Admissions Edition:
I just got accepted, but it was for General Studies.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
who /UofT/ here
what the fuck is general studies lmao
>>11088781
ayyy, what for?
Just got UCSB and Occidental College today, will hear from UC Berkeley Thursday, Amherst Friday, and next week should be Dartmouth, Princeton, Harvard, Williams, Reed, and Deep Springs College
>>11088805
>Deep Springs
effay as fuck but you're not getting in
>>11088774
>stuck in community college because I slacked off in high school
>all my friends who went off to uni are having a great time, partying, meeting people, living abroad
>still stuck at home with parents, life just as shitty as it was in high school except now i have no friends near me
Be glad you got into University anon, you'll probably have a great time regardless of your major
>>11088774
It's pretty bad. Guys from better nearby schools like Harvard, MIT, Tufts and BC treat BU's female student body like a communal toilet.
>>11088810
I mean I made it past the first round which cut out ~80-90% of applicants.
I went out to the campus for my interviews and shit for 4 days and I really enjoyed it and the students seemed to enjoy my company.
My essays were all good and my interviews were with some good friends in which I did really well.
I feel pretty good about it
>>11088805
going to occidental next year. Was looking at Kenyon, Wesleyan, bates and colorado college and USF but applied oxy ED II after visiting cause i liked it a lot.
>>11088841
It's an incredible school, amazing location- really engaging classes/intellectual environment- awesome social scene with a chill and diverse student body. Honestly one of the better universities in the world.
>>11088849
location and weather are what sold me desu. Good luck on Deep springs. very based college
>>11088874
Thanks senpai, I love how it is in LA in that you can go to the beach, mountains/snow, and downtown within an hour each- but the campus itself feels detached and not necessarily urban because of the surrounding hills. So Cal weather can't be beat but the layering game is too dirty down here- I hope you don't have a lot of tricky ricky bombers or raf parkas
Only one effay university, gents- and you are all too stupid to get into it! guffaw!
>>11088879

I'm a Junior at Harvard right now and I am going to say that you should not come here if you get in.
I regret coming here over Williams, Amherst, Princeton, and Stanford quite a bit. The campus isn't super amazing and even classically beautiful areas like the Yard are perpetually populated with Asians asking you to take a picture in front of every fucking thing there (I understand a pic in front of John Harvard but like why a picture in front of the WP?) I'm in Elliot and while the housing isn't terrible it is not half as good as other schools that you mentioned, the buildings need some serious maintenance and HDS isn't super great. I have almost no interaction with the faculty, I'm an Econ major and not one of the faculty have any idea what my name is even after being asked to do research under Greg. The social scene is pretty bleak as well and I have found that the best parties are at DTD at Tufts, some frats at BU, or Emerson (awesome for drugs). There are no parties that are worth going to because underclassmen never get invited to the good ones unless you have a connection which you will have zero opportunity to foster during your first two years. There are really whack distinct social classes yet everyone thinks they are the second coming of Christ. The start up kids, the theater kids, the final club kids, the academic kids, each one is so far up their own ass it is appalling.
>>11088892
>>11088896
Where you @ family
>>11088914
I only applied because I thought it would be funny to get in and reject Harvard- It's stupid but something something taste of their own medicine.
>>11088914
spent a week touring ivys last year for law school and holy moly harvard is a boring place.
could never live there
>>11088922
Thank God. Maybe once Harvard stops getting to live off of it's rep it'll actually put effort into being great. Best of luck in your admissions /fa/m.
>>11088925
It's bleak at best. I'm quite excited to go to Stanford or somewhere nice for grad school. However, Boston is a pretty GOAT city and there are some pretty fun places around here.
find me
any /universityofchina/ man in?
so many gooks walking around in their zanottis, bape and other trash
>>11088914
>DTD at Tufts
Tufts alum here. DTD is alright but if that's what constitutes a top-tier college party then just end me. The girls j know who went to final club parties say they're pretty much comparable.
Going to a Wellesley party with some boys with game is an experience, though they tend to put their defenses up when they find out you're form Harvard because so many Harvard guys think the name will get them laid.
you guys all 17 or what
>>11088966
>being a senior in high school, college student, graduate applicant, alumni or post gap-year
>being less than 18
>>11088934

