I'm problably going to major in International Business. I applied to Maryland, Delaware, Scranton, Penn State, and West Chester.

[heyRomanticA__x]

please god do not go to west chester. why would you want to put yourself through another 4 years in the same place?

a great thing about college is that you can go somewhere you usually wouldnt go.

[The Matt Kaufman]

My sister went to West Chester and graduated in 99 from there and my dad went to Scranton back in the 1960s..The nice thing about going away to college is going somewhere that nobody knows you and you get to start fresh..thats what I liked about going away.

[savestheday129]

I've applied to Penn State, West Chester, Pitt, and IUP. I plan on majoring in Marketing.

[notoaststereo]

the new england institute of art - music technology
columbia college chicago - music technology/creative writing

[Juliana101]

Just go to Penn State. Main or a branch. It's just awesome.

I've applied to Penn State, West Chester, Pitt, and IUP. I plan on majoring in Marketing.

ive told you...jmu is the place to be.

we have a great marketing program and you get to go to belgium for a semester.

[UrS Truly]

please god do not go to west chester. why would you want to put yourself through another 4 years in the same place?

a great thing about college is that you can go somewhere you usually wouldnt go.

im definately not going to West Chester. if anything its just a safety school in case i feel like going somewhere close for a semester or two. My first choice is Maryland.

[savestheday129]

please god do not go to west chester. why would you want to put yourself through another 4 years in the same place?

a great thing about college is that you can go somewhere you usually wouldnt go.

Do you say that because it's just a college that's so close to him, or you just don't like that college?

[savestheday129]

Just go to Penn State. Main or a branch. It's just awesome.

If I don't get accepted to Main, I'm pretty sure I won't be going to Penn State. I've visited Penn State York and Altoona. It seemed like 13th and 14th grade...

the new england institute of art - music technology

columbia is really an amazing place. i went to their open house a couple weeks ago and was blown away.

[selftitled85]

because its so close to him.

[NameTaken69]

im applying to UConn, UDel, U Maryland, and maybe UNC chapel hill

[NameTaken69]

and going in undecided

[cfear]

don't go to college. you will regret it. seriously. fight the system by not going to college. if you go you will be writing a paper on marriage practices in the kashmir at 2 in the morning and still have to read over fifty pages for history, and you have less than 7 hours to do it all while masturbating and watching adult swim!!!

but seriously, college is so easy you will instantly feel like you are wasting time. and i go to a great school.

[squared82]

If I don't get accepted to Main, I'm pretty sure I won't be going to Penn State. I've visited Penn State York and Altoona. It seemed like 13th and 14th grade...

I think Penn State Erie's the only branch worth going too.. cause its like self sufficient, and has state of the art engineering stuff... but I'm at main, so I really can't say anything, cause I'm a little bias.

[lucky_krystle]

IU has a great business school, the kelley school of business. i am partial to purdue though, thats where i am, in the school of engineering and technology. i like it a lot. so i suggest making a move to the midwest, it will be a nice change for you!

[Punkrocker92]

NC State = Best college in my area.

[avengedtbs]

ive applied early decision to the University of Rochester and if i dont get in there im also going to apply to Syrcause, Rochester Institute of Technology, and possibly Clarkson.....ill major in mechanical engineering and minor in business

[Rebs]

I applied to the University of Georgia's Honors School, Stanford and the University of Texas. If I don't go with my scholarship stuff to Georgia, I'll apply to UCLA as well.

I want to major in Biology (Pre-Med) and minor in Spanish.

[SilverStar89]

Northeastern. Hofstra. University of Delaware. American. SUNYs. Boston U.

[LeftWideOpen]

Northeastern. Hofstra. University of Delaware. American. SUNYs. Boston U.

don't go to NU ... the only thing good about that school is the co-op. BU is a much better school.

[thejetstolehome]

Northeastern. Hofstra. University of Delaware. American. SUNYs. Boston U.

noooooo hofstra. no no no. i was there last year and i advise against that. it feels EXACTLY like high school. academically, it's decent but i really didn't like it that much. it's a fun school if you're visiting for a night or something but going there is a different story.

