ayy. i also got accepted to psu as well. do you live in pa or applied from out of state?
Prolly rutgers cuz its really close to me
I got eyes on nyu but ion know
ay sounds good. in case we both end up going to rutgers i would be down to exchange social medias or smth
wait isnt ohio state really bad?
rutgers is pretty good
penn state prolly better though
i don't know much about the rest of the school, but ohio state's chemistry program is top 20 in the country tied with hopkins. and im going as a chem major so its an option for me. im from pa so i've been surrounded by Pennstate my entire life and i do not want to go there. also the campus and location isnt really my style.
i understand, the penn state culture is everywhere. spent some years in the Trenton/Princeton area and I'd see almost as much Penn State heads as I would Rutgers or Rider or TCNJ heads
I yearn to attend UBC so I applied there and nowhere else, will probably major in conservation <3
Well, here's my line of thought for picking the university I wish to attend:
- Must speak english, I don't want to go to NZ (4/5 EN countries remaining)
- Must be competitive
- I don't want to be stressed in HS, UK admission process and lack of holistic evaluation makes me not want to go (3/5 EN countries remaining)
- I want to study a natural science/environment related program (ex. Earth sciences, environmental science, ecology, etc)
- UBC is good, let's aim for UBC.
- What about the US? It seems a bit dangerous for me to study there and having visited, I personally feel like the cities are generally unpleasant compared to other places around the world.
- Canada and Australia left, both have great environment to study in and great environments to study. However, Australia's application window is late in the year, and their IB requirements are pretty low so they do good for safety.
- UBC Canada it is :D
i want to go abroad to uwaterloo in canada or UND or Embry riddle in the US
It feels my heart with warmth seeing americans go into debt because they have no free education
look at all my cute kohai applying for colleges...good luck guys its the most stressful time of year
already graduated but im stayin in my city to go into the trades
collegiate rugby is on the cards tho
if the usa wasnt in political heat and canada wasnt involved texas woulda been the move
Try to apply for ivy league, you can fine so much good university in east coast.
graduated with honors. got accepted into Georgetown, LSU, University of Alabama, University of Mississippi, Northwestern State University, and Tulane University(i live in the south, applied to every school i researched and got accepted). I ended up applying late to go Nicholls State University(like 20 mins from my home town) but still got accepted bc i was scared of being away from my family then transferred to Lsu. Then I quit and said fuck 4yr colleges now im doing a trade school bc im so exhausted of learning bs i will never need to know and now im planning to leave the USA in like 5-7 yrs.
not relevant to the thread but can someone give me a tier list of the universities in the US? I want to know roughly how good most of these universities are.
they all have their own academic perks n features
its football where ppl become vv biased to their unis
ummm these are the best tier assumptions from my knowledge and schools i know.
Tier 1: Harvard, MIT, Stanford, CalTech, etc (the ivies + t20 schools)
Tier 2: UMich, Emory, Carnegie Mellon, USC, case western (either big schools that have good academic or small research institutes that have good academics)
Tier 3: Penn State, Rutgers, Ohio State, etc. Mainly state schools
Tier 4: Temple, Drexel, etc (for most people safety schools)
Tier 5: Any school with an acceptnace of 80%+. usually these schools are pretty small.
edit: i dont think that schools should based off of tiers or anything as each school has their unique strengths and weaknesses. some schools may have better programs while others may not. some schools may have better research opportunities while others may not. it all depends on what YOU want to do and thats all that matters. for example, Ohio state I ranked as a tier 3, but their chemistry program's rank is tied with Johnshopkins which is a T1 school.
