<p>@AUGirl: The NAU policy is pretty clear…

Still, I don’t see why the OP has to be such a hater. Seriously, does it affect you?</p>
<p>I actually understand what the OP is saying. A lot of my friends (none of whom are dummies) post excited statuses about getting accepted to state schools that I never even heard of until I went to public school. But like other people said, I think the excitement comes from realizing that the whole going-to-college thing is for real. That’s a big deal and something to be proud of no matter where you’re going.</p>
<p>Also, ASU isn’t exactly a s****y school. Sure, it’s not super selective, but it’s still a pretty cool place to know you may be attending in a year (I have a guy friend out there who says the social scene is UH-mazing).</p>
<p>^ Yeah, ASU is pretty good.</p>
<p>I decided to look back at this thread…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What’s funny is that I’m a first generation college student whose family makes <30K per year, and I live in a very average Airzona suburb. So, no, sorry.</p>
<p>When I reread my initial post, I still don’t understand how people get that impression of me. Nowhere have I said that ASU/NAU are bad schools, that these people shouldn’t celebrate, or that I’m in any way “better” than these students. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This was my point, essentially. People should research the schools they apply to, and that’s it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was my point: people should KNOW whether they’ll be accepted before they apply. And it does affect me, as I previously mentioned, in that multiple times people have asked me, “omg will I get into ASU?” And I’m like "uhh, well look at the requirements and answer the question yourself! </p>
<p>I never intended to hate on these students or the schools they were accepted to. I’m actually applying to ASU myself as a safety.</p>
<p>just bc i know i will get into a safety school dsn’t mean i won’t be putting my aceptance up on fb when i can… share in the happiness, y’know?</p>
<p>That literally never happens to me haha, but it would annoy me. Literally 95% of my HS’s grads either go to the local CSU (like 85% acceptance rate) or JC. So glad I’m getting out of this self-righteously conservative town.</p>
<p>This thread was pretty funny, I must say.</p>
