Well, aren't you guys special!

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?

Agree wholeheartedly. 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.

o.O I actually didn't know that... although I don't drink lol. 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 see from your blog that you have a hard time deciding school cuz of price... USC is pretty damn harsh on students in the lower income bracket, well, not even, just anyone who isnt in the top income bracket.

Admitted: NC State University Appalachian State University
Rejected: No where because I didn't apply anywhere else, application fees suck.
Going to NC State if the financial aid package looks good. Parents aren't paying anything for me and I have barely any money to my name..

Wow this is really depressing.
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.

Accepted:
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.
|
Accepted: Yale applied early action and got accepted in December so I didn't apply anywhere else. Been waiting for months for this brag thread

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

Getting your applications in on time is so important. My top pick school didn't get my application on time because of my schools retarded guidance councelors. But alas, I'm glad with my current school.
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.

Because I'm switching major too I feel the need to come here and watch the long list of people accepted into College dreaming my applications will go through too. Of course, I already have a Bachelor and I should have a Master if I wasn't such a massive screw-up so it's not exactly the same. And even though I know my admission process is nothing like the US ones, I need friends so I am !
|
So I feel I got lucky with my Apps, only got denied (It was not an explicit denial but my school forgot to send my 4 year transcript).
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.
|
This thread reminds me just how insane the American university system is. The university where I just finished my Masters is 43rd in the world in my area, and the Masters tuition was $6,000 total, which is around US$4,900.
Congratulations to all accepted, though!

Admitted: The Ohio state University The Penn State University and The University of Cincinnati
Rejected: N/A
My major is aerospace engineering, if it weren't for damn out of state fees my first choice would be Penn State but I guess Im gonna settle for Ohio State which isn't bad because MLG Columbus' are right down the street :D
