anyone heard of Deep Springs College?

<p>If so, do you guys have heard of any internationals who previously applied to /accepted to Deep Springs College?</p>

<p>1) Yes
2) Of course they accept internationals</p>

<p>By the way, if you were thinking of appying this year, you're too late</p>

<p>no actually i already accepted to the first round and just wondering how many other intel's applicants are there.</p>

<p>omg deep springs is like.....the hardest to get into. and one of the few colleges that really toughen you up like a real man.</p>

<p>i didn't have the guts to apply/ :o</p>

<p>isn't tht the college which takes in like 12 or sth freshmen each year?</p>

<p>I've heard of it. A senior here last year (an American who's from New Mexico) applied. Got through the first round, went there for a week to stay and interview.</p>

<p>Congratulations on making the first cut, ulimssol!</p>

<p>HAH they're crazy ppl there! Its an amazing college...but its painfully hard to get in. And no girls...and an average of 4 people per class or something</p>

<p>I've looked at it closely before. The idea of working/studying in the middle of nowhere is quite alluring. No distractions, just you and your mates. I thought of it but I looked at the specific courses they had and realised in no way am I able to get a genuinely tough course in my area. It's not for everyone but if you do like it- you'll have lots of fun.</p>

<p>oh- and if you're rank obsessed- it was ranked 2nd or 3rd in a guide into colleges behind Yale and Princeton I believe some time ago ... so you have an idea how good its academics are :)</p>

<p>i know two ppl there right now. i feel that as long as you can state your thinkings clearly in the interview, you have a very decent chance esp cause the second round weeding is less intense and some applicants drop out due to admission offers from other schools. there was one chinese applicant who got in last year. meanwhile, good luck :)</p>

<p>bowtoserenity, did that chinese applicant enrolled there ? actually i felt i got an edge in first round JUST because i was an international, but hope it's not though :( anyway I'll do my best in second round. Is there any more intel's who accepted to first round? let's know each other!</p>

<p>out of deep springs and you can almost waltz into an ivy, ceteris paribus.</p>

<p>"Ceteris paribus" means...?</p>

<p>all other things being equal</p>

<p>Merci, Kjoodles!! :)</p>

<p>damn, i wish i was a boy. Deep Springs sounds weird and intense as heck and thus its allure. I suppose making it co-ed would sort of ruin it. I wonder if anyone thought of making a Deep Springs for girls-only?</p>
