<p>I strongly suggest against applying ED1 to two colleges</p>
<p>if u r caught... u'll be totally screwed... nowhere to attend</p>
<p>and it's not worth the risk. colleges might share their lists.. and what will you do if you are accepted into both? not accepting one's offer will put you into the blacklist anyway.</p>
<p>moreover, Reed and MHC are like top colleges, don't take the risk</p>
<p>sweta... reed looks like an awesome college from the rankings but u should know that it's a very very nerdy place.... all ppl do there is study and smoke... no social life at all... 100% smoking....and that sort of stuff....MHC is a really good choice...i know someone who got into MHC with a SAT of 1280 (out of 1600).... and abt SAT for Reed... one of my friends got in with a SAT of 1300...again I dont know ur stats.... maybe u have other better options..</p>
<p>stxc...i don't exactly know what it means...lol...anywayz..u referring to...don't worrie be happie...well...just felt like telling it then...no big deal...i m from ktm...nepal...</p>
<p>if you are the nerd type... and can go on reading and reading... and the relentless academics doesnt' daunt you, go for Reed</p>
<p>MHC will be more fun IMO. also there'll be many nepalis applying ED to MHC, so your chances are greatly reduced in the regular round if some of these ppl are accepted.</p>
<p>ahtsisab...okie..it's my mistake...i should have been clear the very first time..i am not looking for liberal arts college...cuase by verbal is screwed...but ihave a decent maths score....and i believe i m good in math..so thinking abt doing majors in math....and ivy league...it's way out of my league...so looking for a four year university....i found lehigh with all the programs that actually appeal to me...u got any more suggestion...thanks.....</p>

<p>applying to two colleges in ED1..hey..take it easy...putting ur career on the line is rather...umm...uncalled for...reeds..well...it's a gr8 college...i mean in terms of acadmeis...but has not social life...what do they do for fun...well they bring out a topic...and start debating...now how much fun is that sweta?</p>
<p>yeah....agree with aaron on applying to 2 colls for ED I.... dean of admissions from all top colleges gather on some day and share their accepted students list.. thats for sure.... you're screwed if u get into both... and its not worth the risk really.... and abt dream skls....may look big to u right now.... tara looking at prospectus and websites doesnt give u a good idea of the skl.... my dream skl was duke.... in colgate right now... now i cant imagine being at any other place than colgate... it's awesome here.... maybe duke wud have been better... but u will love the place where u go.... until it is an extremely f***ed up place</p>
<p>read it..............................THE PERFECT HUSBAND</p>
<p>There are several men sitting around in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone on one of the benches rings. One of the men picks it up, and the following conversation ensues:</p>
<p>"Hello?"
"Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
"Yes."
"Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It's absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?"
"What's the price?"
"Only $1,500.00."
"Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much ... "</p>
<p>"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2001 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he gave me a really good price ... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year ... "
"What price did he quote you?"
"Only $60,000 ... "
"OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."</p>
<p>"Great! But before we hang up, something else ... "
"What?"
"It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we had looked at last year. It's on sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English Garden, acre of park area, beachfront property ... "
"How much are they asking?"
"Only $450,000 - a magnificent price ... and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover ... "</p>
<p>"Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $420,000. OK?"
"OK, sweetie ... Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
"Bye ... I do too ... " </p>
<p>The man hangs up, closes the phone's flap, and raises his hand while holding the phone and asks to all those present: "Does anyone know who this phone belongs to?</p>
<p>ENJOYED?</p>
<p>lol...sweta...good one...anywayz....ahtsisab...mindsharing ur SAT score...TOEFL..u r in colgate..that's like wow already...i once considered colgate for ED but since by verbal gave up..i changed it to lehigh...</p>
<p>lol............:)</p>
<p>i dunno wut actually at reed caught my fantasy but the moment i saw it's prospectus I's like I wanna be there...
i know, "everyione smokes at REED", tanna gaja pani tanchha, even then i like it... it's like sth u like for no gud reason, or not even a even a reason
i'll try my luck with mhc or other options?</p>
<p>for starters sweta, u SUDNT apply to two colleges ED. its not worth taking the risk. u can always apply ED II and regular. plus, this forum is regulated and it is said that some college adcoms visit the site so it is not the right thing to say too. if u want to go to reed, just apply!!! u ll never know until u try. besides, whoever told u that reed needs great SATS doesnt know much coz it's not really true. reed isnt like the SAT school and I know people with great apps who got into reed and not just for their SATs. basically, SAT is not the single determining factor in college apps, and reed is no different. ED is supposed to be your first choice. i know there are constraints for ppl like u and i but i think u sud go for reed if its only the SATs that concern u. besides, u havent even appeared for it yet! you might just as well get a 1550, or more. (oh sorry i dont know what the full mark for the new SAT is, but u know what i mean..)
good luck. dont freak out and apply ED sincerely.</p>
<p>no probs collegewoes.... let me tell u sth first... u're screwed in verbal doesnt mean u're not for LACs... and u're good at maths doesnt mean u're for engineering... i thought the same too.... but here I am pursuing a B.A degree.... u can always do a maths major.... or a physics major and get into engineering in grad skl....its always good to think abt majors before hand.... but its never never (yeah i put that twice) late to change ur mind.....but its ur choice anyways.... for engineering.. lehigh is ok.... but i wudnt say its awesome....have u looked in tufts and brandeis?</p>
<p>man, this thread is rolling..
hey colgate ko hero, kenyon rocks!!!!
come here folks, its so much more fun than colgate....
muhahaha</p>
<p>hahaha....yeah Reed is like "F U collegeboard and US News".... Reed's ranking in USNews is low because they refused to fill the US News survey....how cool is that !!</p>
<p>if u want to be in the middle of nowhere.... Kenyon is definitely the place to be in...</p>
<p>abt my SAT I: V690 M800 TOEFL: 280</p>
<p>ahtsisab..it seems ur readingmy mind...i was just abt to bring the topic of tufts into question...brandeis has no engineering...i think....tufts...well..it's got awesome engineering and mathematics major chances....but heard it doesn't offer adequate aid to international students either...am i right?....</p>
<p>tufts offers aid to internationals....who told u that they dont.... someone i know is there with almost full aid....</p>
<p>okie... reed is NOT that cool place, but i love it the way ppl fall in love...love is deaf and blind stuff...
neva'mind so u kenyon and colgate heros how hard is it to get in there? ( i dunno if any other heroine is here, oops!)</p>
