Lol I love all the people like "Go to this critically acclaimed school." Many people can't handle the teaching styles of their college professors. I know the valedictorian of the class that graduated before me went to Columbia because she thought she liked it and the reviews were good. She flunked out because it wasn't the same teaching style as high school. Keep that in mind, that even when you take college courses your senior year (AP, IB included), the teachers still tend to bias towards you being a high schooler sometimes. Not always, but it happens more often than not.

if you get into a prestigious school you most likely can "handle" the professors there

your valedictorian friend story is by far the rare exception of something going wrong, i've like never heard of people flunking out of college because the teaching style was different

i mean whats so hard about undergrad classes anyway, its a giant lecture hall, you go, do the reading, and volunteer when you know what you're talking about, how do you flunk out of that because of "style"

College professors expect a certain degree of maturity from students, and if you're still stuck in a high school mindset, you're just going to flounder.

How different is it in college? For one thing, I heard that you have to learn to take notes fast and only important things. Can you bring in laptops to classes and just type them?

Yes you can bring in laptops to lecture, depending on the class but aside from math or physics, a lot of kids bring laptop.

I prefer to write with pen/notebook then type it up while studying the concept!

yeah lecture is very lenient. You can bring a laptop, type your notes, do it old school and write them, you can use a tablet, you can even record your teacher's lecture (up to a certain amount for Duke at least) with the professor's permission. The lecture speed here isn't that fast, and the materials are usually on powerpoint which the teacher usually posts up on the school site. Also teachers aren't coming after your ass if you miss a lecture and shit, so it's all YOUR responsibility. And Hot_Bid, although I agree with your points in general, not all undergrad classes are straight up easy, it's not always about doing the reading and going to lectures, it's a lot more than that, it's a lot of personal investment to understand everything and stuff especially for a lot of math and science classes. However, yeah, it's not flunking out because of "style"... that's just a bad way to put things.

I prefer to handwrite stuff as well. I think it's a proven fact that you absorb more when you handwrite than type. So... yep!

Most colleges are notorious for taking people taking math and putting them through the shithole that are proofs. They expect you to know how to do them, only you get raped in the process. The class average for the last test was a 50 or something. Thank god it was curved upward like 40 points...lol

The amount of attractive females at UNCW is beyond belief...

...honestly. I have never seen so many hot girls in one place.

If I weren't already going to Western Carolina, I'd be in UNCW.

Although the small drinking cups at Wag are definitely a downside.

Some professors show slides for 12 seconds that you have no choice but to use a laptop if you want to write down even the words on the slide. This is not always the case but it was the case for me for one of my classes that I had to use a laptop or else I would miss out on stuff.

So i recommend investing in a laptop if you have the budget since it can definitely help a lot in my opinion.


UC San Diego, I feel this UC is slightly underrated since everybody talks about UCLA or Berkeley. This is still a great school that you should be proud of if you get in.

+ Some Amazing Departments that are better than UCLA's/CAL's (Biology?)

+/- Some of the 6 campuses are deathly quiet

+ Food is not bad

- Girls are ugly (as stated before for emphasis)

I'd put more except most of the stuff I'd input are seemingly true rumors, I'd have to talk to my friends at SD about this college.

UCLA continued:

+UCLA is much cheaper for what I feel is better overall academics although USC is #1 in film and great in Business and Acting.




Don't get me wrong USC and UCLA are both great schools its just that USC is very pricey.

lmfao I highly doubt that. I can see a high school doing that, but not a college. Colleges don't have such a restricting grip on students.

Seriously. You'd only be hurting yourself, anyway.

Hell, if you wanted to surf the web, you probably wouldn't show up to class. In large lecture classes, professors could care less if you showed up, and the only thing that really matters are your midterms and finals.

What schools are you looking at Mr. Koh?

what about YOU jono?


Wow... way to answer a question with another question....

My top possibly realistic choice (although I still don't know if i'll get in+get money) is Washington University in St. Louis. I'm also applying to the University of Denver. Anyone here go there or know anything about it? I live in Kansas City so St. Louis and Denver are both appealing for their drivabiity while not being too close. I'm also applying to Stanford/Princeton for some reason even though I won't get in because i'm not a motherfuckin' astronaut or anything like that or a leader for the future.

You?

edit: I was oblivious to my 2000th post It was the post before I made this one in some strategy thread. Now I am a dt though. I will find ray, and chop ray, and his armies will not be alerted because of my 1 hit kill capabilities. muahhahahha


Apply to UChicago Arco
it's not too close and we have starcraft. And we have a higher acceptance rate thatn Wash U.

also I will personally get you beer or w/e. Except hot girls, those are a commodity here.

Srsly UChi is just a big school full of nerds. Even the bros are WoW nerds... lol.


Hmmm yea I might think about it. Is it an expensive private school though? I'd need a scholarship probably (as I'll need for WashU as well if I even get in.) Either scholarship or need-based aid w/e.