>>11089004
The 18+ rule has been around since before Moot turned 18, I'm pretty sure. It's just an ass-covering measure for when people start complaining that the site exposes children to insppropriate stuff.
Guys recently my admissions process hasn't gone so well. I personally don't value college as something special in my future and I figured just to go for my family's sake cause I just want to lead being an entrepreneur or start my own business regardless of obtaining an MBA.
I've only gotten into 3 colleges out of the 9 extreme reaches I've applied to and they personally aren't anything to brag about, but now my mother has told my lame fucking brother who isn't as mature/sharp as I am that I haven't gotten in to a lot of colleges as if to learn from my mistakes.
I know this may sound weird but recently I'm assuming this kids hormonal levels are uncontrollable and he cannot communicate with his friends at school normally as he does in the house. He's a normal kid but has severe aggression issues and keeps trying to vent on me for some reason and every time he insults me, I insult him back but now he's been trying to pull the "how does it feel getting rejected by all colleges?" snarky comment which I unreactively have to comeback at without trying to get into a fight as I've been getting severe pain when I get into altercations.
It doesn't really faze me that I didn't get into my reach colleges, but what does affect me is why he would fucking be so lame as to constantly bring that up as if to see my downfall? Every time he would front on me I would beat the twerps ass, but now I've been getting headaches and realize it's not worth my energy nor my time.
Is it normal for a sibling to be that self-destructive to an older brother?
And would it be worth rocking this kid who isn't even a brother at this point, or will that honestly show how low I've stooped and that he's gotten to my feelings?
>>11089139
honestly if you didn't get into any good schools and your brother is dumber than you are I would just be smug at how much he is going to fail
Who else /shitmascot/ here
>>11089139
its just brotherly banter lad, im sure he still loves you
>>11089146
My SAT score is in the 2000s but my GPA is low cause I fucked up early and I was such a tryhard in APs and Honors
He's a scumbag in regular classes with a "higher" unweighted GPA therefore looks better on paper
>>11089154
No it isn't, I'm literally at the point of rocking this kid off the porch
>>11088805
YOU WANT UCSB
youre probs too smart, if you get in somewhere better go. but last year i chose ucsb over occidental/ ucsd, best decision i ever made.
>>11088839
shit onii-senpai good luck.
>>11088892
literally not the best at anything
>>11088966
what this >>11088973 guy said, graduate applicant.
>>11089139
I went to a useless undergrad and now I'm going to a top tier law school. Duke rejected me for UG and four years later I didn't even bother to apply to their shit school.
>>11089156
GPA is pretty much everything dude. It's lame but its true. As long as you have test scores near the median GPA is what gets you places.
>>11089174
you made a good choice
honestly the college you get into doesn't even fucking matter unless it's one of the super prestigious ones

It's honestly not anymore. Plus you're probably an American studying at one of the affiliate universities with the name Sorbonne.
>>11088961
They have a pretty clean house, even if they are on suspension at the moment, and as a Harvard student I can basically get in without any girls. I'll have to check out a Wellesley one at some point.
who /tu/ here?
Highly uneffay
Nobody here is remotely /fa/ in any sense. Only a two or three times have I ever passed by someone on campus and thought "well shit they dressed well today."
There's also a lot of attempted and failed mfa looks by people who think they know what they're doing.
>>11088827
lmao @ 'guys' from harvard & mit, every party i ever went to you could tell who went to those schools because they were the biggest pussies, no party pussy for them, just some boco tinder pussy. nice try. lmfao nice fucking try hahaha
>Cornell here
it's really pretty but the weather means a lot of people just bundle up a lot and it harshes their /fa/. 7/10 would recommend
>>11089196
/thread
so true
no one gives a fuck anymore about undergrad unless you are going into investment banking and need a good school to get you a shitty analyst position, or going into computer science or some shit
go to whatever undergrad you want, if you plan on getting a master's then try to be a little more selective, but even then NO ONE GIVES A FUCK
i know friends who went to 'shitty texas schools' who are making 2.5-3x the salary/bonus literally first fucking year out of undergrad than my friends from these 'prestigious ivy leagues'
>>11088816
Same man, i have a 2.8 gpa and my test scores are average, everyone says you come out of your shell in college so i guess there is no hope of me having a good life,
Feels bad man
>>11089798
I go to Ithaca College, there are like 7 /fa/ people here, pretty small but has good programs, so that's really the only reason I'm here
>>11089838
Ithaca itself is pretty /fa/, which I value more than the people themselves being /fa/
it could be worse, I could be at Dartmouth where the town sucks too
>>11089813
Also got no extra curriculars because lack of interest and shyness so im not getting into 90% of the schools im applying to
0/10 effay
>>11089570
But I'm an European studying at Panthéon, which is as Sorbonne as it can get, so you missed all three claims.
anyone else actually /ivyleagueprep/ here?
>>11088774
I got into CGS at BU too but only through the Boston-London program and desu that ruined BU for me, I'm probably going to Northeastern instead.

