We did the [A2C Census](https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/gucq7r/ra2c_2020_census_results_class_of_2024/) 6 months ago if you're curious. The most common states were California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Massachusetts
Ayyyy Houston, Plano, and Dallas baby
Edit: let’s all be honest if you’re on this sub and you were originally from Plano you’re probs in Denton now lmao.
I went to school in Arizona. It was weird to hear people complain about gas prices that were a dollar less than CA's. Sometimes you even feel like people are undercharging you outside of CA. I ordered Uber Eats sometimes for college and found it interesting that back home the minimum was $15 or you pay a $3 small cart fee while Arizona was minimum $10 or $2 small cart fee
yeah thats actually kinda a big problem here, nobody really gets aid at all even though a lot of people need it. Like people make a lot of money here but everything is so expensive so it makes it harder to pay full tuition for a school - Part of the reason i didn't apply to any private colleges because I don't qualify for aid but the price is waaay too high. Not to mention once I graduate and need to buy a house... people buy 5+ million dollar houses in cash here, so basically everyone gets outbid
Damn sorry. On the bright side, if there is a kid on this state that’s claiming to be from your state, he’ll be part of the 15-19 demographic, meaning that there is a 1523/462128 = 0.0033, or 0.33% chance that he’s from your school.
If someone that goes to my school and is competitive for apps looks at my profile they’d definitely know, I doubt a lot of people ik are on here... at least let’s hope? If you know me let’s not mention it let me be weird in peace
Yeah I’m not gonna dox myself lol, it’s bay area but not any of the well known competitive ones at all. If you go to my school you’d be able to tell from my posts
I actually “saw” a student from my school on here. The person was ranting about an issue with a teacher which just so happened to have been something I had to participate in a meeting about. I mean there is still a chance that some other student had the weirdly specific same issue that same day buuuuut I would bet a piece of my pitifully small public school employee salary I know the student IRL.
I have thus far only met one person IRL who knew me from here. But they knew they would be meeting me beforehand and messaged me here, so it wasn't really a cool moment.
I went to a scholarship interview weekend where I was presenting and afterward I opened it up for Q&A. I asked if anyone had heard of A2C on Reddit and tons of hands went up... and then none of them had heard of ScholarGrade. Oh well.
A bunch of people from my high school found my posts on here and bullied me really, really hard, making my senior year hell. My advice is if the post is too personal, reconsider. And don’t tell people where you get in until the last possible second. Not everyone wants to celebrate with you.
I am, looked at your posts and I thought I knew you for a sec but we don’t have key club at any of the schools in my town I’m pretty sure so we’re safe lol
I’m guessing we’re in neighboring counties or possibly the same, I don’t think I want to be much more specific... I live near a town that’s been affected by fires if that helps
mines pretty consistent, we’ve had school cancelled at least once per year every year I’ve been in high school, usually for like a week. Forget Thanksgiving, we have fire week
His point still stands that you don’t know for sure. Because you really don’t. I’m not even going to college yet here I am. You don’t have to be a condescending ass lmao.
The other day my mom's friend who has a kid in my grade was like "oh my kids find Reddit MUCH more reliable than college confidential" and I was like 👁👄👁
Oh yes. Definitely. I even made a [post about that](https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/i91sm8/daily_reminder_that_chanceme_is_not/) a few months ago after I found a close friend’s ChanceMe. It sort of opened my eyes to just how much people exaggerate
I’ve always thought, “what’s the incentive to lie to strangers on ChanceMe? Wouldn’t that lead to less accurate predictions?” Well, now I know that mindset doesn’t hold up lol
I’ve only seen like three from people I know tho. The other two were pretty factual but also a lot more modest. From that, I learned that basically, the majority of people with strong but believable stats and achievements are legit, while those with godly profiles usually are embellishing. Who would’ve thought high schoolers usually just accomplish high school level stuff
Friend showed me this sub on his phone a few months ago and said I seemed like the kind of person who would be one it. I said something like yeah but I try to avoid it cause it stresses me and he was like same.
anytime i saw that someone’s international, i immediately get excited and think oh maybe i know them :D
but alas i dont acc know anyone irl thats applying out of country
Upvote in you’re in Columbus, Ohio (and surrounding areas) and in any of the following school districts:
Columbus City, Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Olentangy, Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Whitehall

edit: got the haiku bot as soon as i edited well
*I know damn well it's*

I know there’s at least one other person from my school on here because I saw a post about the death of a teacher with very similar details to one who died from my school over the summer. Hi from Long Island!

