It's a shitty school in a shitty location with high tuition. The answer to that question should be obvious.

Do you really think I know the names of their individual schools?

Why are you asking me about their photography?

Westminster College in Salt Lake. The Tuition is scary to look at, but they hand out scholarships like candy. Literally only 4 kids in my class didnt earn any scholarships their freshman year. I got a 3.35 GPA in highschool, and I'm getting 2/3rds paid for, just as a point of reference

MSU is all SAT's. I had a 2.8 GPA in HS and a 1960 on the SAT's and I'm paying 150% of in state tuition. If you are from a western state you'd get the same thing with a 2120. If you get a 2140 you get a ballin' ass presidential scholarship which is basically everything paid for.

hey im just wondering why are y'all who are applying to Mcgill want to attend there, besides the fact that mcgill is highly ranked you dont really get the college xperience ike you do in the states, the school is under funded and the class sizes are huge, most intro classes are >900 students. also its such a huge university and nobody really lives on campus. i am wondering this because i was accepted as a transfer and i deferred my acceptance till this january and i am thinking about attending only because of how cheap it is, i am from british columbia.

that's not true. I went to a community college to get my AAS and then transferred to MSU, I had to have a 3.2 to get into the school of Business. I'm not saying that's a super high threshhold, but it isn't the lowest, either.

The thing is all your friends will be gone at college. I just meet with people in my dorms and everyone that smokes knows one another. Its crazy how bud brings so many people together. Bring bud and you will make friends.

still applying, but I narrowed down my list A LOT.

Brown (almost done application)
Vanderbilt (no supplement!)
George Mason (completed application)
Colgate
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
University of Chicago
maybe University of Pennsylvania
Maybe Princeton University
Maybe Harvard (we know one of the admission interviewers)

also, one of the prompts for Uchicago essay is "so where's waldo, anyway?" Anyone have any ideas for what to write about for this prompt?

While this may help a bit, it is FAR from a sure-thing. Harvard admission interviewers are spread all across the country (and world) and tend to be alums. The one I know only ever interviewed one student, gave him a glowing amazing recommendation, that student's application was very strong...and still no admission for the student. Here's a hint for your Harvard app: Be from some country that no one has ever heard of such as Nauru or Turkmenistan.

I applied to Fort Lewis in August and got in. I'm starting up in January. Not a bad track record. Apply to one school and get in. I must admit though, its an easy school to get into

You kids and your out-of-state and private colleges....

Unless your parents are paying your way through, you're essentially loading yourself up with a massive amount of debt for a marginally useful piece of paper.
