<p>I got university of Ghana? and Yale. Those quizzes are stupid, and totally inaccurate.</p>
<p>Oh come on, joev. It's just a quiz. Light, harmless fun. Don't take it so seriously. :) Of course they're gonna be inaccurate. If a 7 question test could accurately predict where you belong for college, they would drop the current admissions process in a heartbeat and just make everyone take this....</p>
<p>I, however, am pretty impressed with the quiz. I went back and changed answers so that I could read about more colleges, and the info the quiz provides is hilarious and surprisingly in depth. There's alot of "inside joke" info that you won't understand unless you actually know about the school. </p>
<p>(For example, for SUNY, it mentioned how you've become really attached to the number 361. )</p>
<p>1st time: Wesleyan (it basically said i was boring and same as everyone else, not true at all!)
2nd time: University of Toronto (???) (I didn't even bother to read this)
3rd time: can't remember :)
4th time: Vassar (Okay, but not excellent)
5t time: Uni of Paris Excellent, it correctly guess that I have a very split personality and can rememeber certain things very well and completely forget some other things. It also said i was fiery, so true! and smart but unreliable (people now know not to cheat off me since my grades can bounce from A's to D's in a few days, depending on how I'm feeling, lol)</p>
<p>joev, you had to pick him over Cleopatra didn't you? :) Same here. Damn you Kofi.</p>
<p>Actually, my parents said that the U of Ghana is pretty darn competitive, almost like the ivy league of ghana. They're both from ghana, and even though neither of them went to uni there, they said it was still an excellent school for being so poorly funded. Imagine, in the us we have 1000+ college choices for, what, about 5 million 18 yr olds? in ghana, they have 3 or so colleges for a million or so of the same age. So you'd have to be really smart to go there. African kids (FROM AFRICA, not black or born in Africa or have african parents, but real raised in africa kids) who are not in poverty are actually pretty darn smart. my mom said everyone would be crying because they had to sell crap instead of go to school. My dad was a prince in one of the provinces, and his dad got him the best schooling and stuff in ghana, and when he came to the US, he got full scholarships to Brown AND Yale, and is now a very succesful physician. If all the students in ghana had access to free school, and there were child labor laws, and everyone one wasn't so darn poor, i'm sure that the u of ghana would be even more competitive than it is today. And since everyone in ghana is VERY grateful if they get the ability to go to college, the students are probably 200 times more dedicated than the most dedicated students here. So research your facts before you put down a college, or something else you don't know about.</p>
<p>I never put down the University of Ghana. I just put a question mark after it because I had never heard of it. I am sure it is a fine institution. I was just hoping for Ohio State or KSU. (like they would give Ohio schools love)</p>
<p>Actually, I think both OSU and Kent State are in there, plus Case Western. That's 3 Ohio schools. :)</p>
<p>Mine says "You're Columbia University!", which is now my first choice, and a school I absolutely love. If only I could get in..........</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I did the same thing, and you're right, the descriptions are very well-written.</p>
<p>I got Yale. Yup, that makes sense.</p>
<p>1st time:
You're Chapman University!
While you associate your foundation with oranges and a mild climate, you have become a bit of a traveler and even an expansionist over time. Now you're all but scattered to the winds, with pockets of influence in a variety of places, especially the suburbs. Many have wondered if you're spreading yourself too thin, and you probably secretly suspect that you are. But your favorite show is still "The OC".</p>
<p>2nd time:
You're Columbia University!
Somewhat rough and tumble, you're looking for the lion's share of whatever you can get your hands on. You feel utterly surrounded by chaos and noise, but at the same time have access to a good deal of culture and influence. In this chaotic setting, you attempt to be a bastion of relative calm. You adore staircases and once expressed a desire to paint your roof green.</p>
<p>First try:
You're Harvard University!
You're stuck up beyond all possible comparison, but at the same time, most of the world agrees with your lofty opinion of yourself. You've worked tirelessly to establish your reputation, and now that seems to be most all you care about. With that reputation, you've been able to draw talent to you like a magnet, and that's helped propel you even further in life in an upward spiral. While much of you is actually beautiful, you can be really ugly when you're talking about science.</p>
<p>I enrolled at Harvard. That's freaky.</p>
<p>Second try:
You're the California Institute of Technology!
You are seen by many as a constantly rising star, but with the amount of work on your plate, you're afraid of becoming a shooting star as well. Sometimes you take your bottled-up aggression out on pumpkins, or those younger than you, or even just bottle it up in rockets. Though you aren't much for the opera, Wagner can wake you up in any situation. While many people view you as a Martian, you might be responsible for putting a human on Mars some day.</p>
<p>Yay! I got Columbia University!</p>
<p><em>le sigh</em> If only I can get in now...</p>
<p>You're the State University of New York, Purchase!
While you keep very impressive company, you're not really that impressive yourself. Over the years, however, you've touted your progress and are now very attached to the number 361. Overall, you really like to spend a lot of your time pretending. One of your favorite phrases is "so sue me!" People think you're constantly in the market to buy, even though you can't afford much.</p>
<p>hmmm....i haven't even heard of this school....but sheez these guys must hate me...</p>
