yeah--stanford is NOT an ivy.

my counselor showed me stats from my school last year, and there were a bunch of 1600's with 4.1 GPAs that did not get into an ivy. even with early decision/early action.

Brown University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Harvard University
University of Pennsylvania
Princeton University

...SATs mean much less than grades, and out of school activities. ask any admissions officer.

not a surprise.. TJ's average alone is almost 1500! (and most of the people @ TJ would probably retake it after getting a 1500) rolleyes.gif

and as for the ivy rejection thing.. it's because so many kids these days are wrapped up in competition and leadership/test scores that they lack the intellectual passion and curiosity, which is exactly what the nation's top colleges seek.

yeah, which is exactly why im so annoyed with my school. im not that smart, im not aiming for a very highly prestegious college, but i cant take any classes that actually interest me- i cant even do IB and take TOK because with only 6 classes theres no room in my schedule, but so im stuck forcing myself to just barely get by in classes i hate, while i could be learning things that im genuinely interested in. i actually learn more during the summer than i do in school, because i seek knowledge in more than just curriculum. school has actually sucked the will out of me

Seattle Central Community College.
Lots of asians transfer there because this college was in the newspaper. So I guess it's a popular community college to Korean people from Korea.

I also like it there because theres a lot of new instructors especially fashion and art insitute and web-designing. I heard that they are nice, friendly, very good at teaching. So I decided to go there. I would not want to get a very mean, harsh teacher haha.

Also the area is there is nice. Also it's over at downtown! I can get to see space needle a lot hehe.

1) I Don't think i could go anywhere else...
2)Grades also keep me from going to many other places
3)They got all the classes I need/want there (psych, commerce.... just like most other universities)
4)Cheaper cuz i dont hafta travel abroad

bc could either be boston college, or umbc, university of maryland baltimore county. from the other colleges he listed, i'm assuming it's boston college.

Maybe Yale (ha!)
Cause it's close to home, and it's a med. school (i think) which I plan to go to. And I heard it was a good school.

Or unless my grades won't be able to go to yale (which is probably won't), maybe BU or something... =\
