the college search

[YearsGoneBy]

so what schools did everyone apply to and who got in where, if you know already

i applied to northeastern, st joes, lasalle, fordham, university of the arts, and rutgers(new brunswick)
i only got my acceptance to rutgers already but i have no idea where i want to actually go

[richter915]

I honestly don't remember the schools I applied to. I applied to SUNY Stony Brook (which I chose to attend)...I think Siena College for the combined medical school program as well as SUNY albany's program and Rochester's program. I was declined by all the programs but got into all the schools easily...my SAT score sucked...but ya, I chose stony mostly cause I have a full tuition scholarship here and it's probably the best "bang" for my "buck" so to say.

[selftitled85]

i applied to james madison, penn state (main), university of south carolina, george mason university, north carolina state univ, university of north carolina (greensboro), and west virginia university (if all else fail school)

i got into all but psu because my guidance counselor is an idiot.

i knew i wanted to go to jmu from the start. the campus is amazing, the girls are amazing, its good in my program of study, and a lot of nj students so i will get a taste of home too.

[richter915]

ya one of my bigger reasons for choosing stony brook was because a lot of people from the island end up going there.

[noodledancer]

for undergrad i applied to boston u, duke, harvard, nyu, stanford, uc berkeley, uc davis, ucla, uc san diego, usc, & some other school that i can't remember right now (it was 5 years ago). i got into all of them, except harvard, which i just applied to for fun.

honestly, when it comes to picking a college, you just have to know what kind of environment you'd like to be in. it's easy to find a good school, but not all good schools will be right for you. i chose ucla, & most people think i'm completely nuts for passing up stanford, but i don't regret it at all. you should definitely try to take campus tours (winter or spring break are good times to do this), which will help give you a better sense of campus life & allow you to talk to students. if that's not feasible, the schools should be able to get you in contact with alumni in your area that you can talk with.

you still have plenty of time to make your decision, so don't stress it too much right now. good luck with everything.

dude, albany becomes long island when school is in session.

[Brianfarg]

I applied to Fordham, Manhattan College, Stony Brook, Albany, and New Paltz, and I applied to Adelphi, Hofstra, Post and St. John's because my school ran some thing where we could do it for free. I really would like to go to Manhattan College, but I think I'm going to end up at New Paltz or Albany. I got my acceptance from the ones I applied to through my high school.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I only applied to Niagara University because it was a no-brainer for me to get in there. I got my acceptance letter in the mail, Yesterday actually, and I'll be receiving an $11,000 a year scholarship, and the tuition is only $19,000. Plus, I live 5 minutes from campus, so I'll be living at home.

dude...lame. you go to college to be away from the parents. and not live at home.

[Brianfarg]

my dad went to manhattan college and my cousin goes to suny new paltz.

How did your dad like Manhattan? How does your cousin like New Paltz?

[annn]

you Northern sluts...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to UT.

[richter915]

dude, albany becomes long island when school is in session.
haha ya but stony brook is a better school and it's about an hour drive to my house (and I can take the long island rail road and be home in 1.5 hours)...

I also love being in a place where it isn't cracka central USA...for once caucasians aren't the majority...the diversity there is really something all should experience.

why not just go to SUNY buffalo? it's the second best SUNY and it has great research opps (and it's about a quarter of the price)....what do you plan on studying?

GO TO STONY! we can party...haha.

[Brianfarg]

GO TO STONY! we can party...haha.

Ha. One of my friends goes there and really loves it, but I'd kind of like to get away from Long Island for a while and experience somewhere different.

[sleepygrlgreen]

stony brook university, rutgers university (camden campus and new brunswick), binghamton university, college of mount saint vincent (got a 14 thousand dollar scholarship for each year! there) ...i got into all of them, but i guess i wasn't really aiming too high. i ended up going to stony brook.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

I applied early decision to TCNJ, so come December 15th I'll know. If not, I'll be sending in applications to Hofstra, Lafayette, Villanova, Haverford, and Ramapo.

[Rebs]

I am going to apply to University of Virginia, Washington and Lee University, Duke, Princeton, UNC, and Vanderbilt.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

dude...lame. you go to college to be away from the parents. and not live at home.
it's only for the first 2 years, so i can save up $$ for an apartment somewhere.

it's not like i even see my parents much now anyways. i'm always home after they go to bed.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

why not just go to SUNY buffalo? it's the second best SUNY and it has great research opps (and it's about a quarter of the price)....what do you plan on studying?

One reason: I don't know what I'm studying. So staying at home for a year or so and going to Niagara (which is actually a great school, especially for the price) is a smart option.

and actually there's another reason too. I love Niagara's campus, and I know alot of people who have gone there/ are going there and they love it.

[richter915]

I wnated to apply for the TCNJ med school programs but I didn't have teh 1400 SAT score...gay.

[IAmCountryMusic]

How did your dad like Manhattan? How does your cousin like New Paltz?

my dad liked manhattan but was a commuter while there so never really got the college life there.

my cousin loves new paltz. she is an edu major there and is studying abroad next sem i think.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Did I mention that for the 1-2 years I live here, I get to Pimp My Room?