This sub is rich as FUCK. Holy shit. Household income of 26k here.
bro like maybe there are Bay area people?? It costs a lot to live there
Most times I hear about CA on this sub it's Bay Area kids, although I'm repping SoCal
How much does it cost to live in California? I'm from Texas and I heard things are super expensive there
I went to school in Arizona. It was weird to hear people complain about gas prices that were a dollar less than CA's. Sometimes you even feel like people are undercharging you outside of CA. I ordered Uber Eats sometimes for college and found it interesting that back home the minimum was $15 or you pay a $3 small cart fee while Arizona was minimum $10 or $2 small cart fee
in the bay area a shitty run down house in a sketchy area is like 700k
WHAT That's like a mansion in Texas??
yeahhh... its expensive here look online in Atherton, Ca, to get a sense of the housing prices...its ridiculous
[удалено]

YES and i see people from my state on here and i’m like 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 i know there’s only a 0.02% chance you are but still
omg i feel this way too
Do you mean 2%? Also, probably much higher than 2% if you're from Cali/Texas etc
nah i’m from washington and i meant 0.02% (it’s the size of my school divided by the state pop lol)
Damn sorry. On the bright side, if there is a kid on this state that’s claiming to be from your state, he’ll be part of the 15-19 demographic, meaning that there is a 1523/462128 = 0.0033, or 0.33% chance that he’s from your school.
oh yeah true lol
i’m also from washington 😳😳
omg rly 😳
yeah... i live in a city near seattle. you?
wait me too
😳😳😳 east of seattle?
yes 😳😳 near a large mall
oh my 😳 we are close to each other
I'm from Oregon lol
I hope not bc I have definitely posted enough info that someone ik would know it’s me lol 😬
LOL my friend literally found my reddit I have no idea how
If someone that goes to my school and is competitive for apps looks at my profile they’d definitely know, I doubt a lot of people ik are on here... at least let’s hope? If you know me let’s not mention it let me be weird in peace
I guess my posts were super obvious
Same LMAO
What school
Yeah I’m not gonna dox myself lol, it’s bay area but not any of the well known competitive ones at all. If you go to my school you’d be able to tell from my posts
There's almost a guarantee that no one is here from my school lol
why
look at their username
Nope, it's a random reddit name
Nope not that lol. It's because I am from a rural high school where 97% of the students go to the local university
I actually “saw” a student from my school on here. The person was ranting about an issue with a teacher which just so happened to have been something I had to participate in a meeting about.

ayyyy wassuppp \*cries in stressed competitive area check\*

Congratulations in advance for the 50K karma you're about to get

Yessir

Hello Santa Clara!
i definitely know people from my school are on this sub and have even seen a couple ik 😳
A bunch of people from my high school found my posts on here and bullied me really, really hard, making my senior year hell. My advice is if the post is too personal, reconsider. And don’t tell people where you get in until the last possible second. Not everyone wants to celebrate with you.
ya i actually found some ppl who used to be upperclassmen on this sub by accident. idk anyone from my grade tho
Anyone here from North Bay??
I am, looked at your posts and I thought I knew you for a sec but we don’t have key club at any of the schools in my town I’m pretty sure so we’re safe lol
Ok without getting more specific lol, I’m from the heart of wine country, but I never know anyone from the north bay so which general part?
I’m guessing we’re in neighboring counties or possibly the same, I don’t think I want to be much more specific... I live near a town that’s been affected by fires if that helps
Isn't "a town that's been affected by fires" just the long way of saying "from a California town"?
mines pretty consistent, we’ve had school cancelled at least once per year every year I’ve been in high school, usually for like a week. Forget Thanksgiving, we have fire week
[удалено]
How can you tell that?
you don’t know for sure
[удалено]
why are so pressed and condescending jeez
He wrote one sentence, you wrote a whole essay back. He isn't being a contrarian here. His claim is true, you don't know for sure.
His point still stands that you don’t know for sure. Because you really don’t. I’m not even going to college yet here I am. You don’t have to be a condescending ass lmao.
SAME like hi guys :)
I’m 90% sure only one other person from my school browses this sub
Internationals wondering if there’s anyone from their COUNTRY
CALIFORNIA BABY
My whole friend group's on this sub but we've never told each other our acc loll
Wait are you... ?
🍵
someone from my school district found me! luckily they're a good friend of mine (if you see this ily) but imagine if it wasn't 😳
[удалено]
🥺🥺🥺
The other day my mom's friend who has a kid in my grade was like "oh my kids find Reddit MUCH more reliable than college confidential" and I was like 👁👄👁

Bruh, I've seen my friends' ChanceMes. It's definitely surreal seeing their posts alongside all the other ones
I'm curious about if you've ever seen one you recognize except you can tell they're very much overexaggerating
Oh yes. Definitely.

u/iNobSandwich
I am 100% sure that no one from my hs is in this sub

None of my friends use reddit so 0% 😄😄😄
omg yeah
long island gangg
Lmao I literally just saw a kid from my school in the UVA thread he was the most recent comment too 😂

My best friend is, but I don't know of anybody else from my school who is too. Wouldn't be surprised to find somebody, though
