Went to uni last century here in the UK (native Brit).

Much much more difficult now for you all and I feel for you all. The idea of fees for our elite students is pure folly. Shame on them.

Good luck all.

I'm paying cash for each semester, and would really love some financial help. Fastweb and all of the other leading sites seem to be worthless. Any clever ways of getting oneself noticed for scholarships or discovering lesser-known ones?

According to his now-removed LinkedIn, Luigi Mangione graduated in 2020 with a Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science. He was also his high school's Valedictorian, did wrestling, and currently works as a data engineer in California.

To many of you, he was living the Ivy League dream. He probably had some good ECs too, I'm just guessing.

Anyways, always remember your school's alumni!

Dear Harvard Admissions,

Thank you for your interest in giving me a Harvard rejection letter.

I have reviewed your letter and I am impressed with your rejection reasons and other suggestions. However, I have received many rejection letters this year. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided not to accept your rejection letter.

Please understand this is not a negative evaluation of your rejection letter, but rather a reflection of my unique choice criteria.

Once again, I appreciate your courage to give me a rejection letter and wish you every success in your future rejecting.

I'll see you all on campus in August!

Best wishes.

Replace with your dream college and get to work, happy acceptances!