>>11088914
ay I'm econ at Princeton trust me I wish I went to Harvard
>>11088914
Okay that sounds disappointing and all but isn't the whole point of going to Harvard the job prospects and alumni network? I'm sure other things could get better, but a lot of people would put up with a lot more BS just to have that kind of leg up career-wise. Anyway, Cambridge is an awesome town so you're beating most universities just in terms of location.
>>11088893
Keep your chin up mate.
I go to Cornell and I can tell you that the kids heads are probably almost as far up their own asses, except that there not even especially smart or gifted. Most people have crazy inferiority complexes which they parade around campus by doing shit like showing off that they know the answer in intro classes, bragging about how rich their dad is etc. Pretty much everything is exclusive but the flip side of people being stupid and insecure is that there is a fair amount of debauchery to be had. grading is also pretty harsh. But i think having a solid circle of friends and a positive outlook has made college a neutral to good experience for me. I have a brother at one of the schools you listed and he dislikes most of the kids plus it's much harder than Harvard. Look on the bright side, at least you have Boston, comparatively easy grading, and stupid people will think you're a genius for the rest of your life for whatever that's worth.
>>11089970
you replied to the wrong person senpai
>>11089970
to be fair I think it's like this at every ivy not just Cornell
people at Dartmouth and Brown are incredibly insecure about their positions as well, and Columbia and Penn students just kill themselves
>>11089194
>law school
lol
young attorney here, law school super sucks and so does the legal job market
do not go unless you have scholarship. even with a decent salary student loans will choke you for years. hope you've made your research. if you do poorly first year just drop out because it will haunt you and hurt your job opportunities.

>>11089962
Sure, the job prospects are stellar and I've gained some fantastic opportunities through the Alum network which have allowed me to intern at Brookings my freshman summer, and PWC my sophomore summer. But you're mistaken if you think that only Harvard can offer that to a student. Most prestigious universities have comprehensive alumni networks that will strongly advantage your career building opportunities, even a middle end state school like the University of Georgia offers a very nice alumni network.
I agree with you on Cambridge, it is an awesome city with great people and a lot of interesting diversity.
>>11090024
Hopefully get into a good grad school and get my PhD, then work in the government or a think tank like Brookings. Potentially working for the World Bank or IMF doing third world economic research and development.

I was incredibly lazy at school and had a huge sense of arrogance with a lot of teachers, I got good grades but still.

