<p>k so i don't have the best stats and I didn't get into "stellar" schools, but as Gavin DeGraw says, "I don't wanna be anything other then me..." so that doesn't matter. K this is my situation. </p>
<p>I got into:
-American University
-Ithaca College
-SUNY New Paltz
-Quinnipiac University (but declined already)
-SUNY Bing (but got deferred to Spring admissions.... strange I'm on an "unranked weighting list" to get into fall... but if i call enough times i'm sure i'll get in during the fall.. that is if i wanted too)</p>
<p>Still weighting for GW, although since i haven't heard anything I'm sure i got rejected.. </p>
<p>My major is: Poly Sci (at least today) :-D But umm... yeah I mean I'm going back to visit AU, Ithaca, New Paltz and maybe bing during spring break, but for the most part when I saw these colleges, i really didn't get that "feeling" that was like omfg i have to go here. (well i did get that feeling sort of at a college, but i got rejected from there :( )</p>
<p>So yeah I just want to know what you guys think is the "better" school to go too... because I really don't know... I mean like..</p>
<p>AU= crap school of DC, plus i've heard that it is a big party school, and i'm just not into the whole big party scene.
Bing= ugly, many people aren't happy here
Ithaca= crap school of the community.... i'll feel like i'm at the "second rate" college in the area, plus i know people with like much worse stats then me who got in
New Paltz= crap town (NOTHING is there = nothing to do except for like smoking weed)
QU= I declined already, not a good poly sci department, plus 3 or 4 people in one dorm room is SO not cool. </p>
<p>Okay so i know i just trashed the school that most likely Ill be going too.. but arg... i am so confused and i have no idea what i want to do or where I want to go.. PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>It seems as if you're not too thrilled about any of the schools you got into. If you're so unhappy now about these colleges, just imagine how you're going to feel when you actually have to spend four years at the college you eventually choose. I would go to a community college and work hard for two years and transfer into a school that you actually think you will be most happy at.
If that's out of the question, I would recommend American U. or SUNYB. American is far from a crap school and you can always find people who dont want to party all the time. SUNYB has good poli sci program and is a respected state school that is surprisingly well known. </p>
<p>i agree, its definitely between American and Binghamton.</p>
<p>if money is an issue definitely go to Binghamton, it is highly respected regionally and the best SUNY. You should also look into American -- my friend went there for a year and transfered into George Washington but he said it was good.</p>

<p>haha yeah i did. The week that I posted that message i was sick, very stressed out, and just about to my breaking point. But I'm fine now really... thanks to everyone who replied. I am very happy with the schools I got into and i am so over the schools that rejected me (their loss). Yeah so... my choice is so between AU and Bing. I'll keep you guys updated about my final decision. </p>
<p>Thanks again for replying to me in my moment of need...</p>