[thejetstolehome]

don't go to NU ... the only thing good about that school is the co-op. BU is a much better school.

i loved NEU when i visited it for a few days to see a friend in Jan. maybe it was just the fact that i absolutely loved the city of boston--except for the whole, ya know, red sox thing. ;-) if BU or NEU weren't so expensive, i probably would've transferred up there instead of to uconn. but, alas, $30K/year makes a huge difference.

[Chancetobe]

ive applied early decision to the University of Rochester and if i dont get in there im also going to apply to Syrcause, Rochester Institute of Technology, and possibly Clarkson.....ill major in mechanical engineering and minor in business

Seriously... engineering Case Western. This is a really good school for that. And we have a business school too....

[selftitled85]

Northeastern. Hofstra. University of Delaware. American. SUNYs. Boston U.

i do not like american and the dorms at udel are blah. hofstra and suny i know nothing about.

nu ive heard is good but most people i know who applied their and jmu and got into both chose jmu. haha

[LeftWideOpen]

i loved NEU when i visited it for a few days to see a friend in Jan. maybe it was just the fact that i absolutely loved the city of boston--except for the whole, ya know, red sox thing. ;-) if BU or NEU weren't so expensive, i probably would've transferred up there instead of to uconn. but, alas, $30K/year makes a huge difference.

yeah i mean NEU isnt a bad school ...they have good connections and I like the co-op program they have going on (you basically take 6 months off in the middle of your education to do a paid internship. a girl i work with is making $24 an hour for hers). But (as much as I hate to say this), BU is a great school. You'll get a much better education and you'll have great connections.

neu has more of a campus feel though ..BU is pretty much scattered across one of Boston's biggest streets over a mile or two of land. NEU is more compacted, for the most part.

[SilverStar89]

don't go to NU ... the only thing good about that school is the co-op. BU is a much better school.
I didn't like that BU wasn't really a campus-y feeling. NEU at least felt like a small community. While walking around BU I just felt like I was hanging around city blocks, so NEU is kind of my first choice out of those two. And besides the co-op program for my major is amazing. So yeahh.
noooooo hofstra. no no no. i was there last year and i advise against that. it feels EXACTLY like high school. academically, it's decent but i really didn't like it that much. it's a fun school if you're visiting for a night or something but going there is a different story.
Hofstra's really one of my safety schools along with the SUNYs. It's decent for my major from what I hear and I have family that live like ten minutes away. I wasn't blown away with the campus or even the school really, but I figure if I need to be there for a little bit and transfer it can't be that bad. But with my grades and scores I think I can get in somewhere better.
i do not like american and the dorms at udel are blah. hofstra and suny i know nothing about.

nu ive heard is good but most people i know who applied their and jmu and got into both chose jmu. haha
I don't feel like applying to JMU! haha. I guess it wouldn't hurt, but I don't know if I'm feeling the whole Virginia thing. I didn't think the dorms at UDel were that bad. I saw Adam's and Jason's and they weren't horrible. Then the apartments you get when you're an upperclassman are sweeeeet. And I really liked the little town and all of that. So yeah. And American's amazing for international politics, obv. So they win for that reason alone.

[heyRomanticA__x]

Indiana Colleges and Universities are underrated. IUB's music program is ranked with the likes of Juilliard. The Kelley School Of Business is amazing and BSU's Education Program is tops. Purdue has an amazing Engineering and Technology program as well.

You attend Purdue W.L?

[selftitled85]

I don't feel like applying to JMU! haha. I guess it wouldn't hurt, but I don't know if I'm feeling the whole Virginia thing. I didn't think the dorms at UDel were that bad.

And American's amazing for international politics, obv. So they win for that reason alone.

well i can tell you the apts at jmu completely obliterate udel haha. i have my own bathroom AND a walk in closet. and i pay 395 a month with utilities included in that. and i get a full bed...not a pussy twin.

maybe it was just the dorm i saw at udel...but it was ridiculously small and seemed real dirty and not nice.

i did like the small town feeling udel has but jmu had the same thing.

i ended up not applying to udel because the application process for them seemed annoying as hell.

american has an amazing inta program agreed...but the people there in general are doubers. the cool people go to gwu. haha.

The area around the WVU campus in Morgantown is beautiful. I seriously considered going there before deciding to stay home and figure out what I'm doing before I go away and spend all that $$ on a dorm and shit.

