<p>Ok
Academics:
It would sound wrong for me to ask for nobel winning professors,etc. But if my parents are shelling out 50 grand for an education I would hope that it pays off. Also, one of my biggest problems with high school is small class size. I know it’s strange, and most people cherish this but I am the type of person who will somewhat absorb what’s being taught in class and then go home and fully understand it. Which is why I hate it when my teachers randomly call on people to answer questions, because I am always the one answering “ummm idk?”.
But I would also like for professors to be available during office hours, to answer any questions that arise when I am studying by myself.
Another thing I can’t stand about High School that I wish is gone by the time in College is teacher bias. in AP Stats, I completely blew off doing homework for a week and now the teacher hates me and she always looks for ways to screw me over on tests and quizzes, even stupid **** like forgetting to write my name.</p>
<p>Student Population:
One of my high hopes for college is that there will no longer be any real idiots and I will finally be around people who I can actually have a real conversation with , without having to omit vocabulary and basically dumbing my thoughts down to a 5th grade level.
Preferably a diverse group of kids, from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and social classes. Also a large student body is welcome</p>
<p>Setting::::
I’m strictly applying to urban schools, with NYU (Stern) as my first choice. Recently it’s been my dream to live in a large city, especially NYC, as well as maybe Boston and Chicago. I’ve been to all 3, especially New York (since I live on LI), and I find them to be th most fascinating places on earth.</p>
