Hey everyone!
One of my friends and I are working on a project, https://admissions.fyi/, that allows high school seniors to post their college admissions stats and what schools they applied to for underclassmen to look at and see what they need to do to get into their dream schools. We currently offer a few cool tools like visualizations and summary statistics, and are working on adding more features. We know that it’s not possible and it’s not our intent to replace subreddits like applyingtocollege as they serve as good forums to have conversations and offeseek advice, but our hope is to make it far easier to share, view, and interpret college admissions results.
Right now, IU only has 8 data points and we were looking to see if any students who applied within the last couple years would be interested in boosting that number up by submitting their data! It should only take a few minutes and would be super helpful not just to us, but to high school students as well. For full transparency, you will need to sign in to our website with your google account, but feel free to use a burner. All posted data points are anonymous and are used solely to help people get a better understanding of college admissions decisions.

2023.05.13 23:30 Awesome_Socks_69 How to apply to a U.S. undergrad college and then medical school from UK?
I’m from the UK and want to live and work in the USA,
What I’m wondering is what is the process/ how do I apply to US colleges for med undergrad like is it thru common app which I’ve heard a lot about?
And also, I’ve heard from applyingtocollege that even if I graduate from a U.S. college for undergrad, I still wont be able to get into a medical school as I’m a UK citizen and they simply won’t accept me, is this true and so would I need some sort of visa or something?
And would I be able to get a student loan or would I be entirely depend on financial aid, if so how would I get financial aid?
Sorry if I sound clueless I’m just new to this and very confused.
Thanks

2023.05.13 19:40 Awesome_Socks_69 Is it possible to get into a U.S. college for undergrad then go to a U.S. med school as someone from the UK?
I’m in my second to last year of high school and want to live and practice in the US
So I was wondering is it possible / how would I go about getting into a U.S. college for undergrad, then getting into a U.S. med school
I’ve been told by some people on applyingtocollege that getting into a U.S. med school as a UK citizen despite doing all 4 years of undergrad in the US is impossible
Thanks

Honestly it's just such a toxic cesspool of people desperate to get into only the best colleges, they determine their entire self-worth on whether they get into a top school.
JK it's just because I enrolled in a college so my process is over.

Update from this post: (1) UIUC ECE admit rates by residency, gender, and year (2019-2022) : ApplyingToCollege (reddit.com)
Today, FOIA office emailed me saying that they had incorrect data in the table and they sent me a corrected one.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e7BmiEJ2NHRMuLfCgH97EMYyfpfYCEyH/view?usp=sharing
The acceptance rate is generally lower than what it said in the previous file with 20-ish percent for oos and intl and 30% for in-state for CE.

2023.04.27 05:21 InevitableCommand801 Prospective Freshman: Help me decide between JHU and UCLA for mechanical engineering! (Copy and pasted from r/applyingtocollege)
Intended major: Mechanical Engineering
Additional Context: Hoping to go into industry, but interested in going to graduate school and getting a phd
Johns Hopkins University Pros:
In terms of academics, I think that JHU is probably a bit better, but that UCLA doesn't fall too far behind, although I'm super unsure about this. It feels like I'm making a decision between having a really strong academic experience versus a strong academic experience with a social life. Here are a few specific questions that I think would give me a lot of clarity:

Additional Context: Hoping to go into industry, but interested in going to graduate school and getting a phd
Johns Hopkins University Pros:
- Amazing research opportunities and funding for projects, will definitely help with grad school admissions
- Small class size, easy access to professors
- Lots of academic flexibility in choosing majors and double majoring --- I know someone who got to dive into a really cool field of study as an undergrad because he was able to double major
- Hands-on courses
- T10 uni lol, but I'm super unclear about whether that makes a big difference for graduate school and jobs (see more on this at the end of my post)
- 80-90k tuition (no scholarship, but my parents are willing to pay for either school)
- Super med focused?
- Really academically rigorous, but I'm willing to put in that effort
- When I visited, albiet during midterm season, there wasn't really any "buzz" on campus -- it was weirdly quieter than any other college I've seen, including ones with similar class sizes. It could be that it's just harder to see as an outsider. I definitely do think that there's a social life if you try to find one, and that things like house parties exist at JHU
- In Baltimore: On top of kind of quiet on campus, it didn't really feel like there were many places nearby that... had people. I went to Mount Vernon on a Sunday afternoon after being recommended by a bunch of people, but it was literally empty lmao. While JHU is close to Washington DC (and as much as I love exploring), realistically I don't think I'll be going very often.
- Beautiful campus and weather, so much life on campus
- Smack in LA. I think that there's a type of vitality and inspiration that comes with being in a lively city with many places nearby to explore.
- In-state tuition (~40k) + Alumni Scholarship (Like 1.5k a year, not really sure what other perks the scholarship has)
- Closer to home
- Work hard play hard culture
- Large public school more competitive research opportunities?
- I'm struggling to find a strong impression of what the mechanical engineering program or academics are like at UCLA, which leads me to believe that it's great, but more standard
- Mechanical engineering classes are all really theoretical rather than hands-on, prototyping classes aren't amazing from what I've heard
- I've heard that the university invests more in the graduate program than the undergraduate program
- Class selection is kind of based on luck, could either be easy-ish to get your classes or super hard
In terms of academics, I think that JHU is probably a bit better, but that UCLA doesn't fall too far behind, although I'm super unsure about this. It feels like I'm making a decision between having a really strong academic experience versus a strong academic experience with a social life. Here are a few specific questions that I think would give me a lot of clarity:
- Is there a substantial difference between name/prestige/entrance into graduate school between either school? Specifically, is JHU's higher ranking and academic experience worth giving up being in the city?
- Where do you guys (JHU Students) find daily inspiration, if that makes any sense? Especially for people who like to explore, where do you guys go to feel alive again after a heck ton of studying?