And I'm not even a big nature guy, it's just sick with the mountains and trees and stuff, especially in the fall.

[TranscendTrends]

Man, so many east coasters on here! I'm from the midwest, but after much deliberation, I decided to go to california for college. I got into virginia, michigan, and minnesota, but they were all too cold upon visiting. I go to Cal Poly. great campus. brilliant professors. oh yeah, and it's ten minutes from the beach.

Agreed. It truly is a beautiful campus. My dad went back to school there to finish his degree when I was younger, and I went to sit in on some of his classes. He absolutely loved it. I still have several friends that go there too that wouldn't transfer if they had to. The school is excellent and the scenery is fantastic. The only downfall was all the damn stairs. They kill.

I, however, hate the entire state of WV, so I wouldn't go there if I had to, even though I could go for free. Go figure.

agreed. I had to drive through west virginia once. I have to say that West Virginians are some of the UGLIEST people in america. granted, I was only in the state for about two hours, but I figure I got a pretty good consensus of the place. beautiful landscape, ugly people. plus, I watched that movie Wrong Turn, where there's those cannibalistic inbred hillbillies in WV hunting down people. scary shit, lol.

[wesgemm08]

Delaware's built 3 huge new dorm's in the past two years. The old freshman dorms are meh but if you get in one of the new ones they are amazing

[TranscendTrends]

im majoring in international business too. i love it.

yeah, i'm in architecture, but i've been on the fence about switching to internat'l business with a focus on sustainable design. you guys study sustainable practices out on the the eastern seaboard? man, all east coast schools! you guys should really get out to california, i'm telling you. the weather is perfect, the girls are beautiful, and it's the fifth largest economy in the world (at least I think it's still ranked that high). the diversity out here is amazing. the only place I can imagine to be more beautiful in the US might be hawaii (I've never been there, but it sounds awesome from what I hear). Anyways, study abroad or something! expand your horizons and go someplace new. life is short.

Hey, thats where I go :) It's not bad. I really like being downtown.

I'm currently a freshman psych major, but I want to switch schools and double major in business and journalism... hopefully will end up being a publicist or something.

I'm applying to Seattle U, U Washington, University of Georgia, Roosevelt, DePaul and University of Illinois at Chicago for next fall.... I only applied to 4 places last year and regret it.

[odelay]

That school was my first choice when I applied to colleges. Why don't you like it? I kind of fucked up when I applied to colleges. My heart was set on BU, so I didn't really apply to any other schools that I wanted to go to. I got in, but I got no money. No money, no going there.
So, I went to Manhattan because of the city atmosphere. The reasons I don't like are the following:
1. It's way too small.
2. It's Long Island removed pretty much.
3. The people are eeehh.
It reminds me too much of high school, but that's just me. I know people here who are absolutely in love with Manhattan. So, I guess it's a personal choice.

It definitely draws a lot from Long Island, but so does Albany, who I'm convinced let in everyone who applied. I've met some of the stupidest people on earth since I've been here.

[odelay]

It definitely draws a lot from Long Island, but so does Albany, who I'm convinced let in everyone who applied. I've met some of the stupidest people on earth since I've been here. Yeah. Albany was the biggest state school for my grade. According to my friend's profile (who goes to Albany), "your liver can be replaced, but your memories can't."
If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose Albany?

[xmicandmoshpitx]

im going to Penn State hazleton for a year and then transferring to main. ill be majoring in security and risk analysis.
im pretty stoked :-)

[savestheday129]

I got into York College of PA :-)

just start out at main, you'll probably regret it later

Yeah. Albany was the biggest state school for my grade. According to my friend's profile (who goes to Albany), "your liver can be replaced, but your memories can't."
If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose Albany?

It's cheap, big, and has a good political science program. I really like it here; however, it's frustrating to meet so many stupid people.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

just start out at main, you'll probably regret it later


i dont think i will regret it. i'll be about an hour and a half away from home, ill have smaller class sizes, which i can definately use, i can come home for math tutoring (which ill probably need to do, i dont really want someone who's about two years older teaching me), i can have a car, and i can get some of my generals out of the way for less money.

and i dont mean this in a mean way, but how would you know what the right choice for me is?

