College Admissions

[BlisteryNixon]

Well I am attending a small 2 year school right now. And I want to apply to Baylor University this Fall but I am not sure if I will make it.

I will have an estimated GPA of 3.0-3.1+. My GED scores put me in the top 3% nationally. My PSAT were 97th percentile math, 82nd writing, and I am taking the SAT later this month with a projected score of 1190 min to 1450 max MV. Also I took the SAT in the 7th grade during the Duke TIP (talent search), and out of those students nationally in the 99th percentile on the Iowa Test, I was ranked approximately in the top 10% of the top 1% of all 7th graders in math. My verbal score is not worth speaking of.

Practically no extracurriculars to speak of in high school which doesn't count for a whole lot anyway.

So now anyone familiar with this having gone to college or otherwise knowledgeable on the subject, is this sufficient for admission, and what could be done to improve my application, that is, does it need improvement?

[BridgeToSolace]

idk, I would post on internet forums.

[BlisteryNixon]

No. Instead you can just reply to my initial post.

[BlisteryNixon]

Well i dunno i mean you have all these good marks then posted a thread about getting into collage on a music forum

Yeah a serious discussion forum. I thought someone here would know.

[StreetlightRock]

jsut dont mention it on your admission

[Aaron]

Study + no internet = good grades.

[Give me Beer]

I <3 living in a country where you just enroll, and don't have to worry about 'admissions'.

...and where the tuition fee is about 600€. :cool:

High school is pretty irrelevant once you are in college, as far as transferring goes. I'm not sure how competitive a school Baylor is, but I've seen people essentially fail out of my school only to transfer to Ohio State, which is a very selective school if you try to go from high school.

A 3.0 in college and the ability to afford it will get you into pretty much any other college, excluding Ivy Leagues and school like Duke and all that.

You don't say....


What are Baylor's general statistics they show for transfer students? I'd say that's more important.

[BlisteryNixon]

You don't say....

SAT Verbal
25th percentile = 540
75th percentile = 650

SAT Math
25th percentile = 560
75th percentile = 650

I can meet verbal averages easy, math I can score better by a good margin.

They currently and to my knowledge have never released average GPAs.

i dont think a university is going to look at your results from something in grade 7 and pick you based on that

[BlisteryNixon]

And that is a great point. Now what would you recommend I prepare? ACT/SAT scores, PSATs, GED, GPA, transcripts, what else?

[GnRguitarist]

I would recommend joining the army.

my friend goes to baylor and he says its pretty boring

but he also says its really easy to get into and the schoolwork there is even easier.

**** yes! That's what I've heard too apparently they make everyone think it's like some badass school because it's like 30k a year but it's really not all that great.

Do you know if it's a good school for math majors?

And considering Harvard is only like several thousand more and they're not even comparable to each other.

[hellohelicopter]

Man the American education system seems pretty complicated XD

I'm going through the same thing man, Uni apps 'n' all that. Got pure rejected from Oxford, but oh well, they're competitive to the extreme- going to go to Durham instead like the stereotypical Oxford reject :)

All I can say is (bearing in mind I don't know how the app process works over there...) just fill out your application with as many bells and whistles as possible, and if you want to apply there, then apply, your scores look good enough, so why not?

[HNLzero]

doin it wrong

[Permanent Solution]

Test scores<extra curriculars tbh

Colleges have their general threshold and once you meet that they look at the rest of the package because who the hell wants people who only do SATs at their school?

Studying it in britain costs half of what my parents car does.

And what do american docs get for the extra expense? They get sued.

Grats guys, your country is a meritocratic masterpiece.

but what is the percentage of women who would date an autistic ****tard

[siva_chair]

but what is the percentage of women who would date an autistic ****tard

Only ones that have many parallel traits with Helen Keller, I suspect.

[Der Übermensch]

It's Texas, so abnormally high I would suspect...