submitted by m332 to csMajors [link] [comments]
Data sourced from https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-centeuc-alumni-earnings.
Some notes:
- Originally posted to /applyingtocollege. Thought it was relevant here too.
- Data is adjusted for inflation, all figures are in 2019 dollars.
- Data is as recent of September 2022.
- Data was originally collected by the university through the EDD. It was not self-reported.
- Data is only on graduates who stayed to work in California.
- It's not very clear what constitutes a cs major. Idk if Ling+CS, Math+CS, CSE etc are counted.
- Mean earnings jumps around a lot more wildly (presumably due to the occasional founder or early engineer who made it big lol) so I focused more on median.
- There was no data on UCM.
- There is no adjustment for cost of living. I do not know who lives and works where.
- UCB is clearly and significantly ahead of the rest at all career stages. It's got a CS program that makes a case for best in the world and a prime location to work in tech.
- UCLA starts out ahead of the pack (minus Berkeley) at early career, but seems to lose its lead and join the pack after a few years. There isn't as much data for late career but at some point it seems to pull out ahead of the middle earning schools again.
- UCSC performs quite a bit better than its perceived rank would suggest. Go banana slugs. UCI performs a bit worse than its perceived rank would suggest? Both are probably due to location.
- Entry level at a FAANG can pay 200K+, mid level 270K+, and senior beyond that. This puts you well above the average earnings for all schools, including UCB. Clearly most do not make it into FAANG, don't fixate on it.
2023.04.17 07:06 cutestnpc Tuition 📈 serotonin 📉
I won't go into too much detail but basically I feel very guilty that my dad will have to pay so much for me to go to college. I'm an international student so tuiton is mad high because I can't get federal aid and scholarships are super limited. We discussed finances today and I just started crying in front of him because I just feel so guilty that he'll go through such a hard time because of me. I don't think I'll be able to even sleep or think about anything else and I just want to know how to get rid of this feeling. And also I'm sorry bc I know this subreddit is for worse things but applyingtocollege wouldn't let me post it :(

2023.04.12 16:56 Awesome_Socks_69 Is it normal for 6th formers to have as many achievements and extra curricula as American students when applying to university?
I was browsing applyingtocollege and collegeresults and looking at the applications of some of the people there
Then I see that loads of them own business profiting 200k a year, gold international finalist in a bunch of international maths and science competitions, gave speeches at the White House, captain for 50 different sports teams and made it to olympics, have started several charities and foundations that has raised thousands of dollars; and then I still see them being rejected from some top colleges like Harvard or MIT
I was just wondering if these immense things are needed for our UK uni applications to places like Oxbridge
Thanks.

I was just wondering if these immense things are needed for our UK uni applications to places like Oxbridge
Thanks.

Essays/LORs/Other:
Poured my heart into these essays. Personal statement was about living at risk of neurological disorder and how it motivated me to pursue medicine and neuro. Had AP Lang. teacher review and he said it’s the best he’s seen. Supps were very good too imo.
Worst essays were USC’s and Hopkins (7/10) Best were the ivies, Michigan, Duke (9/10)
LOinterviews:
Chem — 8/10. She really liked me but I’m guessing she’s not the most compelling writer

Rotary Advisor — 9/10. Loves me and had a creative writer help her write.
Interviews:
Harvard: 9/10, he said I had the most nonprofit work he’s seen and had an extremely impressive academic profile. He also said he recommended me for admissions which he does for about 1/2 of applicants. I made it clear Harvard was my first choice — 1/2 true.
Princeton: 8/10 slightly worse since it was online and shorter. He was really interested in neuro tho and we talked about neuro + music because he was in the choir there.

2023.03.22 05:58 bethebumblebee Does Purdue release all RD rejections together?
We’re going crazy at applyingtocollege. Purdue is releasing the decisions in waves but so far the Purdue decisions megathread only has acceptances. The waves seem to be 1. International acceptances, followed by 2. OOS acceptances. I’m assuming this week will be in-state acceptances but what about rejections? Nobody seems to have received a rejection in RD as of yet. Did this happen in the same way last year? Were all rejections released on the same day?
