What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Many admits led or founded something, such as a nonprofit, a business, or a club president or captain role (DECA, honor societies, service clubs, tennis).
- Many admits had hands-on work or internships tied to their major, such as health, software, law offices or public health.
- Admits in public health and biology often paired volunteering with some research and a leadership or Eagle Scout record.
- Early Action was common among admits who named a round (7 of 14), with 4 RD and 3 no-round.
- GPAs and scores varied: admits reported GPAs from about 3.0 to 4.0 and SAT scores of roughly 1210-1590, so no single cutoff showed.
- Students report early admits getting merit awards of about $25k-31k per year, and a small sample of EA admits with GPAs near 3.4-3.8 and SATs of 1240-1440.
- Students report some decisions arrive as a mailed packet with no email, and merit amounts may be unknown at first.
