Outgoing High School Seniors

[apoemtothedead]

Where are you off to you next year?



I'm going to Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Niagara University in Lewiston, NY.

But the closer I get to going there, and the more I hear about it, the more I think I'm going to hate it there.

Too bad I'm already enrolled. I give it one/two semesters before I'm going to UB (SUNY Buffalo). Or community college, depending on what major I'm doing.

[Mitch]

I'm only a junior, but I plan on going to Columbia College (in Chicago) when I graduate although I'm not sure going so far away from home is a good idea for the first year.

[colorlesscliche]

I'd so go for it, unless you are really close to your family.

i've heard that school is very, very good.

[Mitch]

i've heard that school is very, very good.

Cool. See, the thing is, I'm not sure what I want to do exactly. It HAS to be something to do with the music industry, but I'd like it to involve writing and graphic design or something. I'd also like to learn audio production.

[annn]

I'm also only a junior... looking into Boston U, USC (DREAM SCHOOL), UNC- Chapel Hil, and UT.

I wish I was a senior :( One more year of HS does not seem very appealing.

Boston is a great college town. With something like 300,000 kids in a 50 miles radius there are so many people to meet and such.

[YearsGoneBy]

Northeastern University in Boston

[roxy]

Boston is a great college town. With something like 300,000 kids in a 50 miles radius there are so many people to meet and such.
Yes it is. There is so much to do it will take you all 4 years to get to see and do everything you want.

[roxy]

Northeastern University in Boston
Are you going to do the 5 year program or 4 year program or is it totally different. When I applied I wanted to do less co-op and graduate in 4 years.

[sharpenup]

I havent got accepted but I will and Im going to go to Portland State University. The admissions guy said any oregon person with over a 3.0 gets in automatically. I have a 3.5 or 3.7 [weighted] and I have almost a 1300 on SATs so if I dont get in.... wtf.
Its the only college I applied to because:
1. Its cheap
2. Its one of the better oregon schools
3. I want my parents to pay [they will only pay if i stay in state]
4. I dont know what I want to be so why spend a lot of money?
5. I dont want to leave Portland. Only other place I would go is Seattle but see reason number 3.
AND the big reason. All the money I save in comparison to my brother goes to a car. I shall be getting a $15,000 car for freshman year. Im excited.

[Brianfarg]

University of Albany

[cuetheflames]

ohio university next year.

I pretty much have the same problem.

I'm going to San Francisco State University and depending on how much I like it I'll probably just transfer over to San Diego State.

i dont know how much it interests you but...maybe look into jmu. they have a great smad program. i have some friends doing graphic design and stuff and she loooooves it. plus it is much cheaper and you are closer to md.

/end jmu plug.

i dont understand this. how can the parents want you to do the best you can when you cant even look outside at much better schools. a 3.7 with a 1300 gets you into a lot of prestigious schools. and honestly why would you spend that much money on a car? i bought mine used for 9k and it is wonderful. save yourself more cash and get one used.

there is a much bigger world out there than oregon. i feel half the experience of college should be living somewhere different from where you are. i went south and i love it. im only 4 hours from home but va has a much different feel than nj. if i stayed in-state i would have never had any experience like this.

i dont mean to berate you on your choice but it seems like you didnt even look anywhere else. it is true you dont have an idea what you want to do but im sure you have some idea of where to start. what if the school has a shitty program?

[Rebs]

I'm a junior, but I'm looking at UVA, Vanderbilt and Texas

[uh oh smmoreo]

Where are you off to you next year?



I'm going to Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.

Hey, my brother goes there. He'll be a sophomore next year.

[annn]

I'm a junior, but I'm looking at UVA, Vanderbilt and Texas

Texas is the best :D

[YearsGoneBy]

Are you going to do the 5 year program or 4 year program or is it totally different. When I applied I wanted to do less co-op and graduate in 4 years. im doing the 5 year co op

[Rebs]

Texas is the best :D
Yeah, I'm from Dallas. I was looking at SMU for a while, and then decided I wanted stronger academics, so we'll see.

[Juliana101]

Penn State University, also the kid going to Portland State, dude, there are much better schools out there and you're obviously not an idiot and your credentials are very very good.

But I'm in the same sort of bind, my parents would only pay for in-state schools, but it didn't matter to me because I've always been a Nittany Lion, and now it's just official.

[Juliana101]

I'm a junior, but I'm looking at UVA, Vanderbilt and Texas


My cousin has a 4.25, over a 1500, and his dad went to UVA and he STILL didn't get in.

To me, UVA isn't worth it. Go to Texas.

[annn]

Yeah, I'm from Dallas. I was looking at SMU for a while, and then decided I wanted stronger academics, so we'll see.

Maybe I'll see you there Fall 2007.

[fedhed7]

University of Delaware 2010.

I'm only a junior, but I plan on going to Columbia College (in Chicago) when I graduate although I'm not sure going so far away from home is a good idea for the first year. A good friend of mine is going there next year.

that is really weird.

i know some people who got like 1250 on sat and got in. it must have been other things. i know schools like uva look at a lot of other things besides sat scores.

[Juliana101]

well he lives in PA with me. So that might have had something to do with it, I heard someone once say they accept like 5% out of state.

[roxy]

im doing the 5 year co op
Well I will be right down the street. Good luck with school.

[YearsGoneBy]

Well I will be right down the street. Good luck with school. where do you go?

[roxy]

where do you go?
Emmanuel College. Its like a 5 minute walk to the NU campus.

[fire on my lips]

I'm going to American University in Washington D.C.
I'm pretty excited about it, but much happier that I have four more days of high school left.