[notoaststereo]

im actually going to chicago tomrrow to look at Columbia College Chicago... for audio/acoustics and creative writing

eh from a lot of the people who i've talked to, they said they wished they started out at main...if you want a taste of a smaller school, thats cool too

[Probono]

the earth and mineral science wing at main campus is all of my great grandfather's work. the building is named after my last name.

sorry, i felt the need to brag alittle.

[petey536]

haha my roommate transferred out of ECSU after 2 years.
smart kid

[NameTaken69]

smart kid

i think you are really missing out on some good times at ECSU.

[Juliana101]

I go to PSU berks now and I like it, the classes are smaller, the campus isn't huge, still paying in state tuition, and on top of that, I still have the PSU name.

I would've gone to main but I didn't get in, so I'll do the two year switch up thing. I feel like it's better for me because I'm easily distracted anyway.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

you should just go to chicago. i really enjoy it

[notoaststereo]

Sweet. I'll visit it if I get into the school. No point flying out to Chicago to visit it if you're not even sure you have the option of going.

i walked around the city a bit... and i went up the sears tower... i only spent the day, but i instantly fell in love with chicago.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

that's awesome. i went last summer for four days, and instantly fell in love as well. it's such a great city, wayyy better than NYC in my opinion. so clean, the people are so friendly, lots of great places to see/eat at, etc and even more to do.
i went to the hancock building when i was there. how was the sears?

i'm a sophomore but it's my first year there. i transferred out of Hofstra.

Why did you transfer out of Hofstra? I just applied there recently.

[SilverStar89]

Why did you transfer out of Hofstra? I just applied there recently.
Yeah, I just applied there too as a safety.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

Lehigh is useless unless you're an engineering major.

true statement

[im_random]

Lehigh is useless unless you're an engineering major.

Absolutely wrong. Our business school is now ranked higher than our engineering school.

[im_random]

i know people at lehigh.

edit: i think.

yeah, i know a few people from greenwich

i know a few people at lehigh. good school, other than not being able to use a calculator.

haha yeah. it's kind of a bitch and a half. but i absolutely love it.

[Juliana101]

Absolutely wrong. Our business school is now ranked higher than our engineering school.

You're school is close to mine!

[thejetstolehome]

o alright. what do you think of it in storrs?

i love it all except for the location.

Why did you transfer out of Hofstra? I just applied there recently.

it just wasn't the right place for me. it kinda felt like high school all over again. it's one of those schools that you either love or hate.

i'm typing this while wearing a pair of hofstra sweatpants, by the way haha.

[histrionics22]

Absolutely wrong. Our business school is now ranked higher than our engineering school.
Maybe so but whats the ratio of engineering majors to business majors? 5:1? Ehh I'm much happier at the Sigmund Weis School of Business here at Susquehanna.

[NameTaken69]

i love it all except for the location.



yea isnt exactly the most exciting surrounding area.

[thejetstolehome]

yea isnt exactly the most exciting surrounding area.

i wish the main branch were down around here in stamford haha. either that or i wish they'd build stuff around campus more. it's just fuckin' cow country out there.

[Mitch]

i'm typing this while wearing a pair of hofstra sweatpants, by the way haha.


Hmm...Not sure what you mean by "it kinda felt like high school all over again," but that doesn't sound too promising haha.

I have a feeling I'm gonna end up going to Columbia College Chicago if I get accepted.

[thejetstolehome]

Hmm...Not sure what you mean by "it kinda felt like high school all over again," but that doesn't sound too promising haha.

I have a feeling I'm gonna end up going to Columbia College Chicago if I get accepted.

haha it's a pretty cliquey school and you either love long island or hate it. i hated it. there was just something about the school that made it feel, to me at least, that it wasn't really college.

[annn]

fuck the longhorns. :wave:

Just cause of that, I'm gonna revoke my admissions and go somewhere else ;-)

[fedhed7]

Hmm...Not sure what you mean by "it kinda felt like high school all over again," but that doesn't sound too promising haha.

I have a feeling I'm gonna end up going to Columbia College Chicago if I get accepted.My friend goes to Columbia Chicago and he really likes it there. But i think it a big visual arts kind of school.

