Applied: No where. Going: Saint Petersburg College. Community! Reading all these responses and acceptances makes me feel like shit. Most things in life i've sucked at, but have at least fallen back to "well, my future will probably be good, through my intellect," but uhh, this isn't looking like the case. Fun stuff. | ||

The clairemont colleges, where harvey mudd is, throws mad parties. The school gives the dorms money to spend on beer so the students don't go out to the bars in clairemont, which there are a few great ones. I've been to a party there before where there was someone who was too drunk so the school paid for the ambulance to the hospital and for the taxi on the way back the next morning. They take care of you there. The whole point of college i see people missing is that they are the best 4 years of your life. Care-free as fuck, you can literally do whatever you want. Fuck bitches, get money, drink until you black out. All with almost zero backfire as long as you keep your studies in line. | ||

Don't get down man. CC's are cool. It becomes what you make of it. So whatever your dream is of college you fucking make it happen  | ||

 I'm so scared for college applications, I didn't get my priorities straight until last year, so I feel super far behind. Anyone know someone going to MIT or CalTech that I could talk to? | ||

I've studied extensively at both and I'd say calc II at community college was harder (and also instructed more professionally) than higher level stats I took at a 4 year university. In general though, junior college courses were pretty closely comparable. Obv there's the prestige factor, but if you study something remotely legitimate and perform well, you will have 0 trouble transferring. | ||

I got some financial aid and I'm applying to a ton of outside scholarships, which will hopefully cover a great deal of the expense. My parents are paying for a lot too  | ||

I honestly expected better from TL regulars. Accounting for selection bias, (as topics like these usually turn out to be brag threads) this is not an impressive showing. | ||

Harvard Cornell UChicago Northwestern Yale Rejected: Stanford (go figure) Honestly I'm amazed I got in after seeing a bunch of people with perfect ACTs and SATs getting rejected. I'm Hispanic so that's a major boost. Also my interviews and essays were top notch, all interviewers said I was x-college material. I'm probably going to Harvard for class of 2016. :D Stats: 3.9 UW 33 ACT 2250 SAT Took 11 APs (8 5s, 3 4s) Average EC's for an elite college-bound kid AP Scholar awards, National Merit Semi-Finalist, etc. etc. | ||

Yale applied early action and got accepted in December so I didn't apply anywhere else. Been waiting for months for this brag thread I'm probably going to Harvard for class of 2016. :D That's super lame. Are you at least going to bulldog days for Yale? EDIT: tried to make it so that my quote would actually quote the guy who said it, but I have no idea how to do that. Ivy league problem solving right here | ||

I'm also wondering, how much emphasis do you put into a schools academic credentials? Looking back, I'm so glad I went to my current school instead of my top pick. That school was only better by a slight margin, except everyone in my state who's a tool goes there. | ||

Accepted: RIT Cornell Penn State Collage of Technology Champlain UNH 'Denied'- RPI I am going to be going to RIT or Champlain because of their Co-op/internship system which is pretty awesome if you are in a hands on field like Computer Science. Also; I never planned on going to Cornell, I wanted to see if I could get in based on my essay mostly revolving around how my Father, Mother and eldest brother all graduated from Cornell. | ||
