And it's about damn time, too... most of my friends have already heard back from their schools. I'm putting in to Carleton (MN), Reed and Lewis & Clark in Portland, Kalamazoo, and the University of Michigan. Who else is bashing through these trying times?

Yeah, im a WA local, junior. Im hoping for the UW, somewhere close to skiing. No east coast for me either... i need mountians, not hills.

Oh shit, there it goes....

All these skier kids want to see nowadays is big air. You want to see some big air? Pull my finger...

Kami- I have gotten some info from Reed and it looks like a great school (I'm assuming your definitely looking for a small lib arts). I'm thinking a lot of really smart people who didn't really like the high school atmosphere so much so didn't spend their life on school work kind of place. Im going to Chicago this weekend so I'm gonna visit the campuses of Northwestern and Univ. of Chicago (probably my top choice right now). Reed looks like a good option as far as smaller schools go though, plus Portland is much closer to quality skiing than Chicago. But good luck w/ your apps.

Western State College is where it's at. At least that's where I'm at. Can't beat Avalanche Safety, Advanced Alpine Skiing, and Wilderness First Responder as college courses.

Western is in Gunnison,CO. 30 miles south of Crested Butte. Pretty much in the middle of fuckin nowhere, but that's partly what makes it cool. If you are into the city thing, then you would hate it. I'm not actually enrolled right now. After the winter season and a NOLS semester in the Yukon or Alaska I will be though. I guess it's time to make some progress after 6 semesters in school and only 40-something hours to show for it.

Ontario applications were not due today. You have until Feb. 1, they encourage you to do it before Dec. 1 though, I'm applying on the internet, it's easier. I'm applying on Monday to Humber, that's all I'm applying to cause that's the only place I want to go.

Boulder is not that much for in-state or out of state. I'm thinking its probably about 8 grand for in state turition and 18 for out of state but theres a bunch of people on here who go there so theyd know. 31 K will pay for a year at an Ivy school, I don't think any state schools cost that much.

Skierdood- There IS a Lewis AND Clark college in Portland. I would know, because I just applied to Lewis AND Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I'm sure there's one in Lewiston, too, no one thinks you're lying.

I slayed my SATs, 1500, so I can get into pretty much anywhere I apply to... but money is a concern, and of course I want good skiing around. Which is why I'm looking at Portland and the Pacific Northwest. I think Reed would be an awesome school for me because it's renowned as the most challenging literary school in the country, their classics department is amazing. Plus the fact that I'm a brilliant and quirky bookworm, which means I would fit in quite well.

G-dubs I hope you like U.Chicago and Northwestern, I just messaged you about them. They are both kick-ass schools although Northwestern has a heavy beautiful-person preppy vibe to it... I'd be going to one of those schools if I had the money, and if there was good skiing nearby.

I definitely wouldn't say that 'a lot' of schools have snow/ski oriented courses. University of Utah seems cool, but I dig the wilderness so I'll stay where I'm at. The people in Colorado are more fun.

you're gonna be paying like 20k just for tuition out of state at boulder, not to mention every other living expense, which adds up to probably 30 grand. it is as expensive out of state as any other public school. there isn't much of anything close to mammoth, but UNR is about 45 minutes from tahoe, sac state and uc davis hour and a half

about 2-2.5 hours. I actually live in Boulder, but I've researched every school within skiing. Unfortunately, there are few really topnotch ski schools, and the few that are close are ridiculously expensive. Looks like I have to settle for CU.
