<p>Come on, would ANY of you truthfully reject Harvard if you got in???;)</p>
<p>actually i would turn down harvard without a second thought and it doesnt have that many hott preppy girls..... diverse culture???? are you kidding?</p>
<p>good pharmacy program, the best co-op program, plenty of opportunities to gain experience in the field and build a resume, boston, diverse, not too cutt-throat, not a small liberal arts annoying type of thing, within my reach to get in</p>
<p>Terry, they celebrate pretty much every cultural festival/occasion at Harvard and the university is composed of more than 120 nationalities and ethnic groups, making it the most diverse university in the world. </p>
<p>Also, if you want to turn down a future of financial success, pimped-out Ferraris, luxurious mansions/summer houses, and hot supermodels, then by all means disregard my previous post.</p>
<p>Yeah, Harvard definitely is diverse. Ever heard of AA? Ever wondered why Asian seniors are so bitter and minorities are so confused? Hehe, don't shoot me.</p>
<p>I would honestly turn down Harvard. First of all, if I get into Harvard, I'd PROBABLY get into Yale too (though I realize this isn't always the case), and I'd definitely choose Yale. On the other hand, however, if I went to Harvard, I'd be socially pressed into hating Yale for being the archrival. I just wouldn't be able to make myself do it. Thus my social life would suffer and I would be miserable forever. I wouldn't want that, would I?</p>
<p>theoneo, do you know that Yale is referred to as the "gay ivy" and that you risk being shot by gang THUGGERS in New Haven??? I think Yale is a little bit too "unique" for my tastes but nevertheless, suit yourself.</p>
<p>Besides, Harvard PW3NS Yale in Football every year!!!</p>
<p>Patrick Bateman: He was into that whole Yale thing.
Donald Kimball: Yale thing?
Patrick Bateman: Yeah, Yale thing.
Donald Kimball: What whole Yale thing?
Patrick Bateman: Well, he was probably a closet homosexual who did a lot of cocaine. That whole Yale thing.</p>
<p>-American Psycho</p>
<p>Hahaha.</p>
<p>At least Yale actually has a mascot. Come on, you have to admit that's damn embarrassing. And that THUGGERS comment only proves how pompous and sheltered Harvard is.</p>
<p>University of Georgia Major? Public Relations Why? The campus, the reputation (everyone I've talked to absolutely LOVES/LOVED it there), the 'school spirit', location (being from Chicago, the futher south the better...although it is not the reason I chose it, just an added incentive ;]), has a good study abroad program, and **ATHENS<a href="need%20I%20say%20more?">/b</a></p>
<p>Princeton
Major: ChemE, Biochem, Neurosciences (Possibly one of the three, IDK yet)
Why:
1. Excellent Academics
2. Undergraduate focus
3. Best Financial Aid
4. Midway between NYC + Philly
5. Professors care more about students than, say, Harvard
6. Prestige - not gonna deny this is a factor
7. Overall awesomeness of student body
8. The most beautiful campus in the US
9. Small class sizes
10. Suburban, safe environment</p>
<p>Holy crap, you guys all going to really good schools... Maybe I'm underachieving with my 3.8 GPA and 2220 SAT, but I'm going to:</p>
<p>Texas A&M
Double Major in Genetics and Biochem (mostly Genetics)
Minor in Chem</p>
<p>And really, I'm fine with it. I think in the end, it's not where you go, but what you get out of the program. Besides, I have raised some money myself and can help my parents pay for the first two years, which I think it's kinda nice.</p>
<p>Well, ya, it's a good school. It just doesn't have the impact that the tohers have, but I'm still happy. :) (Except that people there seem a bit close minded... oh well, if you are too open minded i hear your brain falls out anyway)</p>
<p>Yeah, I got accepted in October and I'll be turning 17 in about two weeks. I'm youngest in my school's senior class, but it's really nothing much.</p>
<p>I always liked Indiana, but after realizing how Rank/SAT hungry they are, I decided to pull out. U. Nebraska is great because you have your smart kids, and your lazy kids, it creates a nice balance. Very affordable education, even for out of state students like me. Football there is god, with a nice social life. The people there are of the mid-western personality, very nice. There has been some grade inflation going on recently, and Omaha commerce is expanding rapidly.</p>
