yeah.....
it seems that stony is a crap shoot.....
alfie, your DAT is a bit low for Stony. also, you may wanna remind yourself that there are students with higher stats than yours who are not even gonna hear back from stony anytime before march. what i am tryin to say is that if i were you, i'd start considering NYU and Pitt very seriously. compare both and see where you'd fit more. do not keep your expectations high with regards to stony. Also, keep in mind that if you told stony that they are your top choice, then you kinda dug your own grave. stony considers its most interested applicants the last because it knows that those would accept its offer no matter how late it is made. in other words, the most interested applicants are taken for granted and thrown to the back of the pile. those who get considered first are the ones with super stats or super connections. also, after the first acceptance batch for the pre december interviewees goes out, not more than 10 slots remain. from december first to the end of february, about 100 people interview. which means that the chance of gettin in is 1 in 10. so 9 applicants have to be rejected so that you can get accepted. and that's where your DAT would hurt you. the wait list is really short. and to make it to the waitlist, you do need at least a 20 AA. anyway, my intention is to shed some light and give you a more realistic picture of what you're up against.
good luck
Anyone else in the same boat? I wish they would just let me know even if it's a rejection
