<p>I want to do environmental engineering, but I feel like I wont get in to Stanford, MIT, or Duke. Should I consider any other schools? (I am somewhat new to the whole looking for colleges thing.)</p>
<p>In alphabetical order:</p>
<p>MIT
U Michigan
U Minnesota
U Toronto / U Western Ontario
U Utah</p>
<p>Subject to change.</p>
<ol>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
</ol>
<p>It would take too long to describe why I want to go to these colleges lol :D</p>
<p>You’re all rather ambitious. I’m not aiming for anywhere you’d consider “excellent” but I personally think all these places are pretty great :)</p>
<ol>
<li>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (Carlson School of Management)</li>
<li>Saint Cloud State University</li>
<li>University of Wisconsin-La Crosse</li>
<li>University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh</li>
<li>University of Nebraska-Lincoln</li>
</ol>
<p>Here to show some Caltech love :)</p>
<ol>
<li>Caltech, awesome astrophysics program, access to JPL</li>
<li>MIT, obviously one of the best science and engineering schools in the world</li>
<li>Cornell, another great science school that I might have a chance at</li>
<li>Rice, possibility of full scholarship if accepted</li>
<li>Purdue, same as Rice</li>
</ol>
<p>Not too sure about 4th and 5th picks yet</p>
<ol>
<li>University of Texas</li>
<li>University of Virginia</li>
<li>Clemson University</li>
<li>University of Alabama</li>
<li>Penn State University</li>
</ol>
<p>My requirements are essentially a large university in the south (Penn State being the exception) with a lot of school spirit and a nice campus and college town, and either a reputation for great academics or guaranteed admission to honors program and scholarships. Every school on my list fits these very well, but these are the top choices as of now.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Omg!!! That school is high up on my list as well!!! hahaha but I havent even visited yet…or have any clue what it’s like…cool.</p>
<p>^ They have a pretty impressive hockey team.</p>
<p>1) Berkeley… sadly a fairly large reach =(
2) Reed
3) UCLA
4) BU
5) toss up between McGill and Lehigh</p>
<p>although northwestern and usc would have to be in here somewhere if i knew my chances at them better</p>
<p>It’s good to see that we CCers aren’t being blinded by prestige.</p>
<ol>
<li> Northwestern University!!!</li>
<li> Wash U.</li>
<li> Harvard/Princeton</li>
<li> Univ. of Chicago.</li>
<li> U of I (engineering if U of I)</li>
</ol>
<p>Not that I think I’ll get in, but:
HYPS and Columbia…</p>
<p>Financial Aid is actually my #1 motivation, since the money has always been and will be the most important part of any “application” sort of thing, their policies of financial aid mean that I contribute virtually nothing compared to other schools. Prestige, I’m not going to lie, is a bonus, but if I’m gonna go to Yale for free vs UCLA paid (a typical comparison for a CA student), I’d pick the former (a lot of people would).</p>
<p>And once again, getting in is a whole different matter…</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Cambridge University- I’m not actually going to apply, but I would love it if I did apply and get into their Medicine program… but I’ve realized I’m not ready for Cambridge yet (I figure I’ll do this for Grad School) =P</p></li>
<li><p>Stanford (pshtt, i wish lol)- if i get in then that’s great, but i’m not going to SCEA this one or set my hopes on it</p></li>
<li><p>Brown (much more likely than Stanford in my opinion)- ED, hope i get in! The open curriculum sounds like an amazing opportunity.</p></li>
<li><p>WUSTL- pre-med program. :)</p></li>
<li><p>Duke University- my brother goes there and he’s been hinting for me to follow him. I’m not too sure on this one though; the gothic spires just don’t really do it for me…</p></li>
</ol>
<p>andd if all comes to worse, and i don’t get accepted out- of- state, then it may be UT Honors or Andover/some sort of prep school for me…</p>
<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley/UCLA/UC San Diego - I want to mainly stay in-state…and UC Berkeley was where my cousin went…</li>
<li>Cornell - thought I would have an Ivy to apply to</li>
<li>University of Pacific - good pharmacy program + if all fails + I know two people there…</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m not your average CC overachiever…</p>
<ol>
<li>university of washington (seattle campus)</li>
<li>seattle university</li>
<li>western washington university</li>
<li>x</li>
<li>x</li>
</ol>
<p>will be applying to more colleges of course, and definitely OOS too… just dont know which ones yet…</p>
<ol>
<li>Northwestern University (excellent journalism school)</li>
<li>Syracuse University (I loved seeing the campus)</li>
<li>University of California Berkeley</li>
<li>University of Washington (mind you, the Seattle campus)</li>
<li>University of California Santa Barbara</li>
</ol>
<p>This is nice to know everyone’s.
Most of the “typical CC type” are listing Harvard as one, but I like how it isn’t this way to everyone (just like me, yay).</p>
<p>1)Penn Wharton
2)Columbia
3)Cornell
4)Johns Hopkins
5)dunno. NYU Stern, USC, LSE, Imperial.</p>
<p>Physics Major/Economics Minor (or Major)</p>
<p>1) SUNY Stony Brook
2) University of Illinois- Urbana & Champaign
3) Illinois Institute of Technology
4) University of Leicester
5) University of Chicago</p>
