The Great College Tussle

[Mercedes Benzene]

Okay, so for high school seniors, this is about the time that the search for colleges ends, and the applications begin. I think it's safe to say that this is one of the most stressful times in a high-schooler's life. So here's the thread to make things easier.

Feel free to share your current experiences and struggles OR If you've already been through all this stuff feel free to share your past experiences to help those who are going through it right now.

 

I'm about 50% done with all my apps. and my final list of colleges I'm applying to:

Boston College

Northeastern University

University of Massachusetts -- Amherst

Yale University

University of Connecticut

University of Maryland -- Baltimore Campus and College Park

Gerogetown University

Seton Hall University

 

I'll post updates as things happen, and I ask others to do the same.

I remember my first college tussle. :evil:

 

On a serious note. For gods sakes go where you want. Take out the loan and go where you want.

 

It's ludicrously expensive. But how much does a lifetime of "if only's..." cost you?

For gods sakes go where you want.

Seconding, thirding and fourthing this one! I won't even nag you about not applying to any west coast schools as long as your favorite is on that list and that you *go for it*!

 

Even if you don't get in to that one, plan on doing a transfer, which is a heck of a lot easier than getting in the first year.

 

You are forever the college you choose!

 

Go Bears! :xparty:

Take my word for it. I love all the colleges up there. My favorite is probably University of Connecticut, and I fell in love the first time I ever visited there.

 

...plus, being give $2.8 billion by the state to upgrade/completely build from scratch many of their facilities is a bonus!

The chemistry building is to die for!

UPDATE:

In the last week, I've been accepted to both UConn and UMass-Amherst.

I won't find out about the others I applied to until early this spring, but I've pretty much settled on UConn.

 

Anyone else get any acceptances?

 

P.S. It's not so much of a tussle anymore. :confused:
