NordicMindset
10.06.17 | I've made so many ED jokes the last month that I've lost count |
bgillesp
10.06.17 | The campus is very pretty. It was a little too big for my taste (I go to a very small school) but you can't go wrong with them. Good luck! |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
10.06.17 | Aren't you like 15? I didn't apply to college until after I turned 18 so yay me. |
TVC15

MrSirLordGentleman

GhostOfSarcasticBtrd

BMDrummer

SteakByrnes
10.06.17 | It's even more of a bitch if you transfer like I did |

TheSpaceMan

TheSpaceMan
10.06.17 | Try running for president |
theBoneyKing
10.06.17 | I didn't think applications were that bad tbh. Though I only submitted a few so I might have missed the worst of it. |
superluminals
10.06.17 | job interviews make me want to die |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.17 | "job interviews make me want to die"
Holy fuck, this so hard. |
theBoneyKing
10.06.17 | @MrSirLord: In the US, all undergraduate institutions are referred to as colleges. While many people use the term synonymously, a university is slightly different, being (as I understand it) an institution which contains multiple schools/colleges, usually both undergrad and graduate. But here, no one says, "I go to university", and when they say "I go to college" they are referring only to being an undergraduate. |
TheSpaceMan
10.06.17 | your mom goes to college |
Joeman82
10.06.17 | Applying for college isn't bad besides the app fees tbh |
Frippertronics
10.06.17 | financial aid is the worst part
got accepted into three different schools, but couldn't afford shit |
hasan
10.06.17 | college dorm life girls at the school haha on the page |
NordicMindset
10.06.17 | currently on the Common App rn and realizing that I missed a vital section RIP |
RogueNine
10.06.17 | Honestly don't remember the process. Probably because I only applied to two. |
TheSpaceMan
10.06.17 | college dorm life girls at the school haha on the page [2] |
TheSonomaDude
10.06.17 | have fun dude
i spent like 200 bucks of my own money on college applications and ended up going to a school my parents chose for me because they hated all the places i applied to |
TheSpaceMan
10.06.17 | your parents sound like dicks even if theyre payin' |
hal1ax
10.06.17 | lol ya applying to grad school is substantially worse
had to do two internships and 100+ hours of research to even get looked at
then (depending on the school) u have to take more entrance exams. i had to take the standard GRE and the psychology GRE lol. nightmare. |
hal1ax
10.06.17 | congrats tho bro. you got thisss baby boy |
Ryus
10.06.17 | @ghost i'm 17
thanks everyone |
Ryus
10.06.17 | "I know a few niggas from duke so if you need study motivators when you're there i'll tell you who to hit up"
ayyy thanks mate |
Nerdurosis
10.06.17 | Yeah financial aid is the worst for sure. Went through a ton of loopholes with that shit . Currently a junior |
wtferrothorn
10.06.17 | I'm in the same boat as you man, this shit's fuckin confusing. Thankfully I only have a handful of schools I want to apply to. |
BlazinBlitzer
10.06.17 | I'm trying to get my app essays done for Florida U and North Carolina U but procrastination is killing me. I already got accepted to LSU, though, so that's cool. |

10.06.17 | "aiming for duke early decision"
fellow carolinian?
duke's out of my league but im aimin for uncc or unca |
Ryus
10.06.17 | nah mane im from nyc |
emester
10.06.17 | Oh shit I remember how fucking shit this whole process was.
Even with the common app, this whole thing takes an eternity.What especially sucks cock is when you have to do those supplementary essays in addition to the common app ones.
Honestly its arguably the hardest college assignment you will have.
oh and financial aid should be the very first thing to evaluate once you get your acceptances back. I've heard of horror stories where people applied ED without reading the fine print for expenses |
TheSpaceMan
10.06.17 | "Honestly its arguably the hardest college assignment you will have."
hyperbole i hope, though 'personal essays' are fckn dumb |
DinosaurJones
10.06.17 | ...goddamn, I feel old. |
emester
10.06.17 | Im referring to the application process in general sorry for the lack of clarity |
Kompys2000
10.06.17 | "what's the difference between college and university?"
Universities are composed of multiple colleges- College of arts, college of humanities, college of applied science, etc. People tend to use the two terms interchangeably though. |
Kompys2000
10.06.17 | Good luck getting into Duke though, applications were a breeze for me because all the schools in my state are ridiculously easy to get into and I was too fuckin poor to afford out-of-state or private |
Ryus
10.06.17 | thanks bro. luckily im in a situation in which i can afford to apply to out of state/private colleges |
matbla00
10.06.17 | I am literally applying tomorrow, the deadline for oxford is coming soon :D |
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd
10.06.17 | Getting into law school was easy af if you had a high LSAT score, which I did.
They were like "We can forgive your shit GPA and total lack of any academic extracurriculars whatsoever cause GIMME DAT LSAT SCORE PLZ!!" |
Ryus
10.06.17 | also fuck the ACT/SAT |
TheWrenKing
10.06.17 | luvly jams boi, good luck ! |
Prancer
10.06.17 | lol, finding a job is a bitch |

NordicMindset
10.07.17 | SATs tomorrow even though I can't even submit it in time for Nov
gotta do better cuz frankly I was disappointed with my March score |
Ryus
10.07.17 | good luck fam
i too was disappointed w my SAT score but i took the ACT so its all good |
LoLifant
10.07.17 | being in college and not knowing where you want to actually go and be in life is worse |
NordicMindset
10.07.17 | most people in my school take the ACT and I'm surprised because I always considered it to be the more obscure one. SAT plays better to my strengths though, just gotta boost my score by like 50-60 points and write a better essay this time around |
Ryus
10.07.17 | yeah most people at my school took the SAT, i think it's still more popular than the ACT |
ShadowRemains
10.07.17 | i take the GRE in 5 days yeehaw |
Sinternet
10.07.17 | this reminds me i should really book my uni open days |
Ryus
10.08.17 | whats that
must be a british term |
matbla00
10.08.17 | I am so jealous r n since in Britain u can apply to five unis max and in the us it seems there is no limit. I will apply to Canada though as well cuz I want to have as big variety of possibilities as I can |
Ryus
10.09.17 | dangg only 5? that sucks dude |
