Alright so I know there was a thread about this last year so I searchbarred to see if there was one for this year and didn't find anything so I thought I'd start it up. My bad if there is already one.

Just got my first one from UVM today. Pretty excited.

Who else got in where?

you should apply to temple university too. they are looking around a 3.0-3.3 gpa. i almost went to temple originally. philly seems like a really cool town. temple is in a very rough neighborhood but its supposed to be a good school. i might look into it for grad school. i believe drexel is closer to upenn in a better part of town.

lol. I applied to the same three.
and one other instate incase out of state doesnt work, but that would take a lot of bullshit.
I got into Northern Arizona U, waiting on the other three.
Its not a matter of getting in for me, but more what scholarships i get.

Why do Americans refer to any post - secondary institution as "college"?

When I hear college, I automatically think of a lower level education. However, I've noticed that you guys have named some pretty big, div 1 schools under the category of 'college'?

In America, I believe the difference between "colleges" and "universities" is that universities has separate colleges within them - for example, they have the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Engineering, Business, etc. - whereas "colleges" are usually smaller schools that aren't divided up, they just have different majors (business major, engineering major)

I don't know though, what I told you could be complete bullshit.

Im not doubting you, but I just find it funny that every graphic design major I know all think that their school is the equivalent to Harvard.

Anyone who applied to UVM, tell me your name.  I have my work study job at the admissions office and I send out your acceptance letters.  I can look out for your names.  they are flying out like crazy right now.  I forgot what her name was, but I opened na application from some girl who was a good freestyle skier.  From the east coast, lots of competition results.  I was wondering if she was on here.

in the US, college is the term for anything after highschool. we pretty much never say "yeah i'm going to uni next year."

most people in the US do 4 years in college (same this as "university" for canadians), but some people do 2 years in community college (same thing as "college" for canadians) then finish their degree at another school.

in summation US college = canadian university and US community college = canadian college
