Applying To Colleges

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I applied to six colleges.

Got accepted into West Virginia University, and the University of Alabama. Along with 2 deferments and a rejection.

Where are you attending?

Most likely WVU as it's cheaper.

My junior year was miserable. Marred by bad grades, and depression. Killed my chances of getting into top tier schools like UNC-Chapel Hill or Michigan.


But oh well, life goes on. Gotta work with what I got

@ Ben: Nah, Commity college not really an option i'd like. But I did apply to App state (in state school), which is a UNC system school so i could go that route (I get a response  on the 26th)



@ Tmthforu94: Thanks I applied to App state in state, and ECU.

where did you apply/get in?

I applied to: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, UVA, William and Mary, Northwestern, Emory, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, and Michigan.  I've gotten into Michigan, and deferred at Georgetown; I'm still waiting on everyone else.

Quite an impressive list! Congrats on Michigan, it's a great school!

I have a friend who went to WVU. What are you thinking of doing there?

I applied to Massachusetts, Rutgers, Connecticut, Vassar, Bishop's, and Williams. I got into all but Rutgers, which gave me a deferment, and now I'm studying Japanese Literature at UMass. I love it.

I'm planning to study Political Science.

and yea, I know that feeling...I got rejected by ECU, but got into Alabama and WVU. lol.

Don't go to college to study political science. It's a waste of money unless you want to go to law school, which is a crap shoot these days.

I plan to go to Law school, and hopefully become a lobbyist. (The Law degree would help if my plans fall apart)

Of course things can always change.

Don't go to law school if you don't want to become a lawyer. It's not worth it.

Yep. I'm looking at Law too, and everyone tells me not to do it unless I actually want to be a lawyer. It's a lot of time and money, certainly.

I have an Aunt who lives in Raleigh...huge Duke fans. I like them too. You should try and transfer to Duke - it's one of the best schools in the South, easily the best school in North Carolina and the ACC.

Too much $$$ and UNC > Duke

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I have a lot of regrets from junior year. But I'm not gonna cry about not being able to go to UNC, or Texas A+M, or Michigan

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I'll let that one slide...

It's good to have another High School Senior on here to converse with about college. Personally, I'm leaning towards Kansas right now, though Indiana, Xavier, and Baylor are still in the mix. I entertained the idea of Notre Dame, but the financial burden would just kill me there.

My SAT tutor went to Kansas. Play baseball there Good school

That's awesome Ben! Congrats


Well, lots of my friends got into UNC-Chapel Hill on Thursday

And Appalachian State gives me their decision next week. I visited them on Thursday, was pretty fun.

Not sure which I prefer App or WVU. The sports fan in me says WVU. But idk....App is a great school :S

EDIT: I'm not saying Sports would be THE factor that decides where I go, but it's important to me, as stupid as it sounds.

I decided West Virginia University is the place for me Can't wait to be a Mountaineer!

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

I got into the University of Minnesota.

God, you kids are so smart. I had to suck a big bag of dicks to get into a Community College with 100% acceptance rates.

Haha  yea!

I got into West Virginia, Alabama, and Ole Miss and will be attending West Virginia in the fall. I feel so dumb lol! Plus I only took 5 APs, while, I bet some people here took like 10!


lol it's good to be on an intelligent forum though

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

Good Luck Ben!

btw, which ivies did you apply to? I know you said Harvard was one of them.

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

i just realized that   I'm going to go to college that sent me my first acceptance letter! lol!


Go WVU

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

well, it's official my graduating high school class is full of geniuses... lol.

2 more people got into Cornell yesterday, one into Penn, and 1 into Princeton (top of our class). Add on 3-4 Duke acceptances, and the bucketload of kids who got into UNC-Chapel Hill  awhile back.



I now, officially, feel little and insignificant

EDIT: Just wanna add in, that I'm proud of my HS for breaking all the stereotypes of High school in these 4 years

[I'm JewCon in name only.]

[I'm JewCon in name only.]
