<p>And Does Anyone have a CUUS premiere member account want to share? Plz....</p>
<p>ok thnx serenity!! :)</p>
<p>Mandy: I do hope you'll go to Beijing this summer, but Tibet sounds really cool...I'd love to go there myself sometime. Anyway, if you do decide to go to Beijing, don't forget to tell me! :)</p>
<p>Stanford campus...stunning at first sight, hovering in my mind for some time, but then the image bubbled up to be no different than the park across the street from my home in Shanghai. Then East coast captured me...</p>
<p>hey it'll be cool if we all get to meet up in china some time this summer! i'm not sure where i'll be going...hainan maybe. not sure about other places. where are u all going? by the way, i'm at home now, chonqing~~~</p>
<p>To nowhere. I don't have money. In summer I will work to repay the sum of money exhausted during application to the bank.</p>
<p>HAHA awww come on williamzhang, it cant be THAT bad! i know, i spent $500 on applications. i was cheap, applied to a BUNCH of free-online-app-but-still-okay-schools like case western, smith, wellesley, colgate.... and spent a sum of money on all the ives and stuff. in the end, i could've spent $0 and still went to college, since im going to WELLESLEY.. hehe which was free. i didnt even bother sending them additional SAT scores, so save that $7... oh yeah... taking all those SATs ACTs SATIIs cost me lots of money too! like $30 - $70 bucks (late for one of them) each time!</p>
<p>what else... APs cost me a bunch of money</p>
<p>i'd say i spent $2500 for the whole college process this year.
but im not PAYING that much for college, so i guess you win some you lose some? hehe.. </p>
<p>i think im very vain, since im so interested in clothe and makeup, caring a lot about looks. so when im in shanghai, i am hoping to "pretty up" a little... which is why im excited to go to china HAHA... illl probably get my hair trimmed and highlighted, buy tons of clothe, do some nonplasticsurgery stuff like perfect my eyebrows... blah blah... but ill probably get all that done in xi'an. mainly thinking about clothe in shanghai. maybe makeup</p>
<p>haha...it's very,very normal. i totally agree with you xokandykyssesox. i used to study in singapore with this whole bunch of other chinese. and every year when we go back to china, we(the girls) all do something to ourselves, either cut and highlight our hair, trim our eyebrows, get manicures, add more holes to our ears and some other body parts, some even got tattoos and two of my seniors actually did do plastic surgery. well, i don't know if going under the knife and getting your eyes to be double-lidded is considered plastic surgery. clothes, jewelry and makeup is of course, essential. it's not like we don't buy clothes in singapore but you tend to feel nicer to buy it in china. and sometimes it is cheaper, though not always. so you're not vain! well, all girls are vain, ok?</p>
<p>vain would be the first word for self-descrioption</p>
<p>Hi there, how are you guys doing?</p>
<p>Well, basically, i am planning to go De Anza college Fall 2005 and try to transfer to NYU, UC berkerly or U Michigan.</p>
<p>I want to major in Finance and Economic.</p>
<p>Nice to meet you guys!</p>
<p>I think it's easier to transfer to public institutions than private ones since public schools have more flexible space in general.</p>
<p>Hey, De Anza fellow! I take classes there almost every summer :) I like that school a lot!
It's easier for De Anza students to transer to the UCs because UC and CA community colleges have special agreement as a part of CA state education. I think U Michigan will actually be hard because of your non-state resident status. NYU is possible though probably harder than most UCs. This being said, De Anza had students transferring to MIT.</p>
<p>hey guys... im kinda pondering over my options even though its kinda early... but i have nothing to do right now, so my mind thinks too much haha</p>
<p>1) go to wellesley and graduate there 2009 (or 2008 if i want the extra push) then go to some good gradschool like HYS</p>
<p>2) go to wellesley, get a dual degree at MIT (BS, BA), try to do it in 4 years instead of 5 and hopefully not kill myself, then go to some good gradschool like HYS</p>
<p>3) go to wellesley then transfer to MIT, then go to some good gradschool like HYS</p>
<p>haha so im repetitive</p>
<p>i dunno what to do with the rest of my life *sighs</p>
<p>boredom drives a person sorta crazy?</p>
<p>1) go to wellesley and graduate there 2009 (or 2008 if i want the extra push) then go to some good gradschool like HYS</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>do not do college in three years
you would have to pick your major by the end of freshmanyear if you do so</p>
<p>And</p>
<p>the best thing about LACs are the classes outside the major</p>
<p>While I was at Wellesley(can't go there, gender misforune), they told me that Wellesley is more advantagious to study science and engineering than MIT for women. Given that much less famle presence in science and engineering world, anyone at wellesley interested in science and engineering will have gain a lot of attention and care from the faculty who will be much more accessible for students than MIT. They also said MIT's general science and engineering classes are becoming those stereotypical state school class, where you have 200 kids in a classroom taught by t.a. and rarely receive help from professor.</p>
<p>what major are you all planning to take? i'm so confused about it. i really like communication but my parents are strongly against it. they want me to do medicine, like every other chinese parent. geez. well i said i'll compromise and take psychology.but i really don't know if it's suitable for me.ugh....</p>
<p>I am an economics and east asian studies major. I really don't get a lot of pressure from my parents.. which is good.. I know! Maybe it's because I'm hoping to go into banking and my parents are strongly supportive of that (they really want me to make a lot of money). Vanillaice what are you planning to do with a major in communication? I think the primary concern of most Chinese parents is wealth after graduation, so if you can convince them that you'll make a lot of money anyways... I don't think they'll necessarily force you to go into the medical field.</p>
<p>Wellesley seems like such a cute school. I can't believe the application is free! I so regret not applying... :(</p>
<p>if one finishes strong with a med school degree and intern usually starts the actual career in early or mid 30's, he/she can get an iron bowl(铁饭碗） for life over $200,000 annually, more secure than a regular lawyer or investment banker. Especially a dentist with his/her own clinic, or a physician that performs sophisticated heart, brain, and other organ surgery, and of course plastic surgeon dr.90210
fayetti, i'm doing bz majors, may be we will be making m. or even b. deals in the near future.......</p>
<p>Well... for me, my parents are running their own companies in China and Europe. I am planning go Finance and Econoimic as i want to work with them.
I think NYU will be my first choice!</p>
<p>Anyway, anyone will study Fall 2005 in De Anza?</p>
<p>I just want to me some friends there =)</p>
