03.18.11 | yah that sucks
in Canada its more like
if your grades are between 65%-75% go to college
if your grades are between 76%-99% go to university
I'm going to university and I spent maybe an hour in total stressing about shit for it |
wyankeif1337
03.18.11 | my cumulative is a 3.4-ish right now (i sucked freshman year). according to my calculations if i do fucking awesome the next couple semesters (read: the ones that universities care about) i might be able to raise it to a 3.6 or (if i completely ace 1st semester senior year) a 3.7. my stupid school phased out APs so i can't use them to raise anything. fortunately i test like a beast, so i could probably get a 2300 on the SAT if i give it a couple tries. |
FromDaHood
03.18.11 | I feel you dude, except I don't stress at all. 3.6 GPA, 2060 SAT, I'm basically in senior mode right now, which will probably hurt me down the stretch but for now life is good. |

Wyankeif - Don't worry about it so much, really. In my opinion, it's not worth stressing over so much. Have a general plan and go with it, but it shouldn't keep you up at night. That's just what I think...I guess different people have different visions and priorities. |

03.18.11 | I've got a 4.3 GPA right now and made a 2100 on the SAT (1350 if you look at it the old way). I got into every college i applied to with a few scholarships.
And you know what?
I'm going to my local college. Universities are just way too damn expensive. Unless you're going to major in something abnormally specific that would require a prestigious degree or your parents are rich/lots of scholarships, there's no need to get into that much debt that quickly. I mean, if you have to pay back 60,000 in loans and you only start out making 30,000-40,000 a year, that fucks things up. Plus, with the economy the way things are now job prospects are pretty dire. |

03.19.11 | Canada:
1. Average 65-75% Apply to College, Average 76-99% Apply To University

North0House2
03.19.11 | Hey man, I'm in the same boat as you.
Except, I stopped caring awhile ago.
By the way, the SAT is way easy... Sure, I screwed myself on the math portion, but the writing section is insanely easy, don't sweat it. I dunno if that's just me though, since I suck at math but I don't have problems with writing.
But, I kinda know how you feel, I guess... I'm just gonna build my own house though, become self-sufficient and then buy the occasional item at Target with money from working a simple job. |

ButcheredChildren
03.19.11 | just apply for school in Canada, we are more leanient with acceptances but our curriculum can be really really hard |
North0House2
03.19.11 | Lol, well, that would be awesome cuz I want to move to Canada, or Iceland, or Alaska... But, the thing is, I don't know if college will do anything for me. I know myself, and I know that doing some theoretical science work, something in the medical field, engineering, etc... is not me. I need to work with my hands to be happy. Either way, I have never learned a thing from teachers, I have to teach myself what I learn, or I don't learn it. So, I don't know if college is quite the thing for me. But, I'm still young, so we'll see.
And about the whole lenient thing on their acceptances, I'm not too worried about that lol. Even though I scored lowly on the math section, I still did so well on the writing sections that I got a high score on the SAT, and I have straight A's at the moment... So, it's not that I'm worried about colleges not accepting me or whatever. |

North0House2
03.19.11 | Cuz I was a freshman. lol. I'm a skinny kid, so my friends and I wanted to see if I could fit in the locker.
I fit, but I got stuck on the way out, and then a senior came by and closed the door on me. It was one of the more retarded things I've done. |
Slum
03.19.11 | I'm interested to know how you escaped such peril |
Bitchfork
03.19.11 | Everyone I know is essentially just some druggy and the ones who are starting to move out of it told me at the beginning of the year not to fuck up my freshman year because it really fucks up your cumulative GPA and even though there are more weighted classes as you move up grades, the work is much harder, so if you don't have shit down now you will be fucked then.
But my concern is that I'm lazy as fuck and already I do all my homework in first period and do my classwork in the last ten minutes of that class, and I procrastinate a shit ton, so I'll be motivated to take really shitty senior classes. Like, I plan to take AP Bio Junior year and Trig that year too. Senior year, though, I technically would only need an english class to graduate, and if I took 2 my junior year I wouldn't even need to fret about it, but then I'd have only 3 years of science and math. Since I plan to go to school for either writing/music/art or some sort of bio studies it's a shit stick. However I really want to graduate early, even though I would go to college when I was 16, so I would be fucked completely. I don't know. Probably will do nothing my senior year anyways. :c |

03.19.11 | This black kid at our school asked to be tied up to a chair and beat because he wanted to know how his ancestors felt. So the sophomores in his class did that and wailed on him and then later blamed him for stealing the sub's glasses. |

04.18.11 | word of advice: there's too many fucking kids that struggle so so hard to overachieve on their grades and SAT's in high school to get into top tier schools and then end up failing immensely because of it. Instead, go somewhere realistic. Shoot high if you like, but not to the point that the only way to survive in college would be to study 24/7 and still get a D. Not saying this applies to you robertsona, but in general I'd advise guys to go somewhere realistic. There's some really amazing schools that offer top tier opportunities that aren't Ivy League. |
robertsona
04.18.11 | oh yeah i know i mean i'm trying to keep focused on what's more realistic (ivy leagues are reach schools for anyone obvi) and as a sophomore i haven't even really started looking at colleges
i just love columbia for whatever reason |
wyankeif1337
04.18.11 | meh, my favorite Ivy is Brown |

