Kenyon College in Ohio is really nice -- but I want to get into the University of Alabama. One of the most beautiful campuses I've ever seen.

My dream = Princeton, but that's just a dream. I'll probably end up at Georgia Tech, GSU (Georgia State University), or UGA (University of Georgia). Georgia Tech is my first choice if I'm staying instate, though.

University of Florida here. Nothing big, but its been my goal since like 8th grade.... or SIUC which is like 25 miles from my house.
If someone from Harvad applied for a job that I was offering, and someone from a smaller less known college applied for the same job, I would pick the one that graduated from the smaller one. Just because people from bigger college has shit pumped into them thinking they are the best, and that they deserve the best pay. applied for a job that I was offering, and someone from a smaller less known college applied for the same job, I would pick the one that graduated from the smaller one.

QUOTE(mipadi @ Jan 9 2006, 2:43 PM) A lot of "big-name" colleges are also highly overrated. Explain? I don't think that's necessarily true. As you implied, it depends on the person. Besides, prestige emerges for a reason. |

A lot of big-name colleges have a reputation because they're very old and thus have produced some important individuals, and/or because they have major donors. Clearly schools exist on a continuum from very bad to very good, but after a certain point, my experiences have shown that undergraduate programs don't differ significantly—or not significantly to justify the money, pressure, and stress of a big-name school. It's much more important to choose a school based on "fit" (i.e., how compatible one is with the general atmosphere of the school), rather than having a "good" reputation. Of course, graduate programs are where schools really begin to differentiate themselves. |

Of course, graduate programs are where schools really begin to differentiate themselves. The fact that they've produced important individuals can't be attributed solely to the schools' age. And I understand that rankings aren't important when you're deciding between Duke, Penn, and Brown, but reputation still provides some sort of outlook when you're comparing, say, George Mason and Johns Hopkins. In addition, I would still like to attend a school with a competitive undergrad population, not for the competition, but for the experience of learning among the best. And I'm not implying that any school out of the Ivy League doesn't have competitive applicants, but you generally find that sort of population at "big-name" colleges, since they do have lower admissions rates, no? And big cities... I love them. DC has spoiled me. For college, I need public transportation, crowds, and a myriad of opportunities outside of school. |

QUOTE(je like french @ Jan 26 2006, 9:33 PM) ^ probably meant this year, not this school year. oh, and i advise juniors to start writing college essays in the summer. seriously. some colleges put out their prompts early. if they don't, start writing drafts of your "personal statement" (500 words about anything). do yourself a huge favor and DON'T PROCRASTINATE. I wrote 5 essays for my TASP application. They can probably be recycled/shortened for apps. |
