bates had sooooo many applicants this year. im sure that princeton was that much of a fluke and that you would have gotten in to bates too. im assuming you applied regular decision to bates. 2/3 of the accepted applicants came from early decision.

UVM, Geneseo, Allegheny, waitlisted at Colorado College, and got into the Ag school at McGill. I didn't realize this was a totally different campus, though, and would want to transfer to either sciences or arts and sciences downtown. Anybody know how easy interfaculty transferring is at McGill? Please?
and waiting on Cornell tomorrow

I had a good mix of A's and B's and I even had a C+ in math one semester. I think they overlooked that though seeing as how I got an A the next semester. I had a 3.65 GPA but I got a 2080 on my SAT's and had a very solid list of extracurriculars.

I would go to Brown, it was my top choice, but I didn't get enough financial aid to go there. Unfortunately I have to choose where I go based upon financial aid.

stanford would be sooooo dope.

unfortunately for me, i dont want ot go to any of the places i got in (western state, u of u, lyndon state) so i may go to umaine farmington for a year before transferring somewhere else, or a cc about ten minutes from my town for 2 years to save money, boost my gpa, and get gen ed courses done.

after all of that, thinking of ohio state, virginia tech, unh

word dude, CC's arent too bad, im going to one this year ,i got into all my schools last year, but wasnt sure if i wanted to go to those ones/what i wanted to do. so i opted for cc, and next year im going to FL to do what i really wanted to do, not just what other people said i should go to school for. it saved like 10k after just 1 year, and i just knocked out some gen eds.

yeah def. im waiting on fin. aid from umf and will decide then.

one nice part about going to a cc is that my parents said i could turn our basement into a makeshift apartment. i will also have consistent work during the time at cc, so i could pay for it.

one issue is that id be missing the college experience

living in dorms, shitty food, partying;

i still need to weigh the pros and cons of each

mine really care about all of that stuff. the last party i went to, i have a sip of a highly diluted screwdriver, i walked in the house, said goodnight and my mom sniped me for it. she knew but i told her she was nuts.

and i really want the college experience, but dont want to drop a ton of coin on some place i dont want to go
