While I don't go to UVM, I do visit the campus about twice a year. I'll be up in Burlington during the fall visiting! I (along with friends) always go to away games in Hockey East for UMass Lowell. So if you like hockey, beer, and fun times, I'll hit you up the next time we go.[/QUOTE]
Awesome!
I can't say I'm a big hockey fan, but live games are always fun. Please don't forget about me! : D

Too bad you won't be in Burlington next month Rupbar. Me and a few friends are heading up there for Magic Hat Brewery and the Vermont Lake Monsters (minor league baseball). Burlington is an awesome city but the only down side - middle of nowhere. But still, you should have a blast!

Got wait listed on some program T_T

Sorry for bump but wow guys these are impressive stats. I would kill to have stuff like these. Man I want to go to Cal State Long Beach, but I f'ed up freshman and sophomore year, I'm working my butt of junior year, got to make up classes during the summer, etc.
How do you guys get a fantastic SAT score? I can barely get 1600...lol and you guys play SC like mad which should disturb you from your studies XD
But yeah, good job, if any one could answer a few questions that would be great and appreciated.
1.)Do CSU look at freshman year grades? (I messed up on my biology and Spanish I during freshman year, and those are what I'm going to be making up during summer)
2.) Are AP classes important in your CSU transcripts?
3.) You think I can make Cal State Long Beach with a 3.1 (hopefully I can achieve that by the end of my junior year)(3.3 weighted) with a SAT of 1610 (math-640, reading- 490, writing-480)
Thanks for your time to answer...oh and one more thing, I heard CSU primarily look at your math scores and critical reading, is this true?

Good luck to all of you!
I wouldn't bother sending applications to Santa Barbara or San Diego schools unless you're from there, most employers would rather hire from serious colleges than party schools. A lot of my friends are learning that the hard way :/

Berkeley is a really great school, but you're right, there are a lot of schools that are on the same level as Berkeley but are probably easier to get into. For many big schools, it has become more or a popularity contest. Take USC for example...

with anything above a 3.0 you are guaranteed admission into a UC. i would imagine that you would have no problem getting into Long Beach although i would recommend retaking your SAT
I'm not entirely sure but I think freshman grades are not counted

UCSD is anything but a party school lmao.
I chose UCLA over Berkeley, anyone else do something like that?

This thread just confused the crap out of me.
I was wondering why everybody was putting "100 hours of community service" and the likes on their resume. Took a while before I realized it was the voluntary kind and not the state mandatory one

nice, i'm an applied math major but i want a ma/phd in engineering to make myself useful

Oh hey, a thread I can contribute to.
I applied to Cal State Northridge, UC Santa Barbara, and UCLA.
Got into all of em, I start UCLA late Sept as a Philosophy major. I hope to make the leap to Princeton for graduate school.
EDIT: I'm a junior-level transfer with like 6 years on-off attendance at my local community college and maybe a 3.3 gpa. How I got into UCLA, I have no idea.
EDIT2: Grats to everyone who's gone and who's going

Good luck with Philosophy grad school. That's a tough road. I was a Phil major at Northwestern. My friend, also from NU, wanted to go for a Ph.D. program in Phil, but the acceptance rate is less that 4% of applicants. She ended up in a really good master's program tho, so only time will tell.

I got into Boston University for a masters in economics off a 3.55 and a 1380 gre. I dont have any real plans beyond that. Maybe PhD, maybe working, whatever presents itself.
I graduated with honors but I didnt do any honor societies, fraternities, extra-curriculars etc although I did apply to start a mahjong club to try and get a free trip to Japan. Then I had to study for the GRE, and instead of wasting my time playing mahjong I wasted my time watching movies lol.

Ty DrunkenArgument.
Do we have a list on this thread of who's going where, perhaps organized by school? With BNet's retarded buddy system, it might need a little help to foster community.
Besides, it'd be nice to be able to ride a mile or two and slap the guy who proxied me to death... and then buy him a beer, of course.
