So did you get into any of your reach schools?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What's a reach school? You're telling me there are schools that people aren't competitive for?

Sorry, considering this is SDN I figured I'd get that out of the way.

Schools a couple of points or more higher than your LizzyM score :] or any Top 20 if you didnt have above a 35 mcat/3.85+++
 
I didn't really apply to any reach schools; all the schools I applied to were in my stats range. I did get into my two top choices, both mid-range schools (both off the waitlist).
 
I'll come back to this thread after I hear back from Yale :laugh:
 
I got a secondary from Harvard woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They must really think I'm smart.

Haha no, but I'm framing the rejection letter.

Dear Shenanigans,

It is clear that you are not pompous enough for Harvard.

Kind of sick of people thinking that Harvard is pompous just because it's the best school in the nation. Dat jealousy

Well, it IS pompous, and that probably has a lot to do with it being the best school in the nation
 
Coming from personal experience, a lot of kids at Ivy League schools are pretty pretentious. To call Harvard "pompous" is a stereotype, but all stereotypes have a basis in reality.

Doesn't validate the use of a stereotype. There are a lot of half-truths that have some basis.

But personally, I've had a fair bit of experience with Harvard and pompous really does fit over 70% of my interaction with professors/administrators there. It seems less common in the students but still plenty to go around. But the administrators and professors, just wow.
