<p>Uhm, I agree with you save for the fact that selectivity wasnt even a question. We were talking about peer assesment and strength as an undergrad institution. If the Trenton Community College gave me a quantum physics essay question, I dont think its name would be stronger.</p>
<p>If the Trenton Community College gave a question about quantum physics that it actually expected students to answer well in order to get in, it would have only one or two students. And those two students would be awesome.</p>
<p>haha...true. I just dont appreciate how BBall is disrespecting people now.</p>
<p>BTW its Devil May CRY like the video game. THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER.</p>
<p>Ahh, sorry. I knew I should have gone back and checked before I posted. :P I'd go back and edit it, but then there would be confusion. Sorry.</p>
<p>I sort of think DMC knew about the self-selectivity thing</p>
<p>But Northwestern also has a quirky application, so its not that unique with chicago</p>
<p>Haha, I loved the Chicago application question, except it said absolutely nothing about myself whatsoever, except that I'm capable of nitpicking a question to a crazy degree.</p>
<p>Actually, NYU had a really quirky question too...I think it was like, what would you do next Sunday or something like that</p>
<p>Anyways, NYU had the most apps out of any college in the Western world, despite the weird question</p>
<p>Unless they take common app too, I'm not sure, I used the normal one</p>
<p>LOL what did u say? I would've said watch Sin City or something. lol </p>
<p>I guess im not NYU material. haha</p>
<p>NYU accepts the common application, but asks for a supplement. It's still easier... and I think that the Sunday question (wasn't it "Last Sunday" though?) was only 200 words long, wasn't it?</p>
<p>Edit: Even so, I think that the reason that NYU gets so many more apps is pretty simple: To the everyday person, especially the everyday high school student, it's much more well-known than the University of Chicago.</p>
<p>since you say you have worked in admissions, you are telling me that a 3.7 with a 170 LSAT from Dartmouth and a 3.7 with a 170 LSAT from Cornell will be treated differently, and the Dart grad will be given a better shot. I find that hard to believe.</p>
<p>Look at the past, bball. Dartmouth has been much more succesful in placing kids into top grad programs than Cornell has. Slipper can give you the figures if you absolutely must persist with this jeremiad.</p>
<p>bball,</p>
<p>The will be viewed exactly the same.</p>
<p>I agree with that. BBall, you are not missing out with Cornell. If you work hard, you'll do fine. just dont underestimate the darties. lol</p>

<p>most apps....ever heard of UCLA?</p>
<p>yeah. NYU had a lot. I don't know how many. how many did UCLA have.</p>
<p>NYU gets the most applications of any private school. UCLA doesnt count, its public</p>
<p>NYU: 33,808 applications for freshman admission in the fall of 2004
UCLA: roughly 44,000 for 2004</p>
<p>that's a big difference</p>
<p>oh ok. i stand corrected. what shrek said</p>
<p>Freshman Applicants for Fall 2005</p>
<p>UCLA: 44,323
