Wow, I respect people who are music fluent. =) I wish I learned how to play an instrument!


I'm a Sophomore, and I'm only looking at UC Berkeley or UCSD. =)

Private schools cost too much.

[ComradeRed]

Don't go to George Mason... Walter E Williams teaches there.

[*tweeak*]

who? and it was her last choice anyway...

[innovation]

Don't go to George Mason... Walter E Williams teaches there.

i hope not...

[hi-C]

Wow, I'm happy to see that some of you have NYU as a dream school! I go there, and it's nice to see other people who are interested in it.

And good luck on the whole application process as a whole. It's a tough thing to go through, quite stressful, and you have to do it amongst all the other things in your life.

And the FAFSA, good luck with that, too. If you don't know what it is, you'll find out soon enough. I hope it doesn't screw you over like it did me.

both the seniors in my spanish class want to go to nyu

[*autumn.*]

woot. go helen. =D

haha why thank you :D. i dont want to apply to too many schools, because i heard that apps SUCK.

mindy, you are such a model asian kid. my parents would die to have you as a daughter. haha.

[hi-C]

haha why thank you :D. i dont want to apply to too many schools, because i heard that apps SUCK.

The apps themselves don't really suck, it's just a pain in the butt to fill them out. For the most part, all schools have similar essay topics. There's also the Common Application that's accepted at a bunch of schools, so you fill that out, send it to the schools you want and that's it. Only one application to fill out.

The worst part about college apps is the application fee. NYU's app fee is $60, I believe. Other high ranking schools are that high as well.

[pink_tootsie]

eh..im only in the eight grade but im in this college prp class and i would like to go to..
duke unniversity
chapel hill at NC

thats pretty much it..so far..

[EddieV]

Main Priority
CUNY Baruch College

Second Main
Berkley University

Safe School
N.Y.I.T.

[innovation]

Reaches
Princeton University
[early decision all the way.]

wait; is it much easier to get in ED?

[hi-C]

wait; is it much easier to get in ED?

Not way easier, but there is generally a smaller application pool, so the chances of getting in are slightly increased. But at some schools, like NYU, throw your applicatrion away if you don't get early admission instead of putting it into the regular application pool.

[*CrackedRearView*]

I've been accepted to:

Stanford
U.C. Berkeley
USC
UCLA
Davis
Irvine
Pepperdine
U.C. SD

and a few local schools which I won't be going to

Kansas
Kansas State
Missouri
U.M KC

Blah, blah, and blah.

I will probably go to Berkeley for 2 years, and transfer to Stanford when I can financially handle it.
