which school - Page 6

i admit, i used to read the dictionary (seriously, ask my friends), but other than that i didnt study anything but the room number where i was supposed to be at the high school. i dunno, i guess it just comes naturally to me.

Going to be a freshman this September in the University of Oregon, Eugene ^_^ Just can't wait for that..... Anybody going there, or been there now?

Freshman to be at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign; mechanical engineering.

the vocabulary on the sat definitly wasnt 8th grade level, at least for the harder questions, i learned none of those words at my school. and i think the sat/act are useful tests in addition to gpas, because anyone can get a 4.0 if they try hard enough, but not everyone can get a 1500+ on the sat. i wouldnt my brain surgeon to be a total moron who just tried real hard.

and mayaman i didnt sleep the day before my sat, boy that sucked. but i have consistant sleeping problems...

Imma be a freshmen at the University of California Davis. GO AGS!! I gotta find me a laptop, and im poor. This sucks.

Freshmen @ Radford University here in VA...

UBC University of British Columbia 1st year BASC w/ math hon. next year...

If my grades let me, I'll specialize into Engineering Physics w/ math honours.

The APSC program at UBC doesn't make you specialize until 2nd year, but that puts more pressure into the first year students to get better marks to GET their specialization.

Looking at the bookstore, UBC has a really sad selection of laptops.

Only three IBMs.. and two of them don't come with wireless.

yeah, i think laughing at the disabled is even funnier. [/sarcasm]

FYI, i was using the smiley as a vehicle for the word 'ditto'. i have chronic sleeping problems, which i use as a great excuse to play computer games all night.

Don't worry man, the same thing happened to me. I took the SAT at the end of my junio year (first time) and I got a 1550. I was very surprised, because I didn't study and I had just planned on taking it for practice. I figured that I got a really good score though, so I thought that I wouldn't have any trouble getting into whatever college I wanted to. I also took the Chem and Math SAT IIs that year, and I got a 790 on the Chem, and a 800 on the math, even though I probably could have gotten an 800 on the Chemistry if I had used one of those Princeton Review study books. I didn't know what kind of questions would be on the test when I took it. The next year I took the English Writing SAT II. This time I was smarter, because I bought a Princeton Review book and crash coursed all my grammar. In that test I got a 790. So, since I had all good scores, and a 4.0 all the way through high school (unweighted), I figured I could get into practically anywhere. Thus, I chose only two colleges to apply to. I applied to Stanford and Brigham Young University (I'm Mormon). Well, to make a long story short, I got rejected from Stanford. I had some friends that didn't do as well, and two of them got on the waiting list, and one of them got in. I was really pissed. My essays were very good, so I'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem. I think that it may have been my lack of too many extracurricular activities. While I did things such as my Eagle Scout, a few years of sports, church activities, and a couple of clubs, my friends that got in were the leaders of clubs and such, while I was always to lazy to do that stuff.

I wish that I had applied to some Ivy Leagues, rather than Stanford. I've heard that Stanford doesn't care so much about test scores.

stanford cares much about $$...
i remember when i applied there... first page of application form outlined in thick black box was a field to put in the amount of cash you have available to go to school

still... guy from my high school rejected athletic scholarship to go to stanford and went to UBC

This one's for all the canucks!

1st year University of British Columbia boo ya!
Econ

Chigga

Bahaha 1140 SAT! 3.5 GPA! HOW THE F*** DID I GET IN?!
Must be the recommendation letters
I feel stupid compared to the other Azns and Canadians in this thread... Especially the ones going to UBC with math honors or some hunky doodle that I can't even pronounce!

Comp. Eng. sophomore at Colorado State University. I was going to go to VT, but then decided to stay in Colorado; it’s so hot in Va.

chemical engineering freshman at Notre Dame...go irish!

University of Kentucky, i got accepted to some more prestigious schools, but in the end Kentucky felt like the best fit...(65% girls, best sports, and super nice people).

UCI, going to be soph. Had 1340 SAT1 and 3.6 gpa, 670, 790, 710 Sat2 writing math2c and chem. I didnt get to LA like i wanted. SAT is unfair to non native speakers.

Got into Ucsd but UCI gave me 8000 bucks scholarship. With that an grants, i pay 0 for my tuition.

I am the epitome of the college student who does everything except work all school year. I too will be a Freshmen first semester this year and a Sophmore next semester (only took 12 credits but guess what failed calc ) at ODU. A party school in VA that in located in Norfolk about 15-20 minutes from the beach . Anyways college is so far the greatest experience of my life and I tell you what unless you are takeing some hard ass classes you won't need to go to class more than once a week (takeing advice from me is not recommended ).

Currently studying law in Brazil. However, I'm in USA now, currently 'paused' by medical letter. 18 years old, 3rd year!!

Senior at New Jersey Institute of Technology this coming fall