2. Edinboro College for Photography
3. If 1 and 2 fail, take a year off and work as the manager of Rite Aid's Photo Department, then back to school.

[roxy]

Mark, we need to go to shows together. Walking home alone scares me and I am sure no one would mess with you.

[Rebs]

well he lives in PA with me. So that might have had something to do with it, I heard someone once say they accept like 5% out of state.
Yep. That's why. UVA is all about who has the most money, most connections and most popularity within VA. Out of state kids are screwed.

[apoemtothedead]

Mark, we need to go to shows together. Walking home alone scares me and I am sure no one would mess with you.
Yeah I have this "Step off, I have 22,000 posts an internet message board" aura surrounding me.

i still dont get it. my roomate at jmu is from ct. his bro went to uva. went for engineering and is now making shit tons of money. his fam is NOT that rich. i think he got like a 1300 on his sats. maybe hes an anomale?

Who knows, UVA is one of those schools that you look at some of the kids who get in and are completely dumbfounded. JMU is like that too though, I'll see really smart kids get rejected and then a student with a 2.5 get in. This year has been crazy watching the seniors.

i know jmu looks at extra curricular a lot as that was my saving grace. also having a penis helped because its only 25% guys there so as long as you have decent grades and a dude you can prob get in. haha.

[histrionics22]

haha you got the shaft. when our hs when the state championship they played at tcnj which has a very nice campus and is not in an extremely shady part of jersey.

Yea we played on TCNJ. The south jersey finals is basically the semis. My junior year we played at Mercer County College. Senior year though we played as Rutgers, Camden. Yea lost both years in the finals at TCNJ.

ouch that stinks.

i remember in an article in the star ledger for the sports section it had an article saying "where is hackettstown?" and no one gave them a chance cuz hopewell valley was like #15 in the state or something and then hackettstown ripped them a new one 2-0. i was at the game and it was intense. there whole school was there...like 3500 students while like half of my school...around 550...were there. we were outnumbered and it was getting ugly. but somehow hackettstown came out on top.

Yea my small school always had a good turn out too. It did suck losing but we always play Morris Catholic in the finals and they are alwasy top 5 in the state. Oh well. I won the baseball state championship, so that made up for it.

[Blake Solomon]

Something to think about for all of you:

I am almost done with my freshman year of college. I am pretty close to my family, but I decided I had to go far away. I am from Dallas, Texas and chose the University of Missouri-Columbia. I absolutely love it here. The idea to get away from everything high school related was the best idea I ever chose. I still love my friends from home, but it makes it even sweeter when you only see them a few times a year. This plan isnt for everyone, but all of my friends that have done it, have loved the places they went to. Im about 10 hours from home and its great. Good luck with all your choices.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

2 hours away can seem like its across the country if you are going to a place where you dont know anybody. 10 hours is pretty far away, you'll see. I'm not trying to make myself sound special or anything cuz tons of people do it, youre going far away, i believe. But its great to be able to start over.

[Blake Solomon]

are you majoring in journalism?


Yeah, Im an advertising major. It's really the only reason any out of state kids come here.

[konstantine94]

i am headed to the university of oregon and hopefully will major in journalism.

[de la sympathie]

I'm only going to be a freshman in high school next year, but I'm hoping for the Art Institute of Chicago or Columbia. If both of those fail, then I'll most likely be going to U of I; however I really want somewhere out of state if the art institute fails.

[de la sympathie]

I'm only a junior, but I plan on going to Columbia College (in Chicago) when I graduate although I'm not sure going so far away from home is a good idea for the first year.

I've been to Columbia before, and my uncle (photographer) went there. Really excellent place.

If both of those fail, then I'll most likely be going to U of I; however I really want somewhere out of state if the art institute fails. If you want somewhere out of state, and you're looking for an art school, you should check out Pratt in nyc. I visited this summer and I could tell by what I saw that some quality teaching went on in there. You should also check out RISD (rhode island school of design), it was one of my top choices but I was waitlisted.

[shane hennessey]

I will be attending The Ohio State University.

Oh my god you have no idea how amazing it feels to say that...
my best friend goes there. he absolutely loves it. pending another new orleans natural disaster in the fall, ill be there as well.

and if anyone is lookin to continue 4 more years of highschool, come to loyola university new orleans where they hold you by a leash.

ill be transfering in the spring. im lookin at Parsons in NYC which is part of New School (James Lipton) or Northeastern in boston.

[cal1082]

Yeah, I'm from Dallas. I was looking at SMU for a while, and then decided I wanted stronger academics, so we'll see.

If you're looking academics I wouldnt look towards UT (unless you're going for a law degree). Don't get me wrong, I like UT as a school and Austin is a great town but if you're goign to go somewhere based on academics then I'd look for something more than UT. Now there might be specific majors that are better there than most but for the most part a UT degree is nothing special unless it's a law degree.

[cal1082]

Either University of Oklahoma or Texas A&M... im waitlisted at A&M but i have a sexy resume and a 1270 SAT which should help

Hint...........apply for a major thats not heavily in demand. Pull a good gpa your first semester or year taking electives, then switch over to whatever major you want.

[cal1082]

hopefully the same for '07...

Yeah, but I kind of have to look in-state for a school. If I get a scholarship, that's great, but the in-state thing would really help, because of the discount. My family's just normal-blue collar, and we're always in great shape financially but out-of-state colleges are still alot of money, and if I don't get a scholarship the chances of that are lowered to almost nil. But yeah, I've heard of RISD, and I'd love to go there. Pratt I hadn't heard of but I'll keep in mind. Thanks!
