<p>"Into" is the correct usage.</p>
<p>Actually, Maxy, that's a really good question. I'm not entirely sure. (So much for that 710 verbal.) </p>
<p><a href="http://www.grammartips.homestead.com/into.html">http://www.grammartips.homestead.com/into.html</a> offers a really clear explanation of the general rules of thumb when applying "into" and "in to". In the case of getting in to college, I think it might actually even be ambiguous. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I bet you could say "be admitted/accepted to" or "gain admittance/acceptance to". </p>
<p>If you want some very straightforward reference books for writing, I would recommend Strunk and White's Elements of Style. It is priceless. On the internet, Bartleby.com offers a number of reference texts for free. Anyway, I hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thank you guys!</p>
<p>Into college - "college" is the direct object, "into" is a preposition.
In to college - "college" is an indirect object, "to" is a preposition, and "in" is adverbial.</p>
<p>When describing the action of entering college, "into" is the correct choice.</p>
<p>LMAO grammar freaks....</p>
<p>What did grammar ever do to you?</p>
<p>One time on the PSAT grammar came and bit me in the as*......hahah</p>
<p>Aurelius, because you seem to know grammar very well, please help me out with another dilemma:</p>
<p>Plural of Acronyms: which form is correct? SATs or SAT's? APs or AP's?</p>
<p>How is Warwick for eco and math honours?</p>
<p>Warwick in the UK? I believe it is one of the top 5 Economics department and top 10 Mathematics departments in all of the UK.</p>
<p>How does Warwick measure up to US schools? Does it suffer from low funding?</p>
<p>Is warwick a good school? I have never heard of it......someone answer.</p>
<p>Warwick (pronounced War-ick) is an excellent university. I'd say it is comparable to the University of Maryland or the University of Minnesota. </p>
<p>Sebma, all British universities save Oxford and Cambridge suffer from low funding. Can you believe that the third wealthiest university in the UK, Edinburgh, has an endowment of $200,000,000 (under $20,000 per student).</p>
<p>That's a huge drop from Oxbridge. Doesn't oxford have over $4 billion USD, and Cambridge something like $2-3 billion. Going from that to 200M is pretty drastic.</p>
<p>Get into college.</p>
<p>Ok, so we straightened it out with getting into college (thank you Aurelius,pip-pip and ElWilson). What about my other question regarding plurals of acronyms? SATs or SAT's? APs or AP's?</p>
<p>SATs and APs.</p>
<p>ElWilson's house (a ' is present because it is my house)</p>
<p>Actually both are acceptable - SATs, SAT's, APs, AP's all are correct. Because "SAT" and "AP" are acronyms, it is acceptable to use the apostrophe plural ['s]. Similarily, the ['s] plural can also be used on letters. (e.g. "He got 3 A's this semester" is the same as "He got 3 As this semester.")</p>
<p>However, the use without the apostrophe seems to be more popular nowadays, but the usage with the apostraophe is still considered acceptable.</p>
<p>Of course, for a non-acronym word, ['s] cannot be used for the plural.</p>
<p>Great!Thanks!...on the same note... is it Dickens's novel or Dickens' novel? I was taught that if a word ends in "s" and you want to use the possessive, you should leave only an apostrophe, without an "s", but what about nouns that are not plurals but end in "s"? (I promise that this is the last thread hijacking I'll do).</p>
<p>Alexandre, can you give more specifics as to why Denison is on your list of LAC economics departments? I am trying to cast as wide a net as possible as potential choices for my son. We are looking more at LACs than anything else at this point. He knows he is good in Math (800 SAT). He has good analytical skills when it comes numbers. He might go into finance. He could also go to law school or study poly science. We all feel that economics ia good place to start and then see what develops. As an aside, he is heavy into fantasy sports leagues and has talked to several finance people who also do these. I believe he has the analytical capabilities to then make a decision as this seems similar to what happens in finance. </p>
<p>Sorry to digress.</p>
