<p>@iluvbooks94: Not only is that list unrealistic, but you have very few safeties, and the schools you’re applying to don’t seem to have a common thread. It feels as if you’re just running down the top 25 list and choosing schools. </p>
<p>Also, it seems like I have a lot of fellow GaTech’ers with me. Hopefully we all get in! :)</p>

<p>Gee, thanks for your concern and all-knowing CC wisdom. It is always fun to have my school choices berated by strangers on the Internet who know nothing about me. I’ll apply to the colleges I wish to apply to.</p>
<p>@iluvbooks94</p>
<p>First and foremost, I wasn’t “berating” your school choices. If you read my comment with even a slight ear for tone, you’ll see that I was entirely objective. “Berating” seems a rather strong word for logical observation.</p>
<p>Secondly, I wasn’t aware I had to know “something about you” in order to offer objective critique. If that was true, then half of this site would be invalid. Yes, you have to choose the schools on your own subjective criteria, but objective criteria are where the search starts, and objective criticism is where the first schools get cut. Then you get into the minutiae, like size, political-leaning etc. First comes objective criteria and objective criticism. And that is what I offered. I don’t need to know much about you to give you that.</p>
<p>Also, I will never claim to have all-knowing wisdom. LOL, I’m far from all-knowing. By definition, nothing can be omniscient: knowledge is infinite. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe knowledge can be finite…but that’s not the subject of this discussion.</p>
<p>And apply where you like. No one’s stopping you (except money; she’s a cruel mistress). It’s your choice, in the end. I just tried to offer my .02.</p>
<p>(Nothing can be omniscient because everything can be known in an infinite number of different ways. There are an infinite number of possible ways “it is like” to know any given fact.)</p>
<p>@logicx24</p>
<p>I know very well that CC is a place to get objective critique, however, this thread is supposed to be a place to post and compare college lists. Hence my frustration; I’m not looking for advice on this particular thread, friendly or not. I have my reasons for choosing the schools I’m applying to, is what I’m trying to say. (Money is a cruel thing, which is why I’m applying to schools with need-blind admissions.)</p>
<p>Have a nice night.</p>
<p>Guys, let’s leave the arguments out of this thread. There are some people with unrealistic college choices, but it’s their choice. Let them post it without judgment from others.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>logic, I was accepted at MSU because it has rolling admissions and I applied there in late August. I applied to all my 3 schools late August/early September actually. And don’t worry about being rejected everywhere. I’m sure you will get into at least one college (probably more) but you should also plan for the worst as well. But don’t fret on it.</p>
<p>I’m annoyed that I didn’t get flak for my post. >.<</p>
<p>^Lmao you’ve been ignored!!</p>
<p>But for me, I think im applying to a good variety of schools:</p>
<p>Boston University
Clark University
Columbia
Cornell
George Washington University
Hartwick
Harvard
John Hopkins
NYU
Pace
Philadelphia University
Sarah Lawrence
Stonybrook
SUNY Albany
Uchicago
UPenn
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia
WashU
Yale</p>
<p>Im applying to all RD or by the end of december since some of them are rolling.</p>
<p>Aight Philovitist. I’ll bite. </p>
<p>If the same thing is known in 4 different ways, wouldn’t each of those ways qualify as the same knowledge? Even if each thing can be known an infinite number of ways, each of those ways can be summed to a total of 1, because they all have the same meaning, so they are indistinguishable. </p>
<p>But then again, how are there different ways to know something. 2 + 2 = 4. What is a different way to know that? And that’s a numerical observation. Lets take numbers out of the question. Assume the following statement is true: the rabbit is green. What is another “way” to know that? </p>
<p>But if you want to get technical, if the multiverse is infinite, then technically, there is an infinite amount of knowledge, so the omniscience is impossible.</p>
<p>And on that note, is time infinite? hmmm… And if it isn’t, what existed before time?</p>
<p>Applied to:
-Georgia Tech (EA)
-University of Maryland (Priority)</p>
<p>Applying to:
-Purdue(Nov 15th)
-Carnegie Mellon RD
-Cooper Union RD
-University Rochester RD
-University of Illinois Urbana RD
-RPI RD
-Olin College
-?MIT? RD</p>
<p>Two down and I feel really good. Hoping for a lot of Financial AId</p>
<p>Philovitist, I did refer to you when I said “some people with unrealistic college choices.” I wish you good luck regardless of your conviction that you’ve a definite acceptance at Duke.</p>
<p>And please logic and Philovitist, let’s keep this thread for congratulations on acceptances and to show others our college lists, as well as our opinions on our own college lists, questions, and problems that are faced Please keep your guys’ arguments and pseudo-intellectual musings out of here. Thank you! :)</p>
<p>If you close a seed inside a box, will it ever grow?</p>
<p>Y’all are all so smart! My list is not particularly impressive:</p>
<p>-Amherst College
-Hampshire College
-Loyola University New Orleans
-Clemson University
-UC Davis
-Otterbein University</p>
<p>But that’s because the area I want to study is pretty specific.</p>
<p>Clemson is great - one of the happiest schools in the nation.</p>
<p>Baby, those are some great colleges. Don’t look down on yourself. We are all unique and should be held to our own unique standards. Do what’s best for you.</p>
<p>Philovitist, I ask that you start a new thread for yourself if you would like to engage in philosophical discussion.</p>
<p>^Why do you think you will definitely get in to Duke? It has a 10% acceptance rate like the ivies. It’s like the Harvard of the south.</p>
<p>lol I was joking when I said that.</p>
<p>Lol, okay. I was so confused. I figured maybe you had alumni or family working in the admissions committee or something like that.</p>
<p>@Philovitist we need a nickname for you. Philo? Phil? Lo? Lov? Tis? Tist? Ilo? Ovi? Ov?</p>
