<p>yeah that's what I was thinking too, pk!
sounds good though, whoamg... I'm assuming you're from CA? at least you'll probably have palm trees on campus, right? maybe not I'm not sure, but I know Stanford has palm trees... haha I think that is so cool.
I'm so jealous of all you guys who have definite backups. I still don't really know where I'm going to apply RD, which is very bad.</p>
<p>the STANFORD rep who came in our area said that about 55% of all Stanford students come from CALIFORNIA! is this just extreme bias/favoritism? his excuse/reason was, "california is a big state with a lot of applicants." but it can't be that big or competitive. imagine if P'ton took 55% from NJ, that would be awesome.</p>
<p>hmm... I guess our definitions of awesome are just a tad bit different :)</p>
<p>lol not for me!!</p>
<p>edit: replying to pk's post.... basically saying the same thing as windslicer :)</p>
<p>Yes, I live in CA, and so I'm giving up a lot by applying to Princeton. If they don't want me, fine, go freeze out there you orange and black meanies >:P</p>
<p>Ugh, I'm paranoid about Berkeley though. I really don't want to go to my safety, UCSD. If I got rejected from everywhere else and/or didn't get enough financial aid, I think I'd just go get a job at Google or something. Somehow.</p>
<p>lol going to a state school would be like HIGH SCHOOL all over again!!</p>
<p>like at least 20% of the same people and stuff lol. my heart couldn't take it.</p>
<p>i too live in CA, and im in a similar boat as you whoamg</p>
<p>Hmm... aren't there some other CA schools you can apply to as safeties? Isn't Pepperdine over there? aka the school with the #1 most beautiful campus in my Princeton Review book? haha as you can see I like that book a lot. And what about Pomona? I'm not sure how hard they are to get into but they're easier than Stanford & Princeton I'm sure.</p>
<p>what's wrong w/ ucsd? i did a cs research w/ a professor there and the food / campus / facilities / girls / dorms were just AMAZING and beats UCB any day. (trust me, i have been to berkeley. you go there if you want to meet hobos.)</p>
<p>lol 4 posts in the same minute</p>
<p>^ Yeah, that's totally how I feel.</p>
<p>University of Florida's Honors program is a good deal, especially for the price (free!), but it'd just feel like a let down to go to the same school I could have gotten into with a lot less work.</p>
<p>EDIT: Lol this was a reply to post #26, rofl..</p>
<p>pk- I feel EXACTLY the same way!! I was JUST telling my mom about why I didn't want to go to UVA and my #1 reason was that tons of people from my HS go there. I want a NEW experience!</p>
<p>no wonder princeton thread has the most posts out of all the ivies</p>
<p>lol the bit about the hobos is funny. gqunit, what does cs stand for? (i hope not counter-strike?)</p>
<p>lol 4 posts AGAIN in the same minute- 12:27</p>
<p>lol counterstrike... computer science</p>
<p>I'd think computer science.. lol @ counter-strike (I'm sure some interesting research there)</p>
<p>lol we gotta keep it up so P'ton stays at the top of the no.posts lol</p>
<p>We'll have added like a thousand extra posts to this forum by the time the night's over lol</p>
<p>i agree
i like how i can just keep refreshing this thread lol</p>
