<p>Yeah wharton, Kubrick really likes classical music. Have you seen 2001: A Space Odyssey?</p>
<p>That's music.</p>
<p>A lot of people enter Wharton with the intention of submatriculating. However, during your junior/senior years, all of your peers will be obsessing over ibanks and consulting firms. It's rather difficult not to get caught up in the recruiting madness and opt for post-grad employment instead.</p>
<p>Where else did u visit? I went to Columbia, Cornell, Colgate, Williams, Amherst, Haverford, Swarthmore, Villanova, Penn, Georgetown, & Yale (didn't go on tour bc it's in the total ghetto)- [how many Yale students does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, new haven looks better in the dark]</p>
<p>i'll never really understand 2001: a space odyssey. lol. very obscure. but I do get clockwork, although i thought the book was better (one of my top 5)</p>
<p>Is yale that bad? I wish I could visit but thats impossible cuz im in socal :(.</p>
<p>I barely visited any schools; just Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Cornell (TASP), Penn, and Princeton (through their Humanities Symposium). This thread is moving way too rapidly for me.. currently working on an article.</p>
<p>yale is a bit overrated. if u intend to study humanities or sciences i would look at the small liberal arts colleges (colgate, williams, and haverford were absolutely amazing). i didn't like georgetown, cornell, or yale because they seemed way too big.</p>
<p>I'm in the DC area, so JHU and Georgetown were easy for me to access. I go to Georgetown at least once a month for various events anyway.</p>
<p>2001 is obscure? I had a harder time understanding clockwork.</p>
<p>2001 relies on using images and music for its narrative. clockwork's narrative stems from alex, so kubrick distorts it. It's hard to find perception in clockwork, but that is the point. 2001, for me, is the most understandable film ever (and i've seen quite a lot).</p>
<p>I overlooked the fact that you are a jazz pianist. Perhaps if we both get into/attend TASP, we can jam (I am a guitarist). DirectorsCut, have you seen Brazil? I just watched it last night... crazy movie. The Seventh Seal wasn't bad either.
I am having serious qualms abuot posting/TASP. Ugh.</p>
<p>Georgetown's campus is pretty small; the undergraduate populations at Georgetown/Yale/Penn are pretty similar in terms of size, aren't they?</p>
<p>that would be awesome. what kind of jazz r u into?</p>
<p>this is moving fast...</p>
<p>chaotic: ya, i didn't like georgetown because i decided that i hate DC... lol too many tourists.</p>
<p>for academic interests, what kinds of things did you guys put?</p>
<p>Like, I just put academic classes i like (english history). are other people going into more detail?</p>
<p>I LOOOOOOVE Bergman. Fanny Alexander, Persona, and Wild Strawberries are my favorites.</p>
<p>Anything, really. A sampler of my iTunes high-played jazz reveals:
Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Bill Frisell, The Dixieland All-Stars, Bill Evans/Jim Hall, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Joe Pass, Erik Friedlander, JOHN COLTRANE!, Ethio-Jazz, and Django Reinhardt.
You?</p>
<p>Bill Evans/Scott La Faro, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis (how original...), Cannonball Adderley, Wayne Shorter, & Chick Corea</p>
<p>yeah this rate is insane. cc should have a aim chat function >.<</p>
<p>or we can just talk on aim... i'm talking to a fellow prospective TASPer right now, actually.</p>
<p>Chick Corea - do you like Return to Forever? Cannonball kicks it. I didn't put Miles because he was a given... but which era is your favorite? Kind of Blue is classic, of course, but I really enjoy *****es' Brew and On the Corner (Mile's trip-hop funkadelic jamboree).</p>
