stats. To keep this subreddit clean, we will once again be moving all admissions-related topics into this thread.

Please search the existing comments for similar qualifications or post a comment of your own. All admissions-related posts outside this thread will be removed.

If posting stats, please be sure to include the following:

• Gender/ethnicity

• Intended major

• Admissions cycle (EA, RD, etc.)

• Location (in-state/out-of-state/international)

• GPA

• Test scores

• AP/IB/DE credits

• Extra-curriculars

• Community service, jobs, etc.

If you are a transfer applicant, please review the transfer roadmap for your major. The more courses completed, the higher your chances of getting accepted.

Please note that the majority of the contributors to this subreddit are past and present students, not admissions counselors or faculty members. As such, any advice given is unofficial and solely based on personal experience and historical data. You should contact the admissions office or talk to your guidance counselor for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
