<p>No southern schools or ivies for me also. Same reasons as AnagramPanda. No schools in Oregon because my sister is at University of Oregon, plus it doesn’t seem like a very exciting place to live for four years (no offense lol). Didn’t apply to University of Arizona because a coworker that went there told me it was a party school. Didn’t apply to UCSB, UCM, UCR, or UCSC because I don’t want to pay for a $40 K education when I can probably get a better deal/education at UW (instate WA student).</p>
<p>Columbia University in NYC because the campus is too small</p>
<p>The schools I wanted to go to for so long… lol
Boston College - too hard to get in
UC Berkeley - too far and too hard to get in</p>
<p>Harvard - got into Yale, would much rather go there instead
Penn - FA not as good, gritty surroundings
MIT - would go crazy there, in a bad way
Vandy - too expensive for a school that’s not tip-top
Brown - don’t like the campus, prefer Dartmouth
Cornell - middle of nowhere</p>
<p>99.99% of the universities in the world, at least.
why? a lot of reasons, some of which includes not enough time, not interested, doesn’t have majors i like, too small/big.</p>
<p>Cal tech- I hate the idea of fighting three other guys to get a chick who’s not all that attractive in the first place</p>
<p>lmao mcmath… but then again you’re in california so i’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have to worry about a shortage of hot chicks…</p>
<p>most privates - $$$</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What? That makes no sense at all.</p>
<p>NYU: Was my top choice, but my best friend who went there died in September, so it would be really tough to go there and not cry all the time.
Williams: My brother went there, but it’s too small of a town
Northwestern: Too far from home
Georgetown: Too tough to get into
Sarah Lawrence: Too few guys/the whole “best friend dying in NYC” thing</p>
<p>simple, honest reasons for me.</p>
<p>ivies: grades not good enough. (but regretting now not having applied to atleast one, just to see…)
stanford: same.</p>
<p>LCronin: wher u applyin to the SFS at GT?</p>
<p>Based on the almost a dozen kids I’ve spoken to over break, should have had S apply to one more Ivy once rejected ed dartmouth because of those dozen all were rejected from Dartmouth and all but one either got into yale or harvard. Go figure.</p>
<p>“D did not apply to Reed because when she visited there were 2-3 students smoking outside of most buildings.”</p>
<p>Are there schools that don’t allow smoking anywhere on campus?</p>
<p>MIT: bro got rejected and he had better stats than me
UT: BECAUSE I HATE THE HORNS
OU:its ou for gosh sakes. duh why id dint apply
USC: parents encouraged me against it.
Reed: uh, no thanks! no interest in such a liberal school with prominent drug use.</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd. My s hated the way the dorms were laid out. The method can be described as “Neo-Stalinist”</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to any privates, or top-tier UCs. My grades/SATs aren’t high enough, so it’d be throwing money away.</p>
<p>Havard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford: saving my chances for graduate school (YHP, etc. only let you apply upto 3 times acc. to a college Q&A I attended)
UPenn: Didn’t like the supplement (really stupid reason, I know)
UChicago: Great education, but known to be too “bookish” and it looks too much like home
Dartmouth: too isolated</p>
<p>*Harvey Mudd. My s hated the way the dorms were laid out. The method can be described as “Neo-Stalinist” *</p>
<p>That seems a reason why I WOULD apply there!</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to any California schools because my parents wouldn’t let me apply to the West Coast. =[</p>
<p>Didn’t Apply to :</p>
<p>-UCSD: Wouldn’t have chosen it.
-UCSB: Dumb decision, I should’ve, I didn’t think it was a good school back then.
-UCM: Where the F is Merced?
-UCSC: Looked at a map and said “No”
-UCD: Cows, too many cows, farmland, yeah, not my thing.
-Ivies: Didn’t want to file the documentation because it’ll be hard.
-Stanford: Didn’t apply on time
-USC: I don’t like USC because I’m biased with UCLA</p>
