College Applications - L2Blah

Frambuesa · 12-07-2005, 10:04 AM

I have to say, applying for college has turned out to be a bigger pain in the butt than I thought it would be. All the essays, the SAT, begging for recomendations -- it's got me all stressed out.

So far I'm applying to UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, USC, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and Georgetown.

Anyone else applying, and if so, to where?

they're stressful, but if there's anything in life you just have to suck up and do, it's college applications. though in the end they're really not THAT bad. but then again i didn't apply to 9 colleges ^^

as long as you're in the area, apply to reed so you can experience a classroom composed of 90% high students -_- Y~~~

I cant wait till next year, im getting into UCF easy. If u are out of school for, i think, 4-5 years then you dont have to apply to get in. They will accept you and you just gotta send them any college credits you have and your high school deploma. Its a pretty sweet deal if ya ask me. I only got 7 months left in my enlistment and im back to college. Good to see someone else going to UCF, ill be around in the vert stang with the 20"s or on the bike. Golden Knights FTW

So is real life, especially if you didn't go to a decent college.

Deyja · 12-08-2005, 10:47 PM

it's all about the common app. son !

Lustra · 12-08-2005, 11:02 PM

well im in college and applying wasnt that hard for me i basically applied to 1 college and got in then transfered. I applied to 2 colleges and was accepted to both. but yea the essays suck

Frambuesa · 12-08-2005, 11:08 PM

Well I think I'll be ok. Took a look at the USC essays, and they're not that bad. I just get nervous that's all, but in the end, I just have to do them.[QUOTE=Deyja]it's all about the common app. son ![/QUOTE]Unfortunately, out of the universities I'm applying to, only Harvard and Yale accept it. All of the University of California campuses use a common application though.

everything in the danish school system is free bwhah highschool, college,university etc. etc.

megalomaniac · 12-09-2005, 12:29 PM

Swiss universities aren't free, but you're free to join any of them if you got the high school diploma (for lack of a more fitting name) in any "canton" (Swiss states/provinces). Unlike the US our school system is 99% public, universities are run by the states and two are run by the federal government directly (the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausanne and Zurich). Pure tuition fees for Swiss students are, depending on the university, between 500 and 1000 Swiss francs (last time I checked), not covered are books and materials (which can add up quickly if you study, say, Architecture or something which basically requires you to have a decent notebook)

I live in IL, and I was thinking of apply to some west coast colleges, but in the end I got lazy and was like fuck that, just applied to U of I and GA Tech, but really wanted to go to U of I. A lot of people from my HS go here, and it's close/far enough from home. and GO BIG TEN

Krog · 12-09-2005, 03:40 PM

I'm just glad I don't have to do that stuff anymore. It was more stressful when you start getting back the letters that say something to the effect that you're not qualified, gl.. heh.
