Well then that doesn't bode well for your college studies if you can't even do a bit of research :eek:

Umm... you're asking about HS's though?

There's A VERY LARGE NUMBER of high schools in the USA.

Honestly though, unless you're going to like, the #1 private crazy money a year hs (no idea what it is or if it exists), you are just going to have to set yourself apart the normal way, any decent HS + good extra curricular, test scores, essays, blah blah should have you good to go.

ps, don't go to USC.

so wats wrong with USC?

[so-so]

Easier question would be what's not.

Nah, I just hate the idea that it's a bunch of fenced in rich white kids.

[apu]

i see, i get ur point on that

USC was one of the schools i applied to ealier this year for my Masters program, i am glad i had other offers in hand so wont have to resort to it

Go to community college, Dont fuck around, join many clubs, be active, do charity work, get good grades, your chances of transferring to a good university will be high

[so-so]

To elaborate (not sure if you're from the US), USC is in a really shady area (lots of crime etc) but the campus is fenced in, I have a friend who goes there, and while she likes the school, she hates that you really cant leave campus alone and feel safe (rich white girl).

i do not know whats so wrong with going to a jc first then transfer to a uc system, comng from asain parents they think that going to a jc is a failure, uhhh no? um basically the first two years of college is general ed, so why pay the extra thousands of dollars for general ed?

only one explanation:

BOOYAH

[mis]

Cause if you go to JC you lose 2 years. after O levels, 2 years jc + 4 yeas university = degree

If you go to community college, 2 years com college + 2 years university = degree

Unless we are talking about different kinds of JC.