04.18.11 | more advice: $55k/year is a lot of fucking money for an education. I'm not saying that it isn't worth it, but there are without a doubt much cheaper options that pretty much put you at the same level in employer's eyes... just don't rule out state schools or state-funded schools. |

04.18.11 | Employers rarely care where you got the degree from as long as you have it |
SeaAnemone
04.18.11 | well that's an untrue generalization |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | "Employers rarely care where you got the degree from as long as you have it"
I mean, not exactly. A bio-engineer from Cornell with a 3.6 is going to be considered by employers before a bio-engineer with a 3.6 at Ohio State University... but at the same time, pursue a relevant major at any school and do well in it and you will be a hot commodity to employers, period.
Go somewhere that you know you will enjoy being, that you're proud to be a student at, that's a good distance from home, and that has a good price. Follow those four points and you'll do just fine with school/life. |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | That's provided that you have experience, of course |
SeaAnemone
04.18.11 | ok, out of college though (from what I know a.k.a. not all that much) it makes a fairly big difference where you got your degree from
maybe I'm biased because I'm paying an insane amount in tuition for my school, but (and it depends on the profession obviously) that's basically the case |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | it's always a good idea to try to get an internship in your field during college, even if it isn't paid, because most employers want someone who has knowledge outside of a classroom |
twlight
04.18.11 | dude don't stress out so much.
I wasn't thinking too much about college my junior year, but really started stressing out senior year.
You sound like pretty intelligent person, especially if you are already this focused on getting into a good college.
All you need to do is just keep your grades up and don't worry about it too much. |
SeaAnemone
04.18.11 | people who worry too much about it are probably doing it wrong... my sister is a junior now and is freaking out. she just visited William & Mary and Franklin & Marshall and Williams and she's all stressed and I can just be like I'm already in college bitch haha. |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | alright SeaEric I'm gonna end this once and for all.
College is important for three things and three things only:
1.) GETTING ALL SORTS OF FUCKED UP URRRDAY
2.) GETTING ALL SORTS OF SEXUAL PLEASURE FROM ALL SORTS OF UNPROTECTED PARTNERS
3.) SKIPPING CLASS TO RAISE YOUR SPUTNIK COMMENT COUNT
end of discussion. |
SeaAnemone
04.18.11 | lol the only one of those I really partake in is 1
trying to keep my class-skipping to one class or less per week, trying to get a 4.0 this semester to bring up my 3.0 cum |
Slum
04.18.11 | been consistently shitting my pants about college for some time now, life is scary guys hold me |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | haha yeah I feel you.
Fortunately I've done really well grade-wise so far with a pretty challenging major and I still manage to have an awesome time. Plus my sput-comment count is looking shinier than ever. |
SeaAnemone
04.18.11 | yeah I get have a job at the radio station that pays me to listen to music/review/waste time on sputnik so that's nice haha.
fucking finals in 2 weeks though and this cool, calm demeanor goes down the drain lol. whether it's studying or getting wasted, it's necessary for finals week to be given 110%. and yeah I got a pretty sweet internship lined up this summer so I'm pumped for that. |

04.18.11 | "my sput-comment count is looking shinier than ever."
it's impossible for that statement to be incorrect , ever
provided you don't get anned and make a new account |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | well the reason it's so shiny is because I am not banned nor have I made any new accounts, so thanks for answering your own query. |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | when did i ask anyone anything |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | when you asked if you asked anyone anything |
tkxxx7
04.18.11 | i didn't ask "if" |
iFghtffyrdmns
04.18.11 | that's very true. |

04.19.11 | alex i almost went to columbia (it was a choice between there, northwestern and USC), and i must say i am fucking stoked i ended up at USC. great environment, perfect for what i want to do (music law, L.A. is the hub), plus i got a half scholarship and would have had to pay full at either northwestern or columbia. fuck that |

COME TO UBC IT RULLLLLLLLLESSSSSSS. |
Aids
04.19.11 | my high school GPA was 4.0 but that means literally nothing in my school district. The curriculum is
written by racist monkeys, I swear to god. I didn't take the sats (Canadain) but we had (at that
time, don't anymore) standardized Grade 12 testing WHICH I FUCKING SLAUGHTERED YEEEEEEUH. Got 100% on
my Math provincial. Now look at me, *sigh* |
wyankeif1337
04.19.11 | yeah, i really like UBC. from an insider: do you know how the earth sciences are? |
iarescientists
04.19.11 | college isn't hard bros |
robertsona
04.19.11 | good post |
Aids
04.19.11 | UBC has a really good earth sciences program from what I can tell. All the geology/earth science/whatever majors in that place are fucking geniuses. I mean, that shit bores me to death when they talk to me about it, but they sure sound smart. |

04.19.11 | i have a 3.76 GPA |

04.19.11 | sats are mad easy. you don't need to study, just don't stress and you'll do fine. |
iarescientists
04.19.11 | math is easy, it's all stuff i learned in 8th grade
reading comprehension is pretty easy too
i fucked up the writing (520/800) but i'm a shitty writer so |
robertsona
04.19.11 | so glad the SATs havent banned ti-89s

Aids
04.19.11 | the ti-89 is like, God's penis or something. It's just so, so good. Don't know an answer? Don't worry, the ti-89 will do the work for you! |

04.19.11 | Wtf. Why do you guys have such high ass GPAs. Thought you all were dumb as shit.
Kidding. I want to go to a school outside of my state but that means I have to pay for dorm + classes, and most of the types of schools I want to go to are where I live anyways. |