[The Stig]

Eh; I can't talk about that seeing as how I live in Georgia. But if I don't get into UGA's Law program, I'll probably end up in New York next year.

[siva_chair]

What kind of law are you going to study/go into?

[The Stig]

I'm interested in constitutional law, but I will probably wind up studying whatever will make me money in the end.

[siva_chair]

Cool.

Have you ever read Bastiat's The Law?

[Rams]

Transferring to a school or applying for graduate programs are always easier to get in than undergrad. As long as you don't have any outstanding warrants you'll get in fine.

[The Stig]

Cool.

Have you ever read Bastiat's The Law?

No. Recommended?

[griftadan]

why would you want to go to baylor that place sucks and it's expensive

[punkprince123]

Have you ever read John Grisham's Law Bastard

[The Stig]

Nah, but I've read The Street Lawyer, The Firm, The King of Torts, The Partner, The Broker, and The Summons.

[punkprince123]

You should read Danny Francis's Big Law for Little People

[Against Miik!]

I have to take a constitutional law class or two before I graduate and I'm kinda nervous for them. They are taught by my adviser though so maybe it will be ok.

[BlisteryNixon]

but what is the percentage of women who would date an autistic ****tard

They wont have a choice. If they ever want to be with anyone, talk about being in one school for 4 years, and expecting to be married with kids by the time you finish grad school. The way I see it 18% of those lassies are just going to have to stay single but there is a perfect representation, for every one man there is definitely a woman, even a surplus. So I have my pick now.

why would you want to go to baylor that place sucks and it's expensive

It has always been a dream of mine.

[:amaze:]

If they ever want to be with anyone, talk about being in one school for 4 years, and expecting to be married with kids by the time you finish grad school.

I doubt more than 80% of them are expecting to be married with kids by the time they graduate.

[Permanent Solution]

80% would be awfully high I think.

I don't know many girls who want to have children before they even graduate.

[BlisteryNixon]

I doubt more than 80% of them are expecting to be married with kids by the time they graduate.

That is the whole point of women going to grad school. To find someone.

[BlisteryNixon]

80% would be awfully high I think.

I don't know many girls who want to have children before they even graduate.

Remember I'm from Texas? Third highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation?

[:amaze:]

Remember I'm from Texas? Third highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation?

Grad school girls aren't teens. they're typically the ones who DON'T get pregnant as teens.

[BlisteryNixon]

Grad school girls aren't teens. they're typically the ones who DON'T get pregnant as teens.

Yeah but women almost never finish grad school. They're only there to find a husband.

[Iskandar]

Stop being sexist. Lots of women finish grad school and lots of men don't.

[Jude]

haahaahhahahahahahaaha

Dropper, taking him seriously just brings you down to his level dude

[BlisteryNixon]

Stop being sexist. Lots of women finish grad school and lots of men don't.

Look it's just a rumor I've heard. And I think someone on MX said it. Women who don't find a mate before, typically go into grad school with the intention of finding a partner and dropping out. But generally they're looking for someone who is going to land a good job after graduation and make lots of money so she will be in a stable relationship. Call it gold digging if you want, but a lot of guys in grad school don't have a choice.

[Iskandar]

Who is Dropper? I am Iskandar. I've always been Iskandar.

[BlisteryNixon]

Who is Dropper? I am Iskandar. I've always been Iskandar.

I am taking the LSAT and MCAT after I finish an undergraduate degree in mathematics. LSAT, in my hours of reading over practice tests and personal accounts of people having taken it, I have discovered that the test is actually very easy. I am projecting a 152 conservative - 165 if i'm lucky.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while from you.

[Iskandar]

Okay, why are you telling me this?

[BlisteryNixon]

This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while from you.

No that's what someone told me. I don't know if it's true or not. He said women like to go to grad school to marry future CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.

[BlisteryNixon]

Okay, why are you telling me this?

Because it makes me sound highly intelligent.

[Jude]

VF is pure gold ITT

[Aaron]

No that's what someone told me. I don't know if it's true or not. He said women like to go to grad school to marry future CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
I think you're getting tv confused with a person.

[BlisteryNixon]

I think you're getting tv confused with a person.

No I'm pretty sure someone from MX said that.

Or it could be a hallucination, which would kick major *** to hallucinate that

[Aaron]

You make me laff.

[BlisteryNixon]

You make me laff.

No what I mean is that if it was a hallucination it would be awesome because it's probably true. I mean I'm not saying women are stupid or anything. Just the opposite. A really smart woman knows if she doesn't ever want to work in her life, she goes to grad school and marries a future CEO.

That's what it was. Women go to business school! I remember what he said now.

[Aaron]

You do know that the 50s finished a while ago right?

[BlisteryNixon]

You do know that the 50s finished a while ago right?

Look I am from Texas. Call it what you want, backwards whatever. Most women I know don't really want to work. Maybe later in life but most value family and children and marriage more than any college degree. I don't know one woman who would give up marriage and a family for a good job. Women down here want to raise children. They want a husband who provides for them the essentials and bare necessities. It may be different up north or in Europe or somewhere but that's how it is in Texas.

[Aaron]

No, that's you justifying your sexist view.

[BlisteryNixon]

No, that's you justifying your sexist view.

It's not sexist. Women want this. They don't want to work. They recognize they're not built for manual labor and are content living on half what they typically would to raise children.

[Iskandar]

How do you know what women want? Have you met every woman?

[BlisteryNixon]

How do you know what women want? Have you met every woman?

No I'm saying largely on average. Out of the women I have met, they want a family. They don't want a 12 hour shift making **** money.

[WEARELEGIONANDWEAREMANY]

how Do You Know What Women Want? Have You Met Every Woman?

He Is Mel Gibson.

[punkprince123]

No I'm saying largely on average. Out of the women I have met, they want a family. They don't want a 12 hour shift making **** money.

None of them wanted love?

[BlisteryNixon]

None of them wanted love?

That's what family is.

[Rams]

That's what money is.

fixed it for ya

[punkprince123]

That's what family is.

Not really? You can have a family without love, you can have love without a family.

If you go out with the intention of getting the richest guy you can that sounds like a pretty surefire recipe for a loveless marriage.

[BlisteryNixon]

Not really? You can have a family without love, you can have love without a family.

If you go out with the intention of getting the richest guy you can that sounds like a pretty surefire recipe for a loveless marriage.

Yeah. But love is a delusion, that anyone can take part in.

[punkprince123]

Yeah. But love is a delusion, that anyone can take part in.

Ok well there's where we disagree. Love might just be a label, but you can't deny that you connect with some people more than others. If monetary status is all you measure by for relationships, you are essentially committing to a lottery whether you connect with your husband or not.

[BlisteryNixon]

Well I've known people who marry others for their success or money, and it typically works out in my experience.

[beastman168]

Go to UT. It's way better. And also, you can be friends with Leslie the Transvestite.

[BlisteryNixon]

Go to UT. It's way better. And also, you can be friends with Leslie the Transvestite.

Well according to US News and World Report there is a 20 point difference in rank.

But another thing I want to be closer to home.

[The Stig]

I am taking the LSAT and MCAT after I finish an undergraduate degree in mathematics. LSAT, in my hours of reading over practice tests and personal accounts of people having taken it, I have discovered that the test is actually very easy. I am projecting a 152 conservative - 165 if i'm lucky.

So you're expecting anywhere from what I guess about 55th percentile to 93rd percentile?

Great guesswork

[BlisteryNixon]

So you're expecting anywhere from what I guess about 55th percentile to 93rd percentile?

Great guesswork

Well there is such a small range of achievement on the LSAT, there is no doubt I will score higher than half but will it be marginally better or significantly better is the question.

[Aaron]

I'm going to get between 1 and 10,000.

[The Stig]

yeah you will since it's a scale of 120 to 180.

