All hot girls are rich. At USC they are just jewish.ntxduck said:creepycoug said:
Yes, I did. SC's numbers, though, are always SUPER misleading, but for very different reasons than Cal. SC plays with their numbers and is a well-known rankings whore. I won't get into here because NOGAF, but one of the big secrets at SC is Spring admission. UW does this too, where they'll admit people with lower numbers. You just take 3 mos. off. But SC does it dramatically, so that their official numbers, based only on Fall admits, are light years higher than the actual cross-section. This costs them money, but they have it and they view it as investment in the schools "brand", which they've been trying to change forever from "university of spoiled children" who couldn't get into UCLA. SC is solid; don't get me wrong. But it's not nearly as hard to get into as it appears to be, and probably not that much harder than Washington. Washington is probably better across the board for grad school, though SC has some top programs here and there.ntxduck said:
Agreed, I think you forgot USC though--they'd be in there above UW, below Cal, on par with UCLA.creepycoug said:
Eh, Oregon gets a tuffer wrap than they deserve. There are good things happening down there. Knight is building them a science campus and their science facilities are not bad as they are.

In terms of academic experience and what you can get out of it, Oregon would be the same as all but a handful of schools in the Pac 12. In terms of quality of student body, Stanford is by itself w/ nobody close. Berkeley isn't even close to them (or Pomona btw) and their numbers are deceiving for reasons I won't get into here.

Stanford, then some space, then Cal and UCLA and then less space, UW, and then everybody else is a fair cut at it. I'd probably send a kid to Oregon b4 a lot of schools out there, and overall the Pac has a good collection of institutions. And their campus is fairly nice and, I'm biased, but I like the NW.
Rather go to USC or UT, both way better schools, where the girls are just as hot as at ASU and you don't have to wear a rubber because they're rich AF and somewhat classy.Pitchfork51 said:its like revenge of the nerds around here.
I went to asu because I wanted to get pussy. And got paid to do it.
If you to a school for undergrad that is slightly bigger than your high school you are a massive faggot.
And undergrad is stupid anyway. Go to a good grad school.
I got nothing against UT or SC. Both good choices.
Of course just mainly don't take out 100k of loans like a fucking asshole.

Schools on the same rank = academically interchangeable, saving for some particular focus. For example, you'd go to UW for CS or engineering over any of those schools.
People will freak, but you'll get a higher quality undergrad education at Santa Clara than at the big schools. The bigs, like UW, get a lot of their rep. on shit that will have nothing to do with you or your undergraduate peers. Classes are Yuge first two years, at least. Axe me how I know. UW's real strength is in graduate school.
If you're looking at Santa Clara, you should consider other high-level small private colleges. Whitman is better, and harder to get into, than any school on your list. It's in the middle of fucking nowhere, the chicks aren't going to be hot and they're too fucking smart for their own good. But you'd get top drawer instruction and your classmates would make you smarter. There are less nerdy/goofy Whitmans out there, particularly back east, so you don't have to be limited.
Axe AZDuck. He went to Pomona. That's what you do if you can get in. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone to Whitman or its equivalent and saved UW for graduate school. -

I went to asu because I wanted to get pussy. And got paid to do it.
If you to a school for undergrad that is slightly bigger than your high school you are a massive faggot.
And undergrad is stupid anyway. Go to a good grad school.
I got nothing against UT or SC. Both good choices.
Of course just mainly don't take out 100k of loans like a fucking asshole.
I'm mainly making a point that one only needs wear a rubber with ugly chicks.
Or no chicks.

Schools on the same rank = academically interchangeable, saving for some particular focus. For example, you'd go to UW for CS or engineering over any of those schools.
People will freak, but you'll get a higher quality undergrad education at Santa Clara than at the big schools. The bigs, like UW, get a lot of their rep. on shit that will have nothing to do with you or your undergraduate peers. Classes are Yuge first two years, at least. Axe me how I know. UW's real strength is in graduate school.
If you're looking at Santa Clara, you should consider other high-level small private colleges. Whitman is better, and harder to get into, than any school on your list. It's in the middle of fucking nowhere, the chicks aren't going to be hot and they're too fucking smart for their own good. But you'd get top drawer instruction and your classmates would make you smarter. There are less nerdy/goofy Whitmans out there, particularly back east, so you don't have to be limited.
Axe AZDuck. He went to Pomona. That's what you do if you can get in. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone to Whitman or its equivalent and saved UW for graduate school.
SC would like your test score and might Spring admit you. Texas is basically reserved for the Texas residents in the top 10% of their class (regardless of course rigor) and everyone else needs to be a lot better. They have all the money they need.
UW on the other hand still likes OOS kids who are full-pay. -

Michigan? Unless you live there, the problem, again, is that they'll focus on HS GPA and class rank. They don't care how you get it; they just want that in their stats because it's the only way they can compete with the top private schools in the ranking. THey'll never have the test score numbers because they have to admit too many people on "other" factors. I'm telling you; you need to talk to a pro. I hired one for each of my kids. You might not be able to get into Michigan or Texas, but you might get into a better school. Rice, for example, will pay attention to that test score. You may not get in, but someone will read your app. Texas, which is not as selective as Rice, will move your app to a different pile for OOS + not in the top 10% of his/her class and in that pile you'll need more help.backthepack said:

Schools on the same rank = academically interchangeable, saving for some particular focus. For example, you'd go to UW for CS or engineering over any of those schools.
People will freak, but you'll get a higher quality undergrad education at Santa Clara than at the big schools. The bigs, like UW, get a lot of their rep. on shit that will have nothing to do with you or your undergraduate peers. Classes are Yuge first two years, at least. Axe me how I know. UW's real strength is in graduate school.
If you're looking at Santa Clara, you should consider other high-level small private colleges. Whitman is better, and harder to get into, than any school on your list. It's in the middle of fucking nowhere, the chicks aren't going to be hot and they're too fucking smart for their own good. But you'd get top drawer instruction and your classmates would make you smarter. There are less nerdy/goofy Whitmans out there, particularly back east, so you don't have to be limited.
Axe AZDuck. He went to Pomona. That's what you do if you can get in. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone to Whitman or its equivalent and saved UW for graduate school.
SC would like your test score and might Spring admit you. Texas is basically reserved for the Texas residents in the top 10% of their class (regardless of course rigor) and everyone else needs to be a lot better. They have all the money they need.
UW on the other hand still likes OOS kids who are full-pay.

But you'd get top drawer instruction and your classmates would make you smarter. There are less nerdy/goofy Whitmans out there, particularly back east, so you don't have to be limited.
Axe AZDuck. He went to Pomona. That's what you do if you can get in. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone to Whitman or its equivalent and saved UW for graduate school.
SC would like your test score and might Spring admit you. Texas is basically reserved for the Texas residents in the top 10% of their class (regardless of course rigor) and everyone else needs to be a lot better. They have all the money they need.
UW on the other hand still likes OOS kids who are full-pay.

THere are people who really know all this shit, and none of them is on this bored. Don't just throw darts. Use that score. They're not easy to come by. -

Well, my parting advice on this is, the application fee may seem like a lot, but relative to what you're doing it's not.
Take a flyer on Whitman. It's a really good school. -

Eh, yeah. A lot of the really good LACs are in bum fuck places. Middelbury isn't exactly metropolitan. Ever been to Hanover?
Whitman will set you up well for graduate school. Those kids do well and they have a very strong alumni network in Seattle. -
