So, i know it's really early to be talking about next school year, but i just found out i'm going here, and realized so are a ton of other people. If you're going to the Univeristy of Utah as a freshman this fall, say "YEAH!" or "JEA" for you park rats. Where are you guys gonna be skiing at? And if you want a room mate and are staying in the dorms say so.. i wanna a cool room mate who shreds gnar.

When I was at Alta I met this student there that scheduled his classes from like 5-9 PM and skied at Alta every single day. Do that. I also met some girl who's going there, but no idea what her name is or anything. You're welcome for the "help"...

idelphia on NS goes there, he is a freshman this year. You're only gonna be 20-30 minutes away from Snowbird/Alta, so thats probably what you'll hit up.

I think it's a little further than 20-30 minutes. it seems like the drive up the canyon is about 10 or so. And i'll prolly ride Alta/Bird, and then maybe get a Brighton pass, so i can ski park at night.

4.33.... honors and AP classes, so GPA is out of 5 on a 4 scale. It's like 3.86 or something unweighted.

It's either there or Montana State... I am going for graphic design and skiing, so I am def. not wasting my time.

Plus I got a scholarship that pays for my tuition. I get high marks mostly because I like to learn stuff, and I want to learn a lot, have a broad knowledge of whatever I can, and get money in college.

Go to utah, I think youll like it, I kno a lot of people who wont send their kids their or wouldnt go there, only because they live in utah, It is kind of a commuter school, the only reason id go there is because my parents are mobin to utah, i would say montana stae if you like BC stuff, but utah is sick too, both are decent schools. Montana States parties are pretty good i hear, and SLC is an alright college town, I dunno man, its your choice, But i think you should go with your gut feelin, ya kno man, whichever school you can truly see yourself at.

I think I am pretty much at about 80% for Utah. The problem is that I can truly see myself at both places, and they are so evenly matched, it's not even funny.

Montana=better parties, more hippies, better bars, more wilderness

UofU= More mormons, less parites, better skiing, better snow,

you forgot montana=more cowboys, less of a town, picklebarrel, prarrie dog hunting

but i think im going to colorado state. or maybe western wash, it between those two. i decided against bozemen because it is not that great academically and it's no that great of a town.

You got into utah with those grades? because ive been lookin at schools (imonly a hs sophomore) and i got that a 22 on the ACT in 7th grade. i just dont get all that great of actualy grades. I think i could get it up above a 2.9 tho, and on another practice ACT i got a 26. I didn't realize that you could get in with a 2.9 if you're being serious...
