to where are you thinking of going? :rofl:

I have not decided yet. So far I have received 4 college acceptances out of the 10 schools that I applied. Also each school has given me some scholarship money.

University of Nevada, Reno--$500

Eckerd College-- $11,000 renewable

University of Evansville--$11,000 renewable

Dominican University of California--$15,000 renewable

wow...that's a lot of money :thumbup:

Out of those schools, I like Dominican the most. I am actually going up to see it next week. It is in San Rafael, CA. North of San Francisco.

:D :D :D :D :D that's near where i live !ouch:

undergrad Texas Tech
grad University of Utah

I went to Sonoma State (CSU Sonoma) which is a little more north - EXCELLENT school. San Rafael is a great town but remember housing tends to get cheaper as you head north. Check out SSU while your there - It can't hurt.

I am now attending Chaminade University in Honolulu and will earn my elementary school teaching certificate in a year and a half.

No matter where you decide to go HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!:I think everyone will agree that it is a blast! :thumbup: :cheer:

:thumbup:

The Citadel - class of 1971 - BS math - a hell of a place to go to, but a great place to be from - usually in the top 10 best public colleges in the south

The important thing about selecting a college is what do you want to do, what are your likes - do you have any idea what major will help you achieve the career path you may want to pursue? How strong is the college in that field? What are it's placement rates for graduates (in your major)? What is it's reputation in the business community? Where do you feel comfortable? in a classroom of hundreds? or one with less than thirty? Where will you be able to study? (ie, do they maintain a level of quiet in the dorms on school nights or will you have to spend time elsewhere to get your work done without interruption?) Of course, if you're going to college just to get drunk (and be somebody) and party, you can narrow your selection down to the Playboy list of party schools.

University of Arizona

I currently attend NJIT(new jersey institute of technology)

Absolutely right! Pick a college that will help facilitate career growth.

FINALLY someone says something lol

I'm about to transfer actually so I've been looking myself, I'm really loving SFSU and UW in Seattle or I've been looking at schools in DC

undergrad--Univ of South Alabama (Mobile)
grad--Univ of Alabama in Birmingham

I turned down scholarships at several well-known schools for my BS, in favor of staying close to home. It was the right decision for me, at the time. Lots of factors to consider, besides the cachet of any particular school.

Schools in DC?! GW, GT, or AU?

I said LOOKING, not doing lol

SFSU has a great journalism program and teaching program...what are you planning on studying?

Me? Psychology and International Business/Marketing (still on the fence)

Internation marketing? Is that like marketing countries to other countries?

I matriculated from UCLA in the era of college protests and student unrest. It was the best time of my life and I still have a deep passion for my school.

Your going to be slapped, and NOT the way you like it ;)

:hawt:

:fight:

Heck Ya It is *evil grin!* Where is the get a room icon?

I've been accepted to University of Tampa.. I'll be going there this fall.

Congrats!!

I got into Eckerd College, which is right across the bridge from Tampa in St. Petersburg.

I applied there, too. My best friend goes there.

Does he like it? I am debating whether or not to go and check out the school.

She loves it there. She's very into sailing, so it's a great school for her. Right on the bay. Have you been on campus yet? I took a tour over the summer and it was very nice. It's a very small school, though.. 1300 kids, I think. That's the only thing she doesn't like about it. She's thinking of transferring to Tampa, because she says it's too small for her. Other than that, she loves it. It just depends what you're looking for in terms of school size.

That is good. I have not taken a campus tour yet, but I might. I applied there just becuase it was a small school. I choose mostly small schools to apply to.

I really loved Eckerd and could easily see myself going there. However, I chose Tampa because it is more business-focused (They have a beautiful business school with great facilities) and it's my ideal size, about 4500 kids. I definitely suggest looking at Eckerd.

I might go to see eckerd after I check out a school I got into in California.

University of Buffalo

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER
which is one of new ivyleauges.

I liked it while I was playing a sport. I was the starting centerfielder for my freshman and sophomore years, only missed three games total. But after I stopped playing, I went abroad to Europe and came back, hated Whittier after that.

The only thing I think I actually gained from college besides my degree, was my girlfriend of almost a year. On the downside, she's in her last semester which means I have to visit up there every so often...

Good school overall though, I just wish it was bigger.

Just to add a little more information, Whittier's a great school if you want small class sizes and great interaction with professors. I actually use two of my teachers as references, they also are great for networking.

My graduating class size in college was 247, but my graduation high school class was 1,163. I had a problem with the size of the school because it was so much smaller than my high school. Everyone knows you, your business, your friends, even the car you drive. I'd recommend the school if you want to have close interaction at a college level. If you want anymore advice, PM me and I'll fill you in. I can also help you with Dominican, my girlfriend is from Marin County up north and has more than a few friends that go there. Good luck!

