Well I've sent in all applications for university next year and I've started getting acceptance. Just got accepted to DePaul University with a $38,000 academic scholarship (4 years) so I'm feeling pretty good!
Who would have thought I'd go to Uni? :laugh4:
Where are other .Org members attending for Uni these days?
Fight, Raiders, Fight! Fight, Raiders, Fight!
Fight for the school we love so dearly.
We'll hit'em high, we'll hit'em low.
We'll push the ball across the goal,
Tech, Fight! Fight!
We'll praise your name, boost you to fame.
Fight for the Scarlet and Black
We will hit'em, we will wreck'em.
Hit'em! Wreck'em, Texas Tech!
And the Victory Bells will ring out.
My UNI is the ultimate pun.
EDIT: Congrats on the Depaul thing. Depaul was on my top three list when I was deciding, but, alas, I did not get the scholarships I needed to justify the expense in comparison to my current school.
Nice. Uni's a lot of fun. :2thumbsup:
Congratulations, Alexanderofmacedon! I hope you enjoy DePaul. ~:cheers:
Heh. :beam: How are things down in Cedar Falls, anyway?Quote:

Congratulations on the scholarship! Is that for all your expenses, or just university related ?
Well I haven't made up my mind 100%, but if I decide to attend DePaul, that money would be strictly tuition costs. Other expenses will be considerably more...
...US Uni system is a lot different. :dizzy2:
Hmmm.....how did you get news of acceptance so fast?
The early decision/action deadlines were just last week and you won't even be able to get those decisions till mid December
In terms of the University aspect- I couldn't be happier with my choice.Quote:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I have no idea. I sent mine in at least a month ago. I think DePaul does rolling acceptance (as opposed to waiting until a certain date to look over applications like some bigger public schools do). I was pretty early with mine, so that might have helped.Quote:

Hey, it could be worse. It could be Decorah. (And I would know.) ~;pQuote:

I'm honestly blanking out now. :confused: I attended Luther College for a year (hence my reference to Decorah), during which I was also a member of Norsemen, the school's freshmen men's choir.
Anyway, I thought it was a nice enough town at the time. We're talking at least a good 10 years ago, though, so I may be recalling the place through the metaphorical rose-tinted lenses. ~;)
Well, its going to be nicer in about 2 years when they finish road work on the main roads. UNI is rife with horror stories about people losing hubcaps, license plates, side mirrors, even a whole wheel on occasion whilst traversing University avenue, due to the preponderance of potholes which would make a Manhattanite blush. :sweatdrop:Quote:

Okay, actually, I'm not quite giving total due credit. We DO have the singe best sports bar in the entire Universe, Becks. Best burgers EVER. And if there's one thing we Iowans know how to do, its make a burger.
Right now i'm im the baptism before University, aka the International Baccalaureate (IB) and I calculated that if everything goes well I should be able to get between 41 and 43 points. I know it's very optimistic, but it's my points to lose right now, as I have 3 subjects in which I can get 7 without a doubt. The single question mark is Math, as it goes around 5-6.
That means I might go to Oxbridge (Oxford or Cambridge) for Medieval History.
Anyone here who went/goes to one of these?
It's okay. I understand -- truly, I do. ~;)Quote:

Congrats M8! :egypt:
I'm looking at Devry Unverisity and CMU and Art Intisutie Of Pittsburgh For Game Design :clown:
No, just wierd since Yale Early Action only tells you its decision December 15th.....Quote:

I've been accepted by UW-Stevens Point and UW-La Crosse. UW-Madison has informed me that they are delaying their final descision on my application until March. Until then I can send in my semester grades(required), new ACT scores(I probably won't retake it), and recommendation letters(They really like recommendation letters). About 40% of delayed descision applications end up getting accepted. I think I'll be fine if I get good reccomendation letters.
I'm in my last semester at the University of Hawaii at Manoa studying European history. Started out as a computer science major but found out I was not good at programming so switched to my 'love' though I now think I should have gone into business or electrical engineering.

Next year, I'm gonna do European Studies at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands.
I still have to sign up though, but that shouldn't be a problem :beam:
Thanks for the info. I hope you get an offer, perhaps in 2-3 years we can meet on the Oxford/Cambridge campus if you get accepted and I get accepted too. ~:)Quote:

I applied.
I applied for the UTN (National Technical University).
And I'm lucky considering that I have to pay the admitting course and nothing more. That costed me 200 pesos, something like 66 dollars. The UTN is the most important University of engineers in the country. I'm currently going to the admitting course which is nivelatory once per 15 days, and the travel is damn worth.
In conclusion, I go to University, spend half day out home and if everything goes ok with HS (you can't enter Uni unless you failed some subject and didn't take the exam in december or march) I will be entering University in March next year.
I will be alone. Freedom not wanted, but got it.