Harvard guy here.
I'm not going to claim to be effay at all with my basic as fuck prep fits so I will just skirt around that question but I'll try and approach the other ones.
I view students at the top LACs in the same exact light as I view students from any HYPSM school. They are very smart (or connected) and passionate about learning, they have the same exact diverse range of opportunity ahead of them as any student from HYPSM. Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Pomona, etc all have extremely comparable programs to any Ivy League undergraduate expirience and will grant a student much more access to faculty and research opportunities. Like I said in my original post, the faculty hardly know who I am despite doing copious work for them in my two and a half years here. Sometimes LACs can be much more conservative with their financial aid and thus can make it difficult to be able to afford the giant price tag as opposed to the elite universities where they could make it free tuition for every student and pay for it off of the interest of their endowment.
I've heard from friends who ended up going to the LACs that places like Williamstown, Amherst (though they have UMass?), and Brunswick are socially dead and very difficult to find any sort of interesting sub culture. However, at that point you have to weigh what you are going to college for.
went to Keene this year. Seemed good when I visited but it sucks lol. Honestly I only went here because it was the best of the schools I applied to and I was invited to join the Honors society. Seemed like a good deal, small scholarship and I get to live in a suite instead of a standard dorm room. Unfortunately everyone in honors is either an autist or a loser. Probably sounds douchey but it's true. Kids dress like absolute shit here too. I mean you guys call Stan Smiths a meme but I'm dead ass the only person on campus who owns a pair, at least that I've seen lmao. Closest shit I've seen is a couple pairs of adidas NEO's, which are middle school tier.
Point is, I'm transferring to a school in Boston next year, probably Suffolk. Anyone here know what the story is on social shit there? I know a girl from highschool that goes there who's pretty cool and probably hangs out with a solid group but other than that I'll be going in somewhat blind.
sorry for the life story. Don't go to Keene.
Currently deciding between Boston College and the University of Vermont. BC obviously has better name recognition, but UVM is far more affordable. I'll never make a lot of money because I want to be a public defender so I think I'm going with UVM. If there are any students at either one of these I would appreciate your input.
>>11091314
Yeah i dunno usually what you see is what you get with those dudes.

He called you an autist loser. go defend your honor and beat the shit out of him.

>>11091394
Nah, he is right. I'm transferring out of Keene to a much much much better school next year.
>>11091329
RISD is a strong as fuck school. Kids from Brown have a ton of respect for them and RISD guys even have a reputation for poaching hot Brown girls. I don't have a ton of experience with art schools, but people who went to SCAD and MassArt seem to hold RISD in high esteem.
>>11091377
I've never heard of anyone being super impressed by a BC diploma, and I know people who went to UVM and are extremely successful, so if money's potentially an issue, follow the scholarship.
>>11091376
>adidas NEO's, which are middle school tier
shit I wear those, I gotta disagree with you. I like them a bit more than stans.
My buddy is a junior at suffolk, its got an average social scene. The honors' dorms have shit students living in them, be careful about picking where/with who you stay.
Nothing too special in the social aspect at the school but if you put forth effort to meet people in clubs/events you'll be good. Go to umass amherst on the weekends if you want to actually party.

MIT here. Currently part of research team in Quantum mechanics. I hate it here. The women are stuck up as fuck. The black kids are strange as hell, and all the white guys are either homosexuals, or are complete shut ins.
UCLA would've been better.
>>11091141
shame, where you going instead?
>>11089813
I had a 2.2 GPA and 34 on my ACT. I didn't get accepted to anything because every uni thought I was cheating on my ACT score.
Currently comm college. This is just cancer.
Got accepted early to UC Berkeley and want to go there. Thoughts? I want to do Economics or Linguistics. Are there actually any good surfers at Berkeley? I want to surf big OB but not alone.
>>11091329
if you think you'd like CalArts because it's in LA - it's not. LA proper is a solid 45 minute drive away (without traffic, 1:30hr with) and the town it's in is a boring suburbia.
at least with RISD, you're stuck there with all the other students as there's not much to do in the surrounding area and that'll create a better 'university' experience.
I've been rejected by 6 schools were I was within the middle 50% for test scores and was recruited for sports. What did I do wrong /fa/milia?
>>11091473
Cowabunga dude!! XD
>>11091463
I know MIT football players and frat guys who don't seem that weird or gay. Can you not hang out with them?
You're def right about the girls though. Holy shit are MIT girls annoying.

