I was thinking about boston, but i wanted to stay as close as possible to nyc. The farthest one i applied to is Monmouth.

[jasonc]

Did you apply to NYU?

[jasonc]

or BU, or harvard?

[jasonc]

or BC, lol.

[BellasBmw]

Trust me, i would have loved to go to harvard or NYU, but, .... i think it would have been a waste of money (application fee).. lol.

Trust me, i highly doubt i would have been accepted into NYU.. I should have applied for the hell of it, but i just couldnt comprehend spending $60 for something i was pretty sure of.

Hey, I got into a great, very selective college with a whopping 1.7 overall HS gpa.

[Squawks]

I suppose - my application isn't outstanding either. The main thing I did not want was regretting not giving certain schools a try (like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.).

And $60? That's pocket change compared to my $100/school. I applied to 17 overall!

[jasonc]

60$ is a deal on an application fee.

Ha no way!

I have around a 2.8 right now. And it happened cause i didnt fully withdraw from 2 Community college classes. So instead of a W, they give u a F. But i had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled so i missed too much class, so i stopped going (it was after the withdrawl date). Now im making those 2 classes up right now along with stats, and art history.

[jasonc]

Ya way. 1.7 gpa, and I didnt have any good excuses either...

Well some were $55, some were $75, so i was taking the mean. But, NYU and Harvard would have probably been much much more.

bella I am a firm believer that you should never selll yourself short.

[Squawks]

Don't worry about the GPA. Mines was only 3.0!

Couldn't have been said any better.

If you shoot really high but fail to meet your expectations, you still would have surpassed what you would have had you lacked high hopes.

Well, i was thinking for my BA, im not too stressed about where i go. I just want to get it done. If i go for my masters, then yes, i will care about the name and popularity of the school. Thus, spend the money for grad school rather than undergrad.

Go for the PhD, Dr. Antonella.

Hhaha MAYBE... I def want kids.. Not spend 10yrs in school.

[Squawks]

A lot of PhD grad students are already married and a handful already have children!

Schools take *really* good care of you if you are married and/or have children, too - super cheap graduate housing, daycare, blah blah blah.

Interesting.. I need to hook up with the right ppl to show me the ropes. Im a novice at this whole thing, my parents dont know much about it either.. Im sort of left to figure it out myself.