88-89 University of Hartford, CT
89-92 (BA) Villanova University
92-93 :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :tgif: :tgif: :drinking: :drinking: = Mono
93-96 (JD) Widener University School of Law "Delaware Law School"

Babson College class of '01

Finance / Intl business management

Just to add to the thread, I just found out that I got admitted into two more colleges. Whittier College, and Chapman University :thumbup:

Congratulations!!! :cheer::cheer: have you any idea which one you may be attending?

Thanks! I have no idea yet. I will be going up to San Rafael/ San Francisco area this week to check out Dominican University, and I will be going down to St. Petersburg to check out Eckerd College. I am considering all the schools I received scholarships to first, and then the other schools. I still have not heard back from ther other schools that I applied to yet.

UCLA, B.A., Economics, '88. (Go Bruins!)
Southwestern Univ. School of Law, J.D., '91.

I loved the undergraduate experience at a big urban school like UCLA. Law school, on the other hand, is not for everyone, but will prepare you for just about any career you choose.

Just an update...I received a scholarship for Whittier College today. I received $15,000 per year. I will have to make a trip down to So Cal to check it out.

congratulations! how much does the $15000 cover in terms of fees?

The tuition is about $35k+. So the $15,000 covers quite a bit.:thumbup:

UCLA

should have also asked what everyone's major was. After 4 miserable years I finally decided to go with Psychology...now just hopefully I'll be able to get into a masters program

University of Denver '97-B.S. International Business
Everyone loves a Pioneer!

I too would suggest a large school, esp for undergrad. A large university will expose you to a multitude of new people and experiences; the result will be a dynamic new perspective you have on the "world". This is especially more important in today's ever 'flattening' global world.

I am not a big fan of very big schools. I went to a couple large high schools, and was not that thrilled. Most of the schools that I applied to were small. The largest is probably USF or UNR.

USF is a pretty good school. gorgeous campus, and you'll be in sf :cheer:

I have not heard from them yet, but I will probably check out the campus while I am up there this weekend. Only negative is the parking situation.

Highschool is NOTHING like college so don't make that the basis of your decision.

No I'm not. I visted both types of campuses before I applied, and I really enjoyed the smaller schools.

That's perfectly fine. It really is a personal preference.

We're just trying to give you all the angles. :)

No, I appreciate it. To be honest, University of Florida was on my earlier lists of schools to apply to, and it is very large.:thumbup:

Well, since I dont mind sharing this with good friends, my list of schools I applied to:

Duke
UNC-Chapel Hill*
Univ. of Virginia
Univ. of Mich
Univ. of Penn
Univ. of MD-CP*

* means I've received acceptance letters so far from these schools. For CP, I got into their Gemstone program.............but it was a safety school so I doubt I'll go there. I look to major in business, and to answer my #1 FAQ: "No, I do not have a 1st choice". The rest of the results dont come out till later. I'm crossing my fingers!!!

Congratulations on the acceptances. It waws a very rough, and unnerving process. This is now the best part of the experience, sitting back and getting acceptances.:thumbup:

interesting...do students in your high schools usually opt to go to colleges far away from home? most people who are in sf, usually don't leave california, but it's probably because of the UCs.

If I go to a school in So Cal, I will not be going far from home.

True. I have friends in California and they don't bother with the East coast schools. Same thing applies here, to a lesser extent because some kids wanna get away from home. So they apply to Berkeley or USC etc...

I applied to schools all over the country.

did you apply to any UCs?

I was going to, but I didnt. Here are the schools that I applied to:

Dominican University of California
Whittier College
Chapman University
University of San Francisco
University of Evansville
University of Nevada, Reno
Eckerd College
Claremont McKenna College
Harvard University
University of the Pacific
Westmont College

I know I am probably the only one still adding to this thread but, I received an acceptance from the University of San Francisco.

congratulations! i hope you're seriously considering going there :thumbup: it's a great school, and from campus and you can see most of san francisco. it's almost right in the heart of sf (a little northwest...)

plus, it's in san francisco !ouch:

I went up and saw the campus last week. Beautiful. People were hanging out and smoking hookah. The only problem is that there is no parking. I cant bring my X5. Ill die!

It's that way on most large college campuses.

USF isn't that large...

but yes, at least that's the way people are here at my school :smokin::tgif:

USF is great. I am looking for a relaxed campus.

It's very nice to be in the company of some fellow Bruins.

Aside from how great of a school it is, hottest girls ever :drool:

Update: I received acceptance from Westmont College in Santa Barbara.

I am the only person looking at this thread. :rofl: Anyways, I just wanted to update. I received admission to University of the Pacific on the basis that I change my major. They said that they have too many applicants for the science majors and so I have to fill out a paper they are sending me, stating my new major. However, I am excepted as long as I do that.:rolleyes:
