<p>Well, class of '08, it’s that time of year for us. Time for us to send out our plethera of apps to a myriad of universities all to simply choose one. My question is this, who here has Butler on their list?</p>
<p>List: username, gender, intended major, home state, is this your first choice school? (yes, no)</p>
<p>This way we may all get to know eachoter a bit better if we would see eachother next year! </p>
<p>(Okay, so really I’m just bored and interested to see how many people on here are thinking of Butler, okay?)</p>
<p>Well, I'll just give you my entire list....
1. Ohio University
2. LSU
3. Auburn
4. Butler
5. Georgia
6. SIU
7. U of I
8. Bradley
9. Dayton
10. Duquesne
11. Tulane</p>
<p>I'm also looking at Indiana, Miami of Ohio, Marquette, Ohio University, SMU, and Ohio State. Butler is the smallest and I'm not sure I want a small school. Nice campus and good PA program though.</p>
<p>I just spoke with a young lady who has already graduated from college. She is pursuing PA programs for grads and said that had she known about the profession earlier, she would have gone to Butler based on the strength of the program.</p>
<p>My son just received his Admissions offer yesterday. It's his first one and he definitely wants to visit. Can somebody tell me what is involved in the True Blue visit?</p>
<p>We're out of town for the holidays so have to wait for our decision (should have 2 decisions in our mailbox.) I don't know about the True Blue visit, but have done the regular visit. I thought the campus was very nice. We also asked to meet with someone in my son's intended major, which they agreed to do. Two small things stood out (in a good way) in my mind; introducing us to a handicapped man that works in the cafeteria and bringing out the school mascot to greet everyone.</p>
<p>Thanks, toledo. I actually did a visit with my daughter a few years ago and really liked the school. My son applied based on our recommendation and talking to the Admissions rep on her visit to his high school. I'm really looking forward to seeing his reaction to the visit.</p>
<p>My son was accepted, too. He's also in at Gannon Univ. and Seton Hall, who both have PA programs. We didn't get anything about a True Blue Visit. I had assumed that was an accepted student visit, but maybe not?!! What major is your son considering?</p>
<p>My son is undeclared. He's waiting to hear from a few other schools, although he's very interested in Butler. The True Blue visit is listed as an option on the website. I'm just curious about it.</p>
<p>Hey everyone! I will be sending out an email with more info on True Blue in 5-7 days. There will also be a mailing going out to all admitted students. </p>
<p>In a nutshell, True Blue lets you shadow a current student with a similar academic interest. This could include sitting in on a class, talking with a professor, eating lunch in the union, and doing whatever else a student might do for a typical school day.</p>
<p>I'm finishing up links on the website today, so you will have more info shortly!</p>
<p>What year are you? Major? Hometown?
the admission staff touts/yells their placement office's very high success rates within 6 months of graduating. pharmacy and education majors at 98%+, and business is at 94%. Do you know if the business program is really that strong? Otherwise, how much studying daily do you and most non-medical majors do? where are most of the parties? what happen on most weekends? venture to downtown Indianapolis very often?
thanks</p>
<p>I spent a weekend in the fall with my boyfriend at butler. he's a freshman in the pharmacy program. (in otherwords i hear plenty about all thats going on there)</p>
<p>Weekends = sports games (basketball obviously big) they have a dawg pound club that gives you a card that gets you into games for free, i believe.
Seems like there are parties every weekend at frats. Some parties are more organized, others less.
And as far as studying, As a pharmacy major my boyfriend studies a lot, about 50 hours. the traditional studying method is 2-3 hours for every one hour of class. In his opinion the business students have like a fraction of what he has.
downtown Indianapolis is accesible, i dont think kids go downtown every weekend. but my boyfriend has gone to movie theaters, shows, almost went to a colts game i think?</p>
<p>Hopefully that helped some? Also anyone who hasnt visited. Go visit. Its gorgeous. Try to find a student you are some how acquainted with to walk around with after the real tour. (I dont know about the True Blue but i think the regular tour doesnt take you inside the rec center, its really nice!)</p>
<p>sdavis.....ButlerBrad is the e-com guy at Butler, not a student. </p>
<p>freezinginthesno...Thanks for the information. Does your boyfriend have time for any intramural sports or a fraternity? Is he able to anything other than study? I've heard that about the pharmacy program and imagine it's the same for physician assistants.</p>
<p>ButlerBrad....My son got his True Blue visit info today. Thanks. I like the flexibility of the dates. Another school only has 2 days to choose from.</p>