[notoaststereo]

My friend goes to Columbia Chicago and he really likes it there. But i think it a big visual arts kind of school.

im going there next year

[notoaststereo]

Why did you transfer out of Hofstra? I just applied there recently.

thats like 20 min from my house.

[notoaststereo]

haha it's a pretty cliquey school and you either love long island or hate it. i hated it. there was just something about the school that made it feel, to me at least, that it wasn't really college.

yeh, im from long island and i dont really like it that much... thats why i didnt even both to apply to schools on the island. i got into columbia college, so imma go there because chicago is incredible compared to LI

[desiguerilla]

i applied to brown ed (got deferred). im also applyin to tufts, nyu, columbia, dartmouth, georgetown, emory, uconn, boston u, cornell, john hopkins, and u of rochester. im prob gonna major in neuroscience or biology, depending on the college and what they got, and probably go pre-med

[desiguerilla]

i wish the main branch were down around here in stamford haha. either that or i wish they'd build stuff around campus more. it's just fuckin' cow country out there.


represent stamford, CT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(btw storrs is pretty cow country, but uconn has 2 billion to invest, some of which is bein allocated to carve storrs into a college town, like a legit one)

[thejetstolehome]

(btw storrs is pretty cow country, but uconn has 2 billion to invest, some of which is bein allocated to carve storrs into a college town, like a legit one)

haha i'm from greenwich, not stamford. but i wish the main campus were in stamford so there was actually, ya know, shit to do at school haha.

[konstantine94]

I want to go to school in Seattle, but the Chicago schools are easier to get into. UI Chicago looks pretty good though.

[desiguerilla]

haha i'm from greenwich, not stamford. but i wish the main campus were in stamford so there was actually, ya know, shit to do at school haha.

did u go to GHS?

[thejetstolehome]

did u go to GHS?

yea--i graduated there in 2005.

where did you go?

[desiguerilla]

i still go to king low, im a senior this year

[TheBaroness]

I applied for a Juris Doctor at Bond University, Melbourne University and Monash University (all Australian, obviously). I've been accepted to Bond, and will know the others on Monday. Bond means I have to move interstate, but it's an awesome school. Super intense, though (3 semesters, no breaks)

[MoFroSho]

i wouldnt really recommend NYU for science. their social science is good, but as for science you're much better off at johns hopkins or the like.. but im sure you know all this considering you are applying to these schools.

[lushintransit]

Wow, it seems like everyone is applying to a hanful of schools. I applied to over 20 when I did. I feel lame now lol.

[msestix]

So its that time of year where most high school seniors are applying/done applying to colleges. I was just wondering where some of you were thinking of going and what you might be majoring in.

I'm problably going to major in International Business. I applied to Maryland, Delaware, Scranton, Penn State, and West Chester.

One of my best friends goes to West Chester, and he loves it. It was sort of a last minute thing for him, but nevertheless he loves it.

[msestix]

Absolutely wrong. Our business school is now ranked higher than our engineering school.


i went on a tour of lehigh and they said more than ur more than 50% greek... do u do greek life and eitherway, do u find it obnoxious at all? haha and what bout that hike up to the cafeteria?

how are the academics and what's ur favorite part of goin ther?

[paranoiabombs]

Wow, it seems like everyone is applying to a hanful of schools. I applied to over 20 when I did. I feel lame now lol.

Ha, don't. I didn't even apply anywhere until mid-to-late March of my senior year, and even then, I only applied to one school. I ended up transferring after a semester there.

[mizoka]

i didn't see anyone talking about trying Harvard, Yale, Princeton... (i didn't read everything,anyway)

the picture we get from movies, tv series, etc, is that everyone tries to get into those.

[danielplaysbass]

i just turned in my application for my first choice school! woohoo!

[thejetstolehome]

i just turned in my application for my first choice school! woohoo!

which is...?

[trindaddy]

i go to Ohio University in athens ohio. its pretty much known as a party school. im a history education major. thinking about a minor in english

[ghostyouare]

I have my heart set on University of Washington. I don't really want to apply anywhere else. :(

[dsmil]

We have some nice new freshmen dorms at Delaware. For a state school, the sports program isn't very strong, but we do have a solid football team which sells out their games.

[MusicalSpirit]

SFA all the way.