Or you had shitty essays and were boring.
If anyone here currently goes to Reed can you share your thoughts on it?
>>11091493
Same guy here- I feel like a piece of shit because I've been accepted to two decent schools, but I'm still not satisfied. I know it's said it doesn't matter where you go it's what you do, but I genuinely feel like this somewhat limits where I'm going (immediately and in the future).
>>11091502
White (immigrant) from northeast. My essays always couldve been better, but I really thought they were notable at least.
>>11091473
ucsb/uci are way better schools for surfing, but they'd both be a drop down from berkeley prestige/education wise.
ucb is top tier and you won't regret it, everyone i know who went there loved it and has little to complain about their education/college experience. tons of really cool people, which is unexpected for such a high ranking school where you'd assume they would be shut in weirdos.
>>11091528
SD is so good for surfing and is a really good school as well
>>11091535
totally forgot about sd, funny how it gets overlooked so often when it's such a good school. sd's STEM programs are top notch for sure, haven't heard about their humanities tho.
britcuck here
probably going to do a semester at uPenn next year, will i have fun?
Anyone?
>>11089147
i live in irvine and im 90% sure im going to ucsb
FUCK this boring ass city, nothing to do. if u wanna spend every weekend at the spectrum or the marketplace then go for it, but if u want interesting things, or a city that can teach u life this is not the place to be
>>11091497
Fun fact: a lot of frat guys are closeted homosexuals, or never want to hang out. Some of their lives consist of "must do this, and this. No parties. Only one path" kind of mentality. Also, the women- my god. This girl from my high school got accepted into MIT along side me, and she was ALWAYS the most stuck up piece of shit ever. I would try to flirt with her and she'd just "Don't talk to me that way. You should have more respect for people like me. What's wrong with you?"
She's not even smart. She literally cheated in everything during high school, and currently has a horrid GPA. Not to mention, she's literally tried to sleep with almost every dude in the football team, even though they're not interested.
>>11091329
Just got accepted to CalArts too (for animation)
Waiting to hear back from Harvard and Brown.
Let's go to CalArts together, friend.
>>11091484
uh providence is pretty dope buddy
>>11090940
/neu/ here. do it. this school is looking great as hell on resumes and coop is actually insanely useful
but seriously admission thread on /fa/ wtf literally most un/fa/ topic
>>11091552
yeah you'll have fun getting shot if you leave campus
>>11091528
I'm glad to hear that impression of the people at Cal. If there's one thing that I cannot stand, it's the test-prep college-bound dispassionate shut-in weirdo archetype. Thanks for the reassurance my friend.

