College question

[Lager]

Did anybody here apply to college they had no intention of going to but just to see if they will get accepted?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nope, got my ACT scores - top 5% of all the students score-wise, but my GPA at the time was a ~2 (out of 4), so I settled on a state school.

Kinda ridiculous the big-name schools sending me crap just because I scored so high on the ACT (and prolly because I'm from one of the best school districts in the US and I'm a minority), but kinda failed to notice my GPA . . ..

 

[konichiwa]

Probably because your GPA isn't public record and you haven't chosen to send it to them?

 

[bradruth]

No, I already planned on going to UND so that's the only place I applied. I could have easily gotten into a "better" college, since I was WAY over the minimum standards to go here, but they offer what I want at the best possible price & it's not far away from home.

Yea. I applied to Princeton, because I was told they hardly ever accept anyone from the South. They accepted me. I'd never go there though, Purdue all the way.

 

[zimu]

i applied to UPENN. ended up going there.

 

[wiredspider]

Sorta, they sent me an app saying no essay and no app fee, so I was like alright! I got in BTW.

HOLY SH!T THERE IS ALOT OF GENIUSES IN HERE.

Doesn't Broohaha go to UPenn?

WTF happened to Broohaha anyway?

 

[DaWhim]

apply a few as safety school. then you can compare the financial package they give you.
I was gonna apply to that college and they had their deadline on march 1st. all my applications had the deadline on jan 15th. when the time approached, I said screw it, I knew that I wouldn't go there at all.

What the... You go to Purdue?

In response, I only applied to schools that I wanted to go to (three total).

I'm in CIMT and I should graduate in 2006, I hope...

 

[Orsorum]

I applied to UW, WWU, USC, UCSD, UCSB, and UC-Berkeley, only Berkeley rejected me.

I still wish I'd tried for a full-ride at USC.

Oh well, maybe I'll teach there after I get my LL.D.

Not there yet. I was supposed to be there this semester, but I had to take a little break to make some money so I could afford it. I'll be moving up there in late May/early June.
