Just got accepted to DeVry University

[arcenite]

I am so excited, I'm not even sure I believe it yet... Probably going to go to the Ft. Washington, PA campus. :beer: for everyone on me!

Update: 10 years later, no I did not go to DeVry. I literally owe a few people in this thread a beer. I did wind up going to community college, transferring to and graduating from a state school (Rutgers) with a CS degree. I laughed quite hard at the resurrection of this thread post my thanks thread. After re-reading this thread, I sincerely apologize for the way I reacted to some of you as I was going through my denial phase.

Hey you can all make fun of the school if you want, but it's better then being made fun of when you're a 40 year old man working at mcdonalds. If you don't have something nice to say, just go away :|

Chill dude, I said congrats. I didn't know you had to apply. As long as your doing something to improve yourself in life, its all good.

Congratulations and all, but honestly, is there no other school you could go to? DeVry is considered a relatively poor college overall.

I got accepted into Pasadena City College as a MAE! I'm so excited!

Why is it considered a poor school?

People put too much emphasis on how prestigious the school they go to. Just ignore the asshats.

 

[MisterCornell]

Congratulations. I hope you make the most of this opportunity.

 

[Proletariat]

You guys are so mean.

Grats arcenite.

Why Devry..wouldn't it be cheaper and better regarded to go to basically any state school?

 

[StageLeft]

Congrats! Now off to the store and buy some (B).

 

[rocadelpunk]

i'll admit at first i thought it was a parody thread.


best of luck to you, one thing i've definitely learned in college is it's never how smart you are, it's all about the work/effort.

 

[EyeMWing]

You'll make a lovely subordinate one day. Maybe I'll even let you work the helpdesk!

From my knowledge about nursing programs at these tech schools, it's expensive (when compared to a state school or community college) and my mom (an RN) says that they churn out some pretty piss poor nurses. I guess the upside is that you get in and out fairly quickly. Don't know much about Devry or their computer program.

You must have done well on your GED. Congrats!
