<p>current: ccc

applying: uci, ucd, ucla, csulb, sdsu, sfsu, unlv, northern michigan, colorado state</p>
<p>basically i have no idea what i want to do. </p>
<p>^ I was wondering why northern micgican?</p>
<p>can anyone explain what they expect it to be like to apply to 5+ schools? Doesn't that mean you need to get tons of recs from tons of professors, write tons of essays, ask your HS counselor for tons of transcripts and recs, and pay enormous fees (500+)?</p>
<p>I applied to 3 schools.</p>
<p>Here is the breakdown:
TWO required HS Counselor forms
TWO required Dean's forms
THREE required HS Transcripts ($6 total)
TWO had application fees ($110 total)
THREE required College transcripts ($30 total)
So there's $146.</p>
<p>I had three professors write recommendations - I sent one only to UChicago and the other two recommendations were generic and went to all 3.</p>
<p>current: community college in seattle, wa
major: finance
applying: usc, uw, and seattleu</p>
<p>current: umichigan ross
major: business
applying to: harvard</p>
<p>i highly doubt it though. harvard wants a liberal arts curriculum, which i don't have. i also think i'd be transferring way too much -_-</p>
<p>Current: Georgetown
Major: English and French
Applying to: Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth (maybe), UPenn (maybe)</p>
<p>Current: NYU
Major: Individualized Study/Communicaitons
Applying to: BU, Dartmouth(maybe)</p>
<p>Current: Loyola (Chicago)
Major: Sociology-Anthropology
Applying to (tentative): </p>
<p>in no particular order
Vassar, Oberlin, Brown, NYU, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, UChicago, Northwestern</p>
<p>HAHAHA i knew it forgiven...i thought you were planning on transferring to harvard...dude you just got to umich right? You may like it more than you think...</p>
<p>Oh and updated for me:
Current: Montgomery Community College (Houston)
Major: Economics (or business if school has it)
Applying to:
Amherst, Swat, Wesleyan, NYU, Northwestern, Georgetown, Emory, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, UT-Austin, Chicago...BU (last minute)</p>
<p>I don't know for sure if I'll apply to BU, but I'm pretty sure something will overcome me and I'll throw together an application at the last minute. :)
And if I feel that I have the time,which I most likely won't, I'll be applying to Williams so that I can get that rejection letter.</p>
<p>Current School: CMU (I'm going to be a freshman this coming fall)
Major(s): Physics, Math, and Computer Science
Want to transfer to: MIT(by far my number one chioce)
Stanford
Caltech
Cornell (CAS)
UChicago
Columbia
NYU(a safety just so I can keep my options open if I want to come back to NYC)</p>
<p>To be perfectly honest, I love CMU from what I've heard and seen so far but I feel I'm a better fit for MIT. The other schools(besides Columbia, NYU, and UChicago) are there just so I can keep my options open. Columbia and NYU are there just in case I'd like to return to NYC. As for UChicago, I think I'm a good fit for the school plus I'd really like to be around Argonne Lab and Fermilab for research purposes. I'm still not sure if I want to transfer, the research at CMU is the only thing leading me to even thinking about doing so.</p>
<p>haha brand, it all depends how much money michigan is willing to give me. i would love to stay and graduate at ross, but if it costs me over 35k in loans a year, it might be kinda rough. i'm only considering applying to an ivy because of the amazing aid they offer. i'll most likely apply to upenn over harvard though. i'll definitely have a better shot at penn.. haha.</p>
<p>samcold- i heard MIT accepts about 6 transfer students each year. Good luck though.</p>
<p>I've heard it too, it's mainly because they've over-enrolled the past couple of years. This year i think they took 16 transfers which is still horrible. I've also heard that they enrolled almost exactly the amount they wanted this year. So hopefully that will lead them to accepting more transfers next year. I really want to be at MIT, whether it be for undergrad, grad, post doc, professorship (if I ever make it that far). I know I have a tough road ahead but if I can manage to get at least a 3.75 at CMU and show the admissions committee how much I want to be at MIT, I think I have a shot.</p>
<p>yeah-16 is still ridiculous. Plus i read this on their website:</p>
<p>If you have completed two or more terms at an accredited college, university, technical institute, military academy or community college, you may apply for transfer admission to MIT. We do not, however, admit students who will have finished less than one year of college or will be within three semesters of acquiring a bachelor's degree at the time of transfer.</p>
