Non accepted students: WHAT NOW?

<p>There are probably dozens of us here at cc who didnt get into schools of their choice. I, for example, didn't get into any of the colleges that i applied to. Only accepted at Caldwell, Colby Sawyer and JUB.</p>

<p>So for rejected students, what are your safeties? Will you go to safetys/take a year off...AGAIN!, or study in Nepal.</p>

<p>Also, how many of you guys are going to JUB?</p>

<p>Aren’t you going to JUB?</p>

<p>@ledthezeppelin, caldwell decisions are out already? When did you hear from them?!
And what about JUB, didn’t get aid or don’t like the college (or anything else)?..
Because I personally would go to any country besides Nepal, I would suggest Asia-Pacific in Japan.</p>

<p>I know that with the earthquake & stuff, its pretty difficult & all, but please check this out

<p>& the final application deadline is May 10!!I am applying to APU if I don’t get aid from anywhere else.</p>

<p>@led…what are you planning to major in?</p>

<p>I have no fricking idea what I’m going to major in. Hell, I don’t even know where I should go? Of course JUB is great, but it has it flaws. First off, a 6000euro per year loan, 3 years bachelors, language problem, established in 2001, not so recognized, can’t be sure of graduate placement in the US.</p>

<p>So I’m thinking of going to Caldwell, and probably transfer to some good public schools (don’t know how easy thats going to be).</p>

<p>Caldwell’s decisions are rolling. You get their decision in 2 weeks or so after you submit your docs. If your composite score is not 1200 or above, dont apply. You wont get full tuition.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>The three-year bachelor’s at JUB is equivalent to a four-year bachelor’s at an American University. And, people have had great placements into grad schools from JUB too… I know a few students who have gotten into Rice (goes without saying, actually), Cornell, and U Toronto.</p>

<p>Yes, recognition might be a problem though…</p>

<p>You certainly won’t have language problems within JUB… about 75% of the students there are international. Better yet, you will get to improve on your German language skills (if you plan to work in Germany, you will need a certification equivalent to C1 level).</p>

<p>With all that said, I am most probably attending Trinity College, but had it not been for ONE factor (which I don’t want to disclose publicly, and which probably doesn’t affect most of you) I would have definitely chosen JUB.</p>

<p>@sarba…finally, u revealed ur college…</p>

<p>A Computer Science prof. at JUB wrote to one of my friends in a greeting following his acceptance that many of their students get placements at Microsoft and Google, or get enrolled at Ivies in grad. Also, a prof. of Earth and Space Sciences wrote to me that their program is ranked no. 1 in Germany.</p>

<p>I don’t think the recognition issue would create so much of a problem. Isn’t JUB spawned from Rice University and the University of Bremen, which are two highly recognized universities in the world?!</p>

<p>zep392: come online</p>

<p>CS 13, ^^Yes! </p>

<p>Abhi, I know you man! :wink: </p>

<p>Believe me, loan is not a great issue at this moment. Just goto JUB. JUB is fantastic!!</p>

<p>My name is Sarba Raj. But all of you knew that already :p</p>

<p>Honesty is the best policy.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>well it may be the best policy, but it certainly won’t get your friend a free cake on his birthday ;)</p>

<p>[ripped off a common app prompt… guess which college :stuck_out_tongue: ]</p>

<p>^^That college rejected me! </p>

<p>Ps: I couldn’t find that magic x!</p>

<p>I want to attend jub. What scares the hell outta me.is the 6k loan! how am i supposed to pay that? like evangelica said, are we given jobs after we graduate? what if i cant pay the loan?!</p>

<p>Even Trinity places a 5k loan in its aid package, right? I suppose those loans aren’t that hard to pay once you graduate from college and find a job.</p>

<p>yup…Trinity has 5K loan but it’s like mandatory…i think we have to pay it within 10 yrs of graduation…</p>
