Anyone else applying to UBC Sauder? Supplemental writing sucks so hard...
Submitted my application this morning for UofC, thinking about applying to Lethbridge as well since all I have to do is submit marks. Will possibly be starting my Ivey AEO app next week

GPA isn't outstanding, like a 3.8ish and my superscore for the ACT was a 33 (33,30,35,32,9)

i honestly Don't think I'm going to get into Harvard, I'm just applying for shits and giggles pretty much. I definitely have a chance at Brown and most of the other ones though

Hate to break it to ya, but a 33 ACT isnt a solid ACT score for those schools. I got a 32 on my ACT with a 3.5 at a prep school as well as many connections but I ended up at UVM. My brother who is much smarter than me got a 34 on his ACT, 2180 SAT w/ 1 try, and a 3.5 as well at a top day school in the Boston area and ended up at William and Mary, but was told not even to bother applying to many of your listed schools.

I dont know what your ECs or rest of your list looks like, but I would throw in a few safeties.

Take or leave my advice, I dont care. Ive been through the process before and these are just a few things I have noticed.

33 is 75th percentile for Brown and many other schools, and since I've been to several of their events (camps and workshops) and have their writing coordinator reviewing my essays, I think I have a solid chance haha. regardless, I have a few safeties that I'm almost positive I can get into no problemo, like George Mason and Drexel University.

so you pretty much applied to every single ivy league.
do you even want to go to those schools or are you just trying to see if you can get into one of them for shits and giggles?

And no idea why you put muhlenburg in there

A 3.5 isn't a very good gpa especially for attempting to get into ivy league schools.

SUNY Geneseo - (3-4) optometry program
The College of New Jersey- (3-4) optometry program
Le Moyne- (3-4) optometry program
SUNY Oneonta- might be able to go for free, solid safety school
SUNY Binghamton -mother told me to apply
Middlebury- my pompous cousin didn't get in so I think it'd be funny if I did, I'd like to go but in terms of money it doesn't make sense.
Marist- mother told me to apply
Siena- mother told me to apply
 
Anyone who's applying to these same places, especially Geneseo and TCNJ, let me know.

Got into Carlson School of MGMT at the University of Minnesota.
My parents told me they'd pay for ski trips every winter if I go there, obviously more excited for me than I am for myself.

Hear back from University of Denver sometime mid- December, hoping for some $$$