[xJangsterrx]

I don't really support one college.. UNH hockey, football, and girls' LAX all the way, but i'd rather go to someplace out of new hampshire..

I have my sights set on either OSU, Notre Dame, or Princeton... or an Art school.

[thejetstolehome]

you also have the longest winter break in the history of college.

[mizoka]

you also have the longest winter break in the history of college.

how long's that?

[thejetstolehome]

how long's that?

i have a friend who goes to U-Del and he and i got home on the same day (dec. 16th) and he's still off for another week. i've been back at school for 2 weeks.

[dsmil]

Yea, its by far the worst part of school. A lot of people do winter session because the break is so ridiculous if you don't.

[piebaldkid42]

i only applied to two schools and theyre both in state. i applied to monmouth and got accepted to their honors school and i applied to rutgers and just received my acceptance today.

[mizoka]

i have a friend who goes to U-Del and he and i got home on the same day (dec. 16th) and he's still off for another week. i've been back at school for 2 weeks.

haha it sucks.

i guess my winter break will be 2 weeks long only. :/

[wolfy23]

got in at Penn College Tech.

[teddy]

I got a question for people who got into a university, how were your grades and such?

I'm only a junior in high school, but I'm already nervous as hell for when I apply next year.

[Dervela]

So its that time of year where most high school seniors are applying/done applying to colleges. I was just wondering where some of you were thinking of going and what you might be majoring in.

I'm problably going to major in International Business. I applied to Maryland, Delaware, Scranton, Penn State, and West Chester.


I applied to scranton, susquehanna, kings, montclair and marywood. the last 2 are my safeties and i've yet to hear from them and ironically i got into my top three, scranton, kings & susquehanna. i'm still undecided which i wanna go to. but i wanna study english and focus on creative writing and what not.

[wolfy23]

grades depoend on your college... my college didn't really look to much at that i am an average stundent and got early enrollment ( the early you send them in the less the colleges are expecting out of stundents since they have more spots)

[xmicandmoshpitx]

UofS, kings, and susq. are all really good schools. the U is kinda up there in price, but i like scranton and the campus is really nice. one of my friends is going to susq. next year, another might be going to UofS, two to kings, and i know some people at marywood and who will be going there next year.
nice choices.

[thejetstolehome]

wow they really didn't pay attention....

[wolfy23]

wow they really didn't pay attention....
they did a little .....colleges just aren't as hard on students the earlier you apply. I applied the spring ok my junior year for college to make sure i got in at my school.

[1moreandimfree]

I got my University of Washington acceptance letter today. Fuck Yes.

[mentch_man]

I got my University of Washington acceptance letter today. Fuck Yes.

Congrats. I have a friend who applied to UW on whatever sort of early action plan they have, but they somehow screwed up about 3% of those applications and, lucky her, she was one of them. Once she finally got it cleared up, they told her she wouldn't hear back until April 1. But since you just got your acceptance letter, does that mean they do rolling admissions?

[thejetstolehome]

they did a little .....colleges just aren't as hard on students the earlier you apply. I applied the spring ok my junior year for college to make sure i got in at my school.

and you completely missed what i was going for.

congrats.

[llwilliamsll]

Loyola has a great business program

[Brandn3w]

i just got accepted into Rutgers yesterday. I'm stoked. Fuck safety schools, only place i applied.

[yourneck]

I got into Loyola Marymount today :-). now i'm just waiting on USC and chapman

[ghostyouare]

1moreandimfree,

you want to talk to me about grades/whatever else on IM or something. I really want to go to UW, and I'm a junior. anyway, if you don't mind chatting, my im is nickl0pez with a zero

[fedhed7]

you also have the longest winter break in the history of college.Tell me about it. I came home on December 15th, and I'm finally going back to school on Sunday, February 4th. Longest 2 months of my life. At least I got some good quality time with the gf.

[teddy]

Feel free to hit me up

we have 2 and a half months on summer break. winter break is only 2 weeks :(

[thejetstolehome]

Tell me about it. I came home on December 15th, and I'm finally going back to school on Sunday, February 4th. Longest 2 months of my life. At least I got some good quality time with the gf.

i still can't believe how much time you guys get off. it's insane. when do you get out in the spring?

