<p>Hey! :) I know the chances of someone seeing this are minimal, but I just had to try to wake this board up.</p>
<p>I applied to UCONN Early Action this year because I sincerely want to go to this school. They are definitely trying hard to make it the best it can be, and it's already holding its own as one of the best public universities in the Northeast.</p>
<p>I have a 1320 SAT, a 3.5 GPA, and I'm a people person around the community :) Call me ironic, but as someone social (and dry) I like the idea of going to a school in a rural setting that houses hundreds of different people. The possibilities are endless when it comes to studies ;) I'm still undecided between Pre-Pharm and Econ, which I put down as my choices.</p>
<p>Any other person out there agree? :) Hope to see a fellow Husky come Fall 2005!</p>
<p>I applied ED too, keeeping my fingers crossed that I get in, sooooo many CT people are applying this year that supposedly not everyone will get in.</p>
<p>Wow! O_o I know... all the new renovations and the joint win of the Huskies is probably attracting a lot of people ^^; Oh well... hope to see ya there! :)</p>
<p>Sabrina -- good luck, you'll probably get in, but the whole dry thing...
I go to EO Smith, in Storrs, in the middle of the Uconn campus and it is quite definitely not a dry campus. Rural...there are definitely a lot of cows...you get used to it.
I guess my whole reluctance to go to Uconn stems from its location (and my location) and the fact that my parents both went there, but objectively, it really is a good school and the basketball teams are awesome. Who watched the game tonight? I maintain that the coolest thing about living where I do is the occasional run-ins with Huskies...;)
Anyway, good luck to you all. Hopefully I'll be getting out of here and you'll be getting in.</p>
<p>You bring up excellent points, eireann :) UCONN is a party school by most accounts... I guess I'm crossing my fingers that it's like Ohio Wesleyan, which parties but does give a great education. As 66th on the US News rankings, I guess it can't be too shabby :) Another deciding factor is that a significant number of my friends are applying that have been following the college process since freshman year. ^^ I figure that it's a perfect choice, especially since I will likely be considered a transfer student with the 45+ credits I'll have earned from community college by then.</p>
<p>Lol, cows... mom grew up on a farm and she got teary-eyed when she saw the ad for "homemade ice cream" or something of the like near the campus. I think she hopes I will get in mainly because it's so close she'll keep tabs on me all weekends, so I can relate to the parents issue. ^_^;</p>
<p>I was looking up stats today and I was surprised to see that UCONN said that there were 26000 students on their campus (probably both grad and undergrad)! That could be another flaw in my once-perfect school, but there's simply no telling until I get there, I guess. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the heads up! ^_^ I wish I could see into the future, but to pass the time I suppose I'll fill out other applications, just in case. ;) I agree, meeting the Huskies would be awesome! I have long been a basketball fan, though my hopes were dashed when my pediatrician told me that I would never be taller than 5'2". What kid needs to hear that at 13? Oh well :) I did not see the game because of a philosophy essay on the unfairness of life <em>sigh</em> The irony of it all.</p>
<p>Lol, anyway, best of luck to you, too! :) Are you applying there and to other colleges or just to other colleges? :D What are you planning to major in, and what are your goals in life? ^^</p>
<p>The homemade ice cream is the Uconn dairy bar, which is absolutely awesome! I guess the cows are milked on campus...</p>
<p>I think undergrad is only about 14,000 and many of the grad students live off-campus. THe campus itself isn't that big really -- maybe a 15-minute walk across. Although now that I think about it, the new frat-houses and maybe some dorms (which were all just put up with Uconn 2000 and I think are quite ugly) are further and so is some of the ag stuff.</p>
<p>I am applying to Uconn. My parents say that it is an excellent school and the most affordable -- so if noone else gives me any financial aid I'm goimg there. I want to major in journalism and be a political newspaper reporter, so I'd really like to be in a city, preferably Boston or DC.</p>
<p>I applied EA also, to the 8 year med program. From MA, 1520, SAT II's 780W/740Spanih/730Bio/710IC/690IIC, A- average. Lots of medical-type EC's. I really like the school, besides the fact that it's in the middle of nowhere. All of the other schools I applied to were in big cities (Boston, NYC, DC and Providence). </p>
<p>And Sabrina, I don't drink either, but I love partying.</p>
<p>Me three. I applied from NH to the 8 Year med program. Under the reduced tuition for Biomedical Engineering as an undergraduate major, I hope i get in. It is basically the same for me, no financial aid somewhere else, go to UConn. </p>
<p>Thats awesome man. I hope I get in BioMed too. I live in NH, so maybe I will get my decision i little little later than you. I am wishing for the best haha.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the dates the Admissions office says they will release EA decisions by? I just got the med program application on Monday, so that means they processed my applicaion.</p>
<p>I applied in mid-Nov. . Its weird that some kids are getting stuff this early while others are not, but UCONN has first come first serve admissions</p>
<p>With the honors program you really don't need to have the Combined Program, as long as you keep up a 3.5 gpa and get a 28 on the MCAT you are guaranteed admissions to the med school at UCONN</p>
