I'm just wondering where the interweb's resident intellects (apparently) don't get enough mental stimulation. Me? I applied ED to Haverford College. I should hear this Monday. -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 1:23 am on Dec. 14, 2008 We don't have college over here.. So when I finish High School next year I will be attending Melbourne University. -- Posted by blufindr at 1:29 am on Dec. 14, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 8:23 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 We don't have college over here..

Also applying for MIT in America, and maybe also for Harvard and Dartmouth if I get a really good SAT next year. -- Posted by mirahawk at 3:47 am on Dec. 14, 2008 I'm applying for the University of Queensland. Or QUT, but would love to go to MIT like blufindr. -- Posted by Event Horizon at 9:42 am on Dec. 14, 2008 MIT isn't all that great of an undergraduate school. Yea, it is the leading tech school for graduates --and they do like to accept alum. for graduate school-- but the UG program isn't as awesome as you might think. I applied, but never did any of the application process --interview, etc. Wound up going to Rensselaer Polytechnic. Though, mostly because MIT's Astronautical Engineering dept. isn't a very large program.   Probably wouldn't have gotten in anyway. You need to have done a TON of extra-curricular work in the field of science or engineering. edit: Just to clarify, I am not claiming that MIT's undergrad program is easy or easy to get into, and especially not that it doesn't put out good engineers. Just that it isn't the mecca of engineering as most people view it as. -- Posted by ckenyon at 11:07 am on Dec. 14, 2008 Just to clarify, by "college" I mean university-level schools. I know that in some parts of Europe (at least) "college" is highschool. Such is the case in France, I think. -- Posted by Colleen35 at 5:20 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 I go to University of Chicago.  We have a bunch of fun mottos to dissuade people from coming and proclaim our status as brilliant.

Lim u->c ∫e^x = 0 -- Posted by matto at 7:53 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 I find out MIT early action tomorrow at 6PM -_- I got into SFSU, and I applied to UC's Berkeley and Santa Cruz.  Also, depending on MIT results, any combination of some of these: Cornell, Caltech, RPI, CMU, and Stanford. I won't be disappointed if I don't get into MIT.  No lie, though: it looks like a really fun place to learn.  College is college, though, when everything is boiled down. -- Posted by tell me again at 7:55 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 1:29 am on Dec. 14, 2008 Quote: from roflfuckyou at 8:23 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 We don't have college over here..

Just come back from a Forensic science taster two day course at Nottingham university which was excellent so that's a definite possibility I suppose. -- Posted by Sector Corrupt at 10:42 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 I'm doing Software Engineering at University of Waterloo, Waterloo, On. It's probably one of the best schools if not the best in Canada for Engineering + Computer Science, But I don't know how much those outside of good ol' Canada have heard about it. -- Posted by Charolastra at 11:01 pm on Dec. 15, 2008 i'm going to smith college right now. this is a more verbose post this is a more verbose post this is a more verbose post -- Posted by ckenyon at 5:32 pm on Dec. 16, 2008 Update: I got in.

As far as experimental education goes, it's one of the best schools around. I only applied to 5 schools- Hampshire, Reed, Knox, Earlham, and Beloit. I really didn't go for a school with a huge reputation, but a lot of that had to do with the application process. To be honest, I probably could have gotten into my choice of schools, but it had more to do with my uniqueness as a candidate than fantastic grades or test scores (I had a 2.8 GPA with a full IB diploma and a 2120 on the SAT). -- Posted by GoloSLB at 1:11 am on Dec. 23, 2008 I was supposed to go to Stanford, but I decided that I wanted to go to Berkeley instead, and now this isn't gonna work out some I'm going to U London probably.  I missed first semester because of family drama but I'm already at almost 3rd year status at most American Universities.  I dunno about U London, I'll just have to make up a lot of work I guess.  What else is new. -- Posted by fenrir at 2:44 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Harding University BA in General Studies (Bible and Religion) 29 JULY 06 (Graduation) Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Master of Divinity Master of Arts in Christian Education Fall 2012 (Projected Graduation) University of Texas (Austin, TX) Degree in Law Spring 2015 (Projected Graduation) Where next?  Let me get through these attainable goals for me first. -- Posted by Mikoto at 2:52 am on Dec. 23, 2008 I'm currently studying Photography at the University of Hertfordshire.

On a minor note, I've known more than my fair share of IB students from high school who dropped college altogether or flunked out due to too much drinking, but does that make me an expert over who'll graduate?  Certainly not. -- Posted by blufindr at 9:54 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Major at 8:59 am on Dec. 24, 2008 or i know people that have applied and gotten in-- and rejected-- from MIT, and being asian does not help Still doesn't mean you have any kind of authority to decide who will get in where. -- Posted by major at 12:10 pm on Dec. 24, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 9:54 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Major at 8:59 am on Dec. 24, 2008 or i know people that have applied and gotten in-- and rejected-- from MIT, and being asian does not help Still doesn't mean you have any kind of authority to decide who will get in where. waste your money applying, i don't give a fuck lol -- Posted by blufindr at 7:13 pm on Dec. 24, 2008 Quote: from Major at 7:10 am on Dec. 25, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 9:54 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Major at 8:59 am on Dec. 24, 2008 or i know people that have applied and gotten in-- and rejected-- from MIT, and being asian does not help    Still doesn't mean you have any kind of authority to decide who will get in where. waste your money applying, i don't give a fuck lol If you sincerely didn't give a fuck, you wouldn't have said anything I'ma get in just to spite you. -- Posted by gief at 9:33 pm on Dec. 24, 2008 I attend the University of Michigan.