But yeah I got a 161 on eight practice tests and ended up only getting a 159 on the whole thing (78th %ile). Could have retaken it, but didn't really feel like it.

[BlisteryNixon]

How juvenile. I have no doubt I would beat your pathetic score.

[The Stig]

Okay; I don't really care. I'll either be going to one of the top public law schools pending admission status or only paying $4,025 a year for a decent school on scholarship so it doesn't matter.

[BlisteryNixon]

Okay; I don't really care. I'll either be going to one of the top public law schools pending admission status or only paying $4,025 a year for a decent school on scholarship so it doesn't matter.

Top public law schools? You mean they allow cretins with pathetic scores like you into a top public law school?

[The Stig]

I haven't heard back. But I have a decent shot, and I've been under review since early November, which means I haven't been rejected either.

And **** my trying to be civil towards you some.

[BlisteryNixon]

I haven't heard back. But I have a decent shot, and I've been under review since early November, which means I haven't been rejected either.

[beastman168]

Top public law schools? You mean they allow cretins with pathetic scores like you into a top public law school?

O, Mr. BigshotCommunityCollegeCoolGuy. There's a lot more than standardized tests to get into college. Why don't you get an extracurricular activity and meet someone from the outside world. I heard 50% of the people are women and like, idk, like, 25% are single.

[BlisteryNixon]

My school is not at all any indication of my intelligence. My scores are higher than the scores of the doctors on campus.

[punkprince123]

You do know no-one cares about scores?

Employers want rounded people, not personality free, score obsessed robots.

[beastman168]

If you were as smart as you say you are, then you could have gotten a scholarship and gone to a University, Underground Man.

[The Stig]

So far:

Northern Kentucky University - Accepted, scholarship letters sent in February.
Thomas Cooley (Grand Rapids, Michigan) (lol) - Accepted, 75% scholarship
LSU - Accepted, $14,000 and change scholarship
Western New England College of Law (Springfield, Massachusetts) - Accepted, $24,000 Scholarship
Hofstra - Accepted, $35,000 scholarship (First choice unless I get into UGA)

Still waiting to hear back from:

University of Tennessee
Georgia State University
University of Georgia

So far, my three I'm considering are UGA, GSU, and Hofstra. GSU is ranked near Hofstra, but I won't likely get money at GSU.

I won't get money if I'm accepted to UGA, but it's a good enough school I'm not going to worry about it. Plus my family owns the place where I live here in Athens, so I won't be paying extra money for living expenses.

Hofstra is probably where I am going if I don't get into UGA since I'll only be paying about $4,025 in tuition each year. I'll be paying living expenses, but I have an uncle who lives in the city who is an assistant attorney general, meaning I may be able to get in on clerkships. In addition, they have the highest median starting salaries by far for all schools but Georgia, and they are still higher than Georgia by some (but with cost of living I think they're equivalent) AND the northeast is where I'd like to end up practicing. Problem is, if I get below a 3.25 GPA, I am suddenly paying $35,000 a year in tuition.

Current undergrad GPA is 3.40 (raised it .03 last semester, and since this is an easy semester, it should go up again) at UGA, which is just below graduating with honors. Considering how much time I waste here, it's even better.

Plus, I'm an officer in an honors fraternity, active with the adademic team, in a pre-law fraternity, and an Eagle Scout.

I'll make my final decision once I hear from everyone, but Hofstra and UGA are the two frontrunners now.




TO PASTORIUS: Actually, law schools weigh LSAT and GPA fairly heavily in their acceptance. I know it isn't everything and not related to jobs, but it can be important.

[BlisteryNixon]

If you were as smart as you say you are, then you could have gotten a scholarship and gone to a University, Underground Man.

Yeah no ****. No one told me I qualified for something like 12,000-15,000 a year at Baylor based off of my test scores.

[punkprince123]

Not the full amount then?

[BlisteryNixon]

Not the full amount then?

No for the full amount you have to make like a 220 PSAT. Which is next to impossible.

