Has anyone tried applying to the University of Utah?  Their application is so easy.  It took me like 5 minutes.  Now if only they waived the application fee, I would apply.

Not sure yet, but I'm doing my application for UVM right now because the deadline for the free application for Vermonters is November 1st.
It's kinda looking like I might be applying to Montana State and U of U, possibly Boulder and Utah State, but I have to look at that one more.

Ya, I know who the hell does that?

I didn't find out about that until after I'd registered for my senior year classes, so how the hell am I suppossed to get an extra year of both chemistry and physics?  Not to mention I took my school's highest chem class junior year so in order to take 2 years of chem, I would have to take a lower level class which is just dumb.

most canadian universities are like that. it's pretty annoying. for example to enter most masters programs, you have to do a bachelor's in the same degree and usually the honors program. i would think that most kids get burnt out by the time they make it to that level. i like the US system a lot more, where they allow you to enter masters programs without the same bachelors degree- allows for more variety imo
