<p>A bad egg trying to correct himself.</p>
<p>That was good.........I had something else in mind but that was good.</p>
<p>Not a day too soon.......Davis resigns today.</p>
<p>Yeah, but isn't he coaching out the rest of the season?</p>
<p>When you lose 6 of 7, are 0-5 on the road in the Big 10, and have the talent you do on your team, you need to be fired. Indiana's tourney hopes are very close to gone.</p>
<p>think Ron Hunter...........IU Bloomington should just close down their basketball program, which they really did 6 years ago when The General departed.......consolidate it all to Indianapolis and let Hunter merge the Hurryin Hoosier with the Jaquars.....hehehe. Saves face, saves money keeps a black coach.</p>
<p>I'm glad to see Indiana University try to up the average scores/SATs.</p>
<p>They recruited my son from out of state--he's 3.46 weighted GPA with a math SAT of 700, and is seriously considering their business program (in fact he will fly in and visit their school--and Purdue's--early next month). They deserve better students at their business school--which is ranked 11th among undergraduate programs nationwide by USNW. (Purdue also deserves better students, since it ranks 12th in business nationwide and 7th in engineering nationwide).</p>
<p>Calcruzer, what do you mean by recruited? Is Indiana paying for the trip?</p>
<p>I'm pleasantly surprised that a 3.4 gpa weighted is good enough to get into Indiana's business school as a freshman.</p>
<p>Let us know how he liked the trip.</p>
<p>If Indiana's paying for the trip, i'm calling them up about it! LOL, I don't know if I can afford a visit. Although I suppose I could drive the 6.5 hours.</p>
<p>Wolves...Are you waiting for a decision from Michigan before you start visiting your other schools? It only took us 5 to 5-1/2 hours to drive from Oakland County...closer for you from A2. Stay overnight with a current student and you're only talking the price of gas. Did you receive the info. about IU's Freshman Forums for admitted students? Come on...you're a direct admit to Kelley...get down there and see the place...LOL !! </p>
<p>"Admitted students gain the most from attending one of our daylong Freshman Forums, which take place in the spring. Freshman Forums provide students and their families with specific information pertinent to admitted students as they make final decisions about college and IU.</p>
<p>Our Freshman Forums for 2006 will take place from February 27 through April 28 (with the exception of Spring Break, March 11-19). The programs take place Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.</p>
<p>To make arrangements to attend a Freshman Forum, please phone our scheduling department at (812) 855-3512, beginning December 1."</p>
<p>freshman forums are gud but if you want to get the REAL deal, the REAL and RAW experience about IU you gota sign up for the HOST overnight program seriously! i signed up and i was able to sleep in a dorm and even go into classes! if you actually stay there overnight and hang out with an actual IU student, you will know 100% what it is really like to be attending IU plus you will be able to get more unbiased and real responses from the host and all his/her friends. freshman forums are good but the bottom line is, its a presentation so obviously anything they will say is gud or neutral but getting it from an actual IU student you will know the truth :) btw i am not advertising for the HOST program nor am i affiliated with them in any way other than the fact i was a participant and i learned ALOT from it.</p>
<p>The forums would be good so the parents also could hear the pitch, tour the place and all that. Since the program ends at 3:00 pm, perhaps schedule a HOST overnight visit for that evening...get it all in at once that way? Plenty of cheap hotels in and around Bloomington for the folks.</p>
<p>tats true too, attending a freshman forum and doing the host program would probaly be the perfect fit, helps the parent and the student :)</p>
<p>calcruzer your son got RECRUITED HOLY CRAP! man i wish they did tat too me! its my first choice! ( im also a direct admit business student) when i visited, i had to pay for everything ( flight, shuttle, extra cash) :(</p>

Calcruzer, what do you mean by recruited?

</p>
<p>Also curious about this...are you referring to athletics or something else?</p>
<p>I told Michigan that i'd attend if I was admitted, and since I don't have a lot of money, my parents are making me wait on a Michigan decision to book tickets. They'd rather fly and stay a night than drive, because it's 6 hours each way, and that's too much on the road, lol. They know about the visit options, the freshman forum, so i'd probably visit late April if I don't get into Michigan. </p>
<p>I'm pushing for them to let me visit Miami, but they're entirely against the idea of me going to Coral Gables, as well as the price tag. They want me to go to a CC and transfer. I'm trying to compromise - take classes at a CC over summer and then go to school. I'm just not sure what i'm doing, because I have parents who aren't too educated about the process, and don't see the benefits about going to a 4 year school compared to a CC and transfer.</p>
<p>well im not sure about your area but we've got the world famous el camino community college ( u guys probaly heard of this school LOL D.L. Hugley talked about it on his comedy central show and its supposedly one of the top 10 community colleges) where if kids do gud there like a 3.8+ gpa or better they let you transfer to UCLA or the other uc's but obviously here in southern california its usc or ucla or berkeley heh i mean although cc is looked down upon, if you got no other option cc is not bad, all you have to do is get gud gpa and transfer out :) besides you do save alot of money. in the long run its the person that achieves success not his background ( you know what i mean...) so cc doesnt mean you lose your oppurtunity to a gud graduate school or anything its just a temporary setback :) be optimistc man cuz if ur depressed and gloomy, you're more prone to giving up altogether!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>just to prove to you that cc/junior colleges do have COLLEGE level courses contrary to the stereotpe that it doesnt, my brother when he took econ. at el co. ( el camino) said it was hard and the professor tat taught econ. graduated from stanford ( my bro. said the guy tended to brag a bit heh i gues who wouldnt.) and my bro. goes to amherst so u c junior college is NOT a joke!!!! i dont kno man some people make fun of cc's saying o man if i dont get into uc's im screwed i dont want to go to el co. dude they shud shutup cuz some people only have el co as an option.</p>
<p>ok i strayed off sory but the point is there is ALWAYS options so as they say "keep on truckin" besides man miami!? sooo expensive i already told them im not going heck no i dont tink so to me it aint worth it and if i tink about it i dont even know why i applied to miami i was supposed to apply to nyu!!! something changed my mind, sigh sadly my intuition was wrong...</p>
<p>So Wolves, if you do get into Michigan, will your parents want you to live at home? As far as CC, are they thinking Washtenaw so you can live at home and then transfer? If UM-Ann Arbor doesn't come through, have you considered UM-Dearborn as a back-up? Easy commute from A2, and I'd have to think a satellite campus would be one of the best transfer options into Ann Arbor, no transfer credit hassles, etc.</p>