[Aaron]

My school is not at all any indication of my intelligence. My scores are higher than the scores of the doctors on campus.
Doesn't change the fact that you're a dick, and you need to get on with people to work in the workforce.

[punkprince123]

No for the full amount you have to make like a 220 PSAT. Which is next to impossible.

Looks like you're not so intelligent after all

[BlisteryNixon]

Looks like you're not so intelligent after all

no it's not that, i scored in the top 2% in math, top 18% writing, but that doesn't count for much when you have a **** reading score.

[punkprince123]

Ah well, not the full article then.

Ah well, not the full article then.

I am taking my SATs in about a week. I will be sure to let all of MX know how I did.

Very impressive. Now what school did you get into with that score?

The only reason I ask is so I'll know what I'm competing with.

[horseypie]

while we're bragging about results i got 96.4 in my UAI whih is like youre scores im guessing only its scaled on what subjects we do and such, which put me in the top 5% of everyone in the state and i missed every scholarship i went for

so you thinking your marks in one area are going to walk you into a top university is a pretty silly idea

[Chu]

I got into university based on work I did with one of the professors, as I completely failed the admissions exam (well, 49 isn't a complete fail, but I wouldn't be able to get into ANU on that score, and I wasn't going to UC).

If you have some evidence of passed-work you've done (if it's in a related field obviously), try taking that to them and see if they can do anything with it.

Baylor is hardly a top university.

In fact a high SAT score combined with extracurriculars and a high GPA will qualify one for up to $30,000 a year although funds are limited.

[horseypie]

but i thought you said you have no extra curriculars or anything other than the high sat score

[BlisteryNixon]

but i thought you said you have no extra curriculars or anything other than the high sat score

Well it depends on the universities that convert GED to national class rank, which at this point probably won't matter a whole lot since I already have started college.

[siva_chair]

Very impressive. Now what school did you get into with that score?

The only reason I ask is so I'll know what I'm competing with.

Well you won't be "competing" with me so I don't see how this is relevant. What school I chose to go to and what all schools I got accepted to are two different things.

[BlisteryNixon]

I got a UAI of 54.4, now I'm on $68k a year and am studying an economics degree that my employer is paying for. lol.

Well you can always make some pancakes for your inlaws. Ha like you'd ever get married.

[HNLzero]

lol nice troll

[The Stig]

Wow. I actually got decently burned by vf. Not gonna lie.

Thing is once I get a job with a decent firm, I can probably find a money-grubbing whore who'd marry me. And being an attorney, I'd set up a foolproof pre-nup agreement in case she gets bored with me or when I find her cheating on me.

Even your lawyerly skills won't get her to sign it.

Oh and you don't have to be sarcastic. It was just a little joke between friends.

[The Stig]

Then she's s.o.l.

[Aaron]

I'm not covering anything. I made the joke initially. You sir do not understand what we're talking about.

[BlisteryNixon]

He said "would you like to have a pissing match?" And you said "Sure, let's cross our swords! :naughty:"

There's no doubt in my mind now that you are gay.

[Chu]

Don't be an idiot VF.

[Aaron]

Congratulations.

Way to fail at understanding that colloquialisms are different in other countries.

You said you wanted to touch his sword. I'm hearing you loud and clear Aaron. Your secret is safe with me. :)

Don't be an idiot VF.

I'm actually being very smart. It is something that not doing proves very difficult most of the time.

[Aaron]

You're mindnumbingly stupid.

[BlisteryNixon]

You're mindnumbingly stupid.

Look that's fine if you want to judge me for being a straight, white male. I don't have anything against you or any other gays for that matter.

We still cool dog.

[Iskandar]

No ... a Yankee is someone from the northern states of America.

[BlisteryNixon]

No. A Yankee is anyone from the north and anyone who talks like a nancy.

[Iskandar]

He's an Australian, ie. not from America at all. Therefore he can't be a Yankee.