>>11091424
I know a kid at UMass amherst. I definitely am trying to party so I might hit him up.
>>11088774
I go to a lot of frat parties there. Plenty of bitches to fuck
Whos coming to FIT? Its alot of fun!
>>11090959
ahahahaha fuck you joey
Whoever got into UCSB, I implore you to go. I chose it over NYU and William and Mary and this is absolutely the best school for me. It's such an amazing place.
>>11091768
I've got a few options already but I am waiting on some other decisions that come out in early May.
Can I just say that I have Stans and Common Memes and wear them pretty regularly. Keep your eye out.
>>11091525
are you poor? I graduated valedictorian, ib diploma, 35 ACT, 2310 SAT, sports clubs extracurriculars etc etc etc.
But I'm hella poor so every school I applied to except UCSB turned me down. Like USC denied me.
>>11091829
shit senpai, I can't believe I haven't seen you.
>>11091783
been seriously looking into FIT. nobody in my family knows I'm really into fashion but I think this looks like a great school. how is it?
>>11091838
Famalam, we've probably seen each other at some point. I couldn't place a name to your face but the fact that you specified you aren't an autist and you live in the Honors hallway narrows it down a lot.
>>11091572
yeah, I like the university itself but everywhere around it is complete shit
>>11091783
I'm interested in this. Any pointers?
>>11091872
I'll be looking for stans/cp's in holloway bruh.
>>11091463
Ayy same u undergrad?
>>11088805
went to sb. they are one of the top research uni's in the world. they do party alot but once you get a core of friends you'll never regret going there. i know people that went to MIT for chem e that graduated from there i know people that work in Washington. trust me Santa Barbara is where its at
>>11091602
Wow that's hard to believe. Those types of girls got into Notre Dame/U Chicago in my school, not really a super prestigiously, high-caliber college like an Ivy or Caltech/MIT.
The only people that got into anything ridiculously difficult was Stanford in my class was a black kid who is trying to be an engineer but didn't appear so bright compared to the kids that got rejected (cough * affirmative action* cough) and a mulatto girl was salutatorian that got into MIT while a kid who's parents have legacy were wait-listed (probably won't get in)
College is a sham
Accepted to go next fall. Will most likely go because of the scholarship I've got. I've heard it's not too effay but a fun school nonetheless.
31 ACT, 3.6 GPA (got B's in spanish and band), 5 science/math APs, 4 DE history/english classes, varsity athlete, jazz and classical musician, volunteered at UWMC
>this is the only place I got in ;_;
I know my stats are shit but jesus. might as well just finish my AA at community college
>>11092030
Its not a bad school you fucking pleb.
>>11092030
I know quite a few people with 3.9+ and 2000+ SAT 31+ ACT who got rejected
>>11092030
I got a 31 on my ACT and got accepted to WSU too.
31 is in the zone of better than the majority of undergrads but not good enough for any truly great school.
>>11092069
from WSU? they have an 80% acceptance rate
>>11092086
I feel you man, I wish I never fucked around freshman/sophomore year so my GPA could round me out. did you apply to UW? i got waitlisted there, pretty embarrassing desu
>>11091662
What year are you in?
>>11091564
Might be going there. What's your opinion of the school (grils,culture) and what are you studying?
I'm curious if anyone can give me their experience if they have gone to any of these colleges.
College of Wooster
Puget Sound
CU
Bates
NYU
Skidmore
Lafayette
Do i pick the school I think Im going to enjoy the most or the school thats going to help me the most in the future?
For instance I think I like Puget Sound more than Bates but i bates would likely give me more opportunities in the future.
I'm just not really sure how i should decide which college i should go to.
I know its retarded but going to a school with 80% acceptance rate also irrational
embarrasses me/ scares me for my future.
Should I be worried?
I think it comes from the very competitive nature of my high school but i cant get passed it
>>11092224
Bates is a pretty cool place, not sure why youprefer Puget, but I loved the Bates campus and all of my friends who went there said it had an unparalleled positive community.
>>11092234
not really sure i prefer it. Just things I like at each.
Mainly the weather/location scare me.
Thanks for the input though Ive heard great things about it also.
>>11092216
accounting.
also, i don't talk to girls too much so i don't really know. culture seems very work centered.
nobody wants to be at the school too long.
>>11092242
That's true, I visited in the summer and it was mild and fresh- but Maine winters are a bitch. Theup side is you get actual seasons which means you can actually layer and shit to be the most /fa/ possible.
>>11092270
Thats what i was thinking
>>11088781
Yeah mayn. I'm guessing there's quite a few of us here on the low.
>>11090432
i'm a med student in maryland
don't do it
I got accepted to Connecticut College but it's so small that i doubt anyone on /fa/ attends
>>11091986
College is all a joke in the end. I'm prolly gonna get a majors in Embry Riddle just for it's aeronautical program, instead of staying in Quantum mechanics.
University is simply a place for partying, and fucking- no education. Just bullshit.
Should I go here?
>>11090836
LSE is alright. Fresher right now and I've not found my first year that bad. Social side is pretty good but workload and education is a bit shit.
Alright guys these are the only colleges I've got so far
Drew University
Fordham (Waitlist, strong possible acceptance maybe?)
UCF
UWF
That's it...nothing much else left except American University, Haverford, and Amherst
Regardless I'm probably only going to get into American University out of those last 3. I'm cooked guys
>>11089147
shit school desu

my friend goes there and seems to enjoy it.

Shit. Got denied uchi.
Into UMich, Northwestern, Boston College. BC is too expensive, Mich is 30k/yr. Wait listed at Vanderbilt.
Should get into USC. Also have Rice and Duke on my list, neither of which are very likely, but it just takes one..
Hoping one of the ivies pulls through in a miracle and gives me some money. Im on free lunch for fucks sake.
I should have worked harder.
>>11092443
which ivies did you apply to?
2 shits at my school got full rides to usc, good luck there
how is talking about college fashion related?
and why is everyone here a high schooler who just got accepted?

this board is so fucking hilarious
