what did you turn down to go to U of C?

<p>What schools did you not choose, or were too expensive compared to U of C?</p>

<p>Had they admitted me, I would have turned down UCSD and UCSC to go (in addition to CSUs).</p>

<p>... But they didn't, so I went to UCSC. :p</p>

<p>all mine were inferior to chicago, definatley not less expensive: Brandeis, CWRU, and Allegheny; i was waitlisted at carleton and bowdoin</p>

<p>amherst, northwestern, tulane, boston university, and then another few that i was waitlisted at =)</p>

<p>they were/are all the same price; i didn't apply for financial aid. however, i did get 22 000 from tulane...</p>

<p>NYU, Vanderbilt, and Rutgers (a good state university with full ride).</p>

<p>University of Minnesota: Twin Cities (though I still like that school)</p>

<p>There would be other schools but I got in EA so I never finished my other applications (or payed for them).</p>

<p>columbia and the university of texas at austin</p>

<p>cornell, northwestern, cmu, uva, michigan, usc</p>

<p>brandeis, ucla, boston u, macalester, ucsd.</p>

<p>rutgers, university of maryland, nyu, george washington, boston u, american, and fordham</p>

<p>....i <3 chicago</p>

<p>university of illinois-urbana/champaign (engineering), university of wisconsin-madison, boston college, northwestern, university of toronto (engineering sciences program)</p>

<p>Duke University</p>

<p>NYU-Stern</p>

<p>As for the rest...well...it wasn't so much "turned down" as Chicago saved me from...American, BYU, and Wellesley</p>

<p>michigan honors...the rest, i just didn't apply to because chicago was my first choice, EA.</p>

<p>10 other schools... Some private colleges with great reputations(imagine disppointed parents here..lol), some decent LACs, great state schools, and etc...</p>

<p>iowa, illinois, michigan, wisconsin-madison, usc, wash u in st. louis, and northwestern.</p>

<p>Husky Sky, have you forgotten the names of those "private colleges with great reputations" and "decent LACs" or something? I'd like to know exactly which colleges.</p>

<p>wow, does anyone the stats, between cross admits with U of Chicago and Northwestern, like which school wins in the cross admits. I got into both, but sadly, had to turn both of these fantastic places for Cornell.</p>

<p>Brinestorm,
I did forget the names of those schools...What can I say? Just blame my short term memory... lol..xP<br>
You can actually find some of those schools out b/c I made the mistakes of posting at some of those forums...lol... (thank God..I stopped doing that after the April 1st..haha) I rather not disclose all of them...
you're right I shouldn't have written anything in this thread.. but I couldn't resist to contribute in some silly way...! Please forgive me!</p>

<p>I turned down George Washington- Honors- NYU Stern- John Hopkins-Washington U St.Louis over Chicago (yeah rite)-BC-Tufts and a millon other schools- those were the big ones</p>