[piebaldkid42]

i just got accepted into Rutgers yesterday. I'm stoked. Fuck safety schools, only place i applied.
i'll see you there :)

[WindCriesMary]

Come down to New Orleans, tulane or UNO, good food, good music, good atmosphere
the stuff left over from the hurricane isnt as bad as it seems

im a junior, thats where im leaning towards cause i can get a scholarship cause im from instate
Johns Hopkins is my first choice, but i probably wont get any financial aid,
Rhodes and Washington U St Louis look pretty good too
visitin rice over in houston next week.

[SilverStar89]

I've officially been accepted into like all my safety/medium-ish schools. Now I'm waiting to hear back from my top choices.

I've been accepted to Pace University, SUNY Albany, and Hofstra University.

[thejetstolehome]

don't.
go.
to.
Hofstra.

[richter915]

don't.
go.

Hofstra.
i live right by hofstra, we can be bffs.

u better have applied to SUNY Stony Brook. Come here, become an engineer, and meet mad asianz.

[SilverStar89]

don't.
go.
to.
Hofstra.
I really don't want to go there anymore. Even if they're giving me 15,000 a year. I'm hearing so many bad things. And I just bought this book that the students review the schools and whatnot, and it didn't help Hofstra's case at all. So I'm probably not going there.

[SilverStar89]

u better have applied to SUNY Stony Brook. Come here, become an engineer, and meet mad asianz.
Nope, I didn't apply to Stony Brook. The only SUNY school I applied to was Albany. Mostly because I want to be a poly sci major and it made sense to apply to that school. Even though, I really don't want to go there either. Even if they cut my tuition in half. haha.

I'm really banking on my top three to pull through for me, haha.

[meonthereal88]

I applied to University of Nevada Reno. I'm still waiting to hear back.

I want to major in Political Science

[HiddenInNJ]

to the kid who started this thread.... if you actually want a degree don't go to Scranton

[thejetstolehome]

i live right by hofstra, we can be bffs.

haha, should've told me last year before i transferred. we could've been bff.

yea, i pretty much hated it.

Yeah, see thats what I've been hearing a lot. "Don't go if you don't have car." "All there is to do there is going out to bars." "The campus is dead during the weekend."

Not goooood.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

to the kid who started this thread.... if you actually want a degree don't go to Scranton

scranton is a good school

pssh, we all know why u applied to albany...number one party school in america.

sounds like stony brook...lol

[SilverStar89]

pssh, we all know why u applied to albany...number one party school in america.
Not anymore! But apparently, the only thing to do in Albany is drink. Yet another reason why I'm not incredibly fond of it. I need to do something else for fun besides drink all the time.
sounds like stony brook...lol
Haha, good thing I didn't apply.

[invudreamergirl]

I've applied to Christopher Newport University, Old Dominion U. (accepted), Seattle U., Hofstra, Rollins College, and Salve Regina. I applied to a few more but I've all ready been rejected so there's no need to mention them.

CNU is my top choice right now, I haven't visited Hofstra or Salve Regina, but SR looks beautiful from pictures I've seen. Obviously Hofstra isn't a favorite in this thread, and I'm not exactly thrilled to get in. I saw Rollins and I really had no opinion of it, nothing really stood out to me and I realized I'm not a big fan of the state of Florida. I really liked Seattle but I have a personal reason why I wouldn't want to go there.

[thejetstolehome]

don't.
go.
to.
Hofstra.

[piebaldkid42]

if anyone read through this thread and had any desire to go to hofstra, they have been completely discouraged.

[UrS Truly]

to the kid who started this thread.... if you actually want a degree don't go to Scranton


haha i'm not planning on it man. its going to cost me about 36,000 a year, basically money i don't have.

[thejetstolehome]

if anyone read through this thread and had any desire to go to hofstra, they have been completely discouraged.

haha, it has a few good points but not too many. i'm very glad i transferred.

[CstSnow]

Csu Monterey Bay ftw here

[avengedtbs]

does anyone here go to clarkson or know someone who does? i need some feedback because ive been accepted there and i dont know whether to choose it over Syracuse and the Rochester Institute of Technology

[Frequency]

I only applied to small schools. I applied to Lynchburg, Randolph Macon, Heidelberg, Butler and University of Dayton. I'm planning to go to Randolph Macon.
