hehehe im looking into carnegie mellon and gwu as well and nyu even though that seems impossible. i think you might like santa cruz if you research it but its too far lol :P

ecentrika12 March 21 2005, 20:27:58 UTC

yeah I dont want to go farther than the east coast lol. The farthest is NY in the North prob and Maryland/VA in the south :(

Those schools are so hard! except GWU but my dad doesnt want me to go there cause its far lol

I can't help you, I know nothing about this kind of thing! I'm from the wrong part of the world!

a lot of my friends go to temple u and ive been down there a bajillion times to visit, and i suggest you REALLY go visit if u decide to go there. the school is great but it is smack dab in the middle of the ghetto and you have to be realllly careful if you step off campus. ive seen some not good things happen to people that i know ( ... )

ecentrika12 March 21 2005, 20:52:26 UTC

hmm, yeah my parents just like temple because its close to home- i never really wanted to go there.

plus, pennstate, its way too many people that go there and too many from my school lol. I dont really want to go there either, I just have it as a safe school.

I am not sure at all what I want to major in. I think maybe something in communications and sociology and such. I have no clue though.

You're right, thats what my dad said too. That the undergrad doesnt even make a difference at all. One person I knew when to Temple and then now is going to Harvard! so yeah...

Its just so frustrating! lol, maybe the colleges I'm looking at are too hard. Rutgers seems like one of the best bets right now..cheap too.

Thanks for the comment :)

no problem ( ... )

yeah, my parents could probably afford the colleges, thats a plus about it... theyre paying for my sisters at NYU. I dont want them to have to do it for me too though :-/

youre so right about indian parents lol, thats all my parents want to do. Theyre even getting me a counselor to help me get into a good college haha, cause one of their friends son's got into UPenn cause he had a counselor and my sister didnt have one and she didnt get in lol.

youre smart for doing the whole paying for med school thing, esp if you have to pay yourself. yeah, partying is inevitable and ivy league schools actually smoke more and everything lol.

ill def look into that area thing. right now the top of my list is rutgers, gwu (but my dad doesnt want me to go there), cooper union (but thats too hard) and my mom wants me to go to haverford which is ridiculous lol.

oh by the way what happened to your friend in temple? my friend is thinking about that school so i was wondering.

UPenn seems to meet what you want but u cant just go by statistics you need to make visits thats the only way youll know wether or not you like the college

ecentrika12 March 22 2005, 04:43:39 UTC

yeah but upenn is ridiculously hard! youre right, i need to start visiting lol

I know someone who goes to Rutgers and says that they really like it there. It's near woods though and sometimes random animals like deer just walk through. lol. That might be fun though. I'm looking at George Washington and UPenn too. I can say don't go to Villanova if you want diversity, it's almost 100% white people. My brother goes there. And someone from my mom's work went to Haverford and liked it. My mom's boss told me to go to the Princeton campus b/c it's really pretty, even though it doesn't have my major. (She works at an internet company that deals with colleges all over the world). And I personally love UMass, and their band is amazing. We went there for band two different years. I hope this helps. :o)

ecentrika12 March 22 2005, 04:44:27 UTC

they really like it? thats good haha thats funny about the dear.

go george washington and upenn! yeah i know villanova isnt diverse, thats why i wouldnt want to go there lol.

princeton is probbaly amazing, but the hardest to get into.

and thanks it did help :)

I'm glad it helped! If you need any more, I can get my mom to ask some of her colleagues and bosses about it. :D
