<p>Duke is a match simply because I schmoozed my Regional Rep so well he sent a Robertson Scholars person down to Memphis to tell me about it. I was freaked out. Happy, but freaked out.</p>
<p>KRabble, I just glanced at your AIM info and you like post secret too?!!?</p>
<p>I adore it. My best friend and I might go down to G-Town and see the exhibit next weekend.</p>
<p>p.s. Megalo, UChi is going to like this essay, just knowing what I do about UChi</p>
<p>i dont know, i just cant see why kids wouldnt want to apply to a few reach schools and pray like all of us.</p>
<p>Heh, I sure hope so, Eckie. My parents fall in the same bracket as yours, and they don't have ANY retirement savings...we've only been in the country like seven years.</p>
<p>So I need merit or good aid. Not getting good aid, so I'm probably ending up at USC on a Trustee.</p>
<p>Ohh.. yeah, I actually heard about PS right on these forums. By the way, that quote is from "The Catcher in the Rye". I'm not an angry person, but I thought the F-bomb was justified lol..</p>
<p>wait...i'm a noob. juss to clarify, reach schools are schools you have a decent shot at rite? Which schools would be my reach schools then?</p>
<p>I'm not getting ANY aid for sure... I'm international student...<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>yea I was in the same boat too but...umm...lets say a very nice grandparent said he would help me out.</p>
<p>Haha, I caught the quote. And I'm not really one offended by the F-bomb. I dont say it, 'cause I'm a ladyyyy, but no offense taken or anything.</p>
<p>Megalo, my friend is going to USC. I heard it's pretty, but the epitomy of the southern Greek party scene?</p>
<p>reach schools are hard to reach..usually most of the ivies..etc.. match schools are ones that you have a decent shot at.</p>
<p>any top tier school (all ivies and ivy level) is a reach unless you have a ton of money, youre a minority, or you have double legacy or more.</p>
<p>Reach schools are schools where you have a shot at statwise, but getting in might come down to essays and recs and ECs. At least in my understanding.</p>
<p>no californians here huh? USC's aiite. i live like 30-40 minutes from the place. Surrounding neighborhood ain't the greatest. but hey, when ur school's got the Trojans, they've GOT THE TROJAN!!! TROJANS OVER LONGHORNS (wat the hell is a longhorn anyways?) ANY DAY!</p>
<p>I was going to apply to Duke and GTown, but GTown is a mean, mean place, and for Duke...I only have 2 SAT II's and by that time, had gotten lazy. </p>
<p>Oh I do love the Shins</p>
<p>wait, which USC did you mean Megalo? I kind of assumed South Carolina...
SoCal and WashU, in other news, send me an absurd amount of unprovoked mail</p>
<p>Heh, remember the guy I told you about Eckie...the $10 dollars. Heh, he's at USC. He's my best friend, and he was on that crappy show, The Scholar. Lol.</p>
<p>Oh, and you're thinking of South Carolina. I'm thinking Southern California. Trojan Pride! But it's a party school too. However, the business school is very good, and the Trojan Family will work overtime to get me the job I want.</p>
<p>Nim, a longhorn is a type of cattle. Texas....dude, they are going down come Jan 4. Fight on!</p>
<p>longhorn is a type of cattle.</p>
<p>and no, no californians here</p>
<p>yea im not fond of the USC atmosphere but they have the exact major I want and their alumni network is pretty good.</p>
<p>so its a nice safety for me.</p>
<p>man. these forums are annoying...refresh, refresh, refresh. they should invent a chatroom version of this...but then again, it is called "procrastination" station and refreshing takes more time opposed to instant messaging which means its serving its purpose.</p>
<p>Hmmm...so UGA in the Sugar Bowl anybody? No???</p>
<p>Hmm. so football = lamezo?</p>
<p>okay guys. top 5 movies. ever. no order. GO GO GO</p>
