<p>Besides the fact that my parents went there, I applied to Hope College because I liked the anchor logo and thought it would look good on a sweatshirt.</p>

<p>lol.... i dint apply to berea college cos it required three teacher recs and all of them written :D i dint have the strength to go to my school and for written recs when my teachers had so sweetly agreed to online recs

<p>I didn't apply to University of Florida because it wasn't in the US rankings for engineering... but I guess that's not a very dumb reason. I mean I'd rather make money than become a florida gator... idk...</p>
<p>In the summer of my junior year of high school I had no idea what the college admission process was like. I had no idea about admission standards or anything. All I knew was that I apparently got a really high score on my SAT (2270) and had a great gpa (4.2). Well I ended up sending my scores to a lot of schools that I later realized were really really bad. But after like a week, I started to recieve a ton of emails giving me a VIP application. I was like, wow, these schools must love me, and I don't even have to pay an admission fee! So I sent my transcript to the schools and did the applications all in one day. I was so exicted I was being treated so highly for some of these colleges. Then two weeks later I get like 8 college acceptance letters, pretty much all of them offering a full scholarship. I showed my mom, and she just kind of laughed. She said "you know you can raise your bar a little more. These schools aren't really known for their acadmics." So yea I basically just wasted my time and effort applying to schools just because they sent me VIP applications. Just to give you an idea, I'd say the average gpa of those schools I applied to was like 2.8 and average sat score was like 1050.</p>
