LSP'd, you know about it? What do you guys think about it?

I'm just psyched I got in

yeah i know about it. i'd be just as happy if i got into that if i did CAS. i've had a perpetual knot in my stomach waiting for my decision to arrive

but i have gotten into:

temple in philly with $4,000 scholarship

university of pittsburgh

[crissyw]

^ cool

i just submitted my agreement, but I'm hoping for more financial aid... tuition for privates is a bitch.

Grats on that scholarship, how'd you get it? Any tips? haha

its a merit schoarship, they usually accept people with like a c+ average and over 1100 on sat's and im pretty above that. probably won't go there but i'll take whatever i can get.

but if you're lookin for schlarships i'd check these sites:

http://www.fastweb.com/

http://www.finaid.org/

http://www.scholarships.com/

and be smart: http://www.ftc.gov

finally, the new sufu is pissing me off so much right now

I hear from Yale on Monday. I'm shitting bricks. My SAT II's are awful and all the other schools I'm applying to look at them. I don't want to stay in Canada but fuck 50k a year tuition.

[jonathanschley]

31 hours till columbia's resultss

i hope more sufu'ers get into columbia. the steez there is fucking bogus. literally people who wear only columbia gear. like fitted in columbia sweatsuits, jackets beanies and a jacket and backpack that is columbia branded. it's fucking ridiculous.

Just got Penn State U Park.

watched these "webisodes" documenting these 4 bitches' first month there.

now I'm definitely NOT going there.

3.5 GPA, 1980 SAT

want: <10,000 students, east coast, not mad fucking far from a city

all i know i'm applying to is skidmore and a bunch of reaches.

any recommendations?

what's "mad fuckin' far"? try syracuse. i mean, its like 3-4 hours away from NYC. boston u and boston college are prolly attainable. Amherst?

3.5 GPA, 1980 SAT

want: <10,000 students, east coast, not more than an hour from a city

all i know i'm applying to is skidmore and a bunch of reaches.

any recommendations?

edit: BC and Amherst are both reaches from what i've looked at, and BU is too big.

syracuse is one of my safeties.

[AL-9000]

american, northeastern, villanova, drexel...

theres so many what kind of school do you want

[amardeep]

one with minimum greek life, decent tuition/good aid(25 grand a year maybe?), not a party/drinking school, and somewhere that has a good name, as superficial as that sounds. don't really know academic wise cuz i'm still undecided, but nothing engineering based.

drexel is underrated. there co-op program is amazing. you'll score excellent opportunities there. pretty easy to get into as well.

anyone hear back from ED yet?

[shimshimhae]

deferred from columbia

[jonathanschley]

deferred from columbia

why would you defer? when are you starting? spring 2010?

[ProfMonnitoff]

i have a friend who deferred from columbia to do a year of social service

he loves it there now

[jonathanschley]

yeah stuff like that is cool. my friend deferred before she went there and lived in paris for a year. i guess i was asking why HE deferred more than why anyone would defer... i took two years off after high school before i applied. it's nice to have a break.

How did you survive? Just work an average job?

I'm having trouble with the possible debt I'll be gaining from my NYU. I'll be a freshman and looking at the financial stats..... man I'm in deep shit for the rest of my life.

Financial aid, anyone? I've applied to scholorships but yet to hear from them. Done freeweb and all that jazz, but since FAFSA doesn't open till Jan 1, is there anything more I can do? How much does FAFSA usually give?

i have a merit based scholarship from columbia that's pays for a little over half of my tuition. the rest is federal stafford loans. and my dad pays for all my living expenses, books, misc. so i'm racking about $5k/semester in loans.

[crissyw]

vry nice

and yeah i was LSPd so I got mine earlier. Everyone else should get letters tomorrow/sat. I know of some people who already got e-mailed rejections though.

I'll check collegeboard for scholarships, thanks!

[madblunted]

I haven't even finished my apps yet.

He didn't defer enrollment, he was deferred. It means that he's competitive but they want to reevaluate him in the regular decision pool.

ahh. i see. i didn't realize he was applying for early decision.

sorry, but i thought ivy leagues don't give you merit based scholarships; they only give financial aid.

the only way you can get merit based scholarship at columbia is if you're a john jay/kluge/etc scholar who gets their loans turned into scholarships isn't it?

as you can tell, i care way too much about columbia

meh. i dunno they told me it was merit based. i doubt if it is need based. i think my parents make too much money for me to get any "free" money.

[AL-9000]

woo i just got into lsp at nyu!!!

[dar]

I am accepted into Oglethorpe University here in Atlanta. It's a quant little private liberal arts college. Too bad I can't afford to go.

[jonathanschley]

Rejected from NYU early today.

I honestly don't know to feel. Coupled with the fact that I can't dorm, my only last 3 choices are Fordham, Pace, and CUNY.

i got rejected from NYU today too... makes no sense. not like i give a shit though.