My bedroom now is a bed, a dresser and a closet. And clothes on the floor. For the time after HS i stay here, I get a TV, my laptop, and digital cable too (we only have it in the living room right now)

[JWKingofNerds]

I'm applying to Amherst, Swarthmore, Harvard, Haverford, Carleton, Macalester, and Rollins. The main reason I'm applying to Rollins is that it's in the state and I could use my Bright Futures scholarship there and come back and visit when I need to, but I'm still kind of up in the air on that. I may also apply to UF and FSU just to keep my options open... My first choice in terms of the best school for me is Amherst, but if you factor in location and cost I might just be better off staying in the state...

[Brianfarg]

New Paltz is my number one choice right now, despite the massive amounts of hippies.

[asianxcore]

Im a juinor in high school, and i plan on staying in state. I would love to go to U of Wisconsin Madision but my grades arnt good enough. I will end up going to northern illinois.

[Rebs]

[leafsacc]

I've applied to/am applying to:
Brandeis, Northeastern, Tufts, Boston U, George Washington, NYU, Washington U, American U, and Northwestern.

wow, you're looking to go really far from home. My shcool is 10 minutes from Brandeis. It's a pretty nice area.

[YearsGoneBy]

I despise UVA, I have to apply just because of my parents. I have no desire to go there.

[Joanna187]

I will second this statement. I'm currently working on a way to never grow up.hah, well, apparently my sister knows. she had a dream last night that i got into this really serious car accident, wasn't supposed to make it, but came out with the mentality of a 5 year old. how's that for not being able to grow up? i think i'd rather have someone kill me.

[SilverStar89]

My parents want me to apply to JMU next year. As well as a few SUNY schools. I'm still lost as to what I want in a school. I have sometime before I have to sit down with guidance, though. That starts towards the middle of this year.

[Rebs]

they are tools. what do you wanna major in?
pre-med, english or psychology. I haven't decided yet

[xAnothrLostSoul]

i'm going to apply to Cal State Long Beach, Ohio U, Kent State, Rochester Institue of Technology, Point Park University, and a couple schools in Texas.

there aren't many schools who offer photojournalism so my choices are limited.

i really hope to get into Cal State because i love the beach or Ohio because they have the best parties.

[selftitled85]

pre-med, english or psychology. I haven't decided yet

jmu is good at psych and is fucking insane in bio. english i dunno too many majors in that. haha.

[DeadCityScars]

see my prob was if i went to a school near a beach id get no work done. also people who tend to go the beach every second of every day are usually the most pretentious fucks out there. stick me in a school with a good party scene and let me do my own thang and im golden.

[richter915]

pre-meds aren't allowed to party :(

kids who attend cal state universities automatically have their right to be pretentious revoked. well, at least if they're from cali.
pre-meds aren't allowed to party :(
i think pre-meds just function on extremes. there's a bunch people who party hardcore, a bunch that don't do anything but study, & very few in between.

YEAH. GO BRUINS. Are you still a student or an alumnus now? That's awesome :) Come out to the FUCK SC stuff this week.

And to all of you applying, apply to UCLA. If you get in, come. I better see your asses on campus being a bruin. Good.

[Brianfarg]

pre-meds aren't allowed to party :(

How is school going by the way?

[roxy]

I applied to stonehill, providence, emmanuel, and umass amherst. i got a half tuition scholarship for merit at each of the schools but chose emmanuel because it was in boston. boston is an amazing college city, i love it.

[wastedspacejm]

I applied to Miami early decision, so i got my acceptance letter back before any other apps were even due. If I hadn't been accepted: Denison U, Ohio U, Ohio Northern, OSU...although looking back on it, I wish sometimes that i had gone somewhere in Jersey...Farleigh, Rutgers...oh well. There's always grad school, right?

[sleepygrlgreen]

about 45 minutes away from you. near woodbridge.you're near woodbridge? i'm in rutherford.

[Mercy Medical]

Hmmm, this is taking me way back.

I applied to U of Washington, U of Portland, U of Redlands (I could've met Jason Tate! OMFG! :blah:), Westmont, Azusa Pacific, Santa Clara, Indiana Tech (one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong)....ummm, I think that's it.

I went to Indiana Tech. They gave my academic money and soccer money and it's been a damn good decision on my part.

[Joanna187]

you're near woodbridge? i'm in rutherford.mmmhm, that's cool

[im_random]

I've applied to Boston College, James Madison, and McGill (all 3 early action) and I'm applying to Notre Dame, Syracuse, Lehigh, and UVA for regular.

[selftitled85]

Ohhh right how could I forget that part.

I should be hearing from them and BC soon.

[dukeboy1986]

Whatever you do if you are at all a fan of good music do not apply to Furman. It is way too conservative, way too religious, and the people's music tastes here for the most part suck.

[LoserlyFirefly]

I applied to CSU Long Beach, Humboldt State, San Diego State, San Francisco State, and Sonoma State. I only applied last week so no acceptance or rejection letters yet.
