Future for the class of 2006

[Airman]

Airman is finally a high school senior, and he can't wait to graduate and get the hell out of New England (assuming, of course, he is accepted somewhere far away). His list of colleges includes:

University of California - Irvine
University of California - Santa Barbara
University of Maine - Orono
University of Massachusetts - Amherst
University of Oregon
University of Washington

Irvine is the top choice, probably hardest to get into as well. I may apply to one more, perhaps University of Arizona.

So, other seniors, what will you be doing this time next year? College? A year off for work/travel/getting blazed? Signing your death warrant and joining the amry? Inquiring Airmans wanna know.

[Two-twenty]

Same thing I'm doing now.

On uni holidays, regretting the lack of effort I put into the previous two semesters. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Twotwenty/crying.gif

Edit: Oh snap! Seniors. Oh well, it still applies because that is what I thought I would be doing when I was one.

[Mana]

Hey! It's not only HS seniors that can go to college D:

I may be in college this time next year, or in Japan with teh Roark, or lying dead in a ditch somewhere...

Though, I am looking into going back to college for some classes, probably starting either this summer or next fall semester. Depends on too many issues for me to know if I am now or not, but it's teh current plan.

And the lucky college is? College of Dreams, er, College of DuPage, a community college in Naperville. They don't offer BAs or anything, but that's not what I'm after at this point in time. It's a good, cheap school where I can take some basic classes, and have some fun along the way, while also preparing for more in the future.

[Dennis]

I, Dennis, hereby declare myself crazy for applying to ten (10) schools.
Albright College
Alvernia College
Arcadia University
Cabrini College
Duquesne University
King's College
Neumann College
Saint Joseph's University
The University of Scranton
West Chester University

I have been accepted to seven, including my #1 Scranton.

[sakura_blossom]

After high school, in Fall 2006 I'm going to take courses at Montgomery County Community College and take courses in Elementary Education. After a year or so, I'm going to try and transfer from Community College over to Kutztown University and finish my education there, in order to earn my bachelor's degree.

[Mamimi]

I applied and got accepted to one college: UMASS Amherst. If I didn't get in, I would have applied to three others: Skidmore, Clark University, and UNH

PS: sakura, I'm going into Elementary Education too!

[Tyrdium]

College. Should be fun.

Accepted to: CWRU, RPI, WPI

Waiting to hear from: BU, CMU, URochester

U of A... nice school, pretty boring town. Trust me... I lived in Tucson fort2 years and was happy when I was able to move on to a different location.

[punkusa20_2001]

Since I was to laze to apply for any scholarships when I was a senior, I took my basic classes at a small college. I am gonna make sure everything is transferable and then finish a ba at a large college. It is much cheaper at a community college then at a university.

RotfL. The U is your #1? LOLZ.

Right smack in the middle of the Armpit of America. I warn you that there is nothing, NOTHING to do in Scranton. The best thing is to try and find your way out. I still have trouble with that one.

University of Pittsburgh
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Penn State University
West Chester
and another one that I forgot.

[sakura_blossom]

PS: sakura, I'm going into Elementary Education too!

Really? That's pretty cool^^ I hope you do well in the future with that choice of career. I love to work with kids ever since I worked as a Camp Counselor the other summer.

[GWS923]

Applied to:
Middlebury
Bowdoin
Yale
Brown
Colgate
Williams
Tufts
Bates
Trinity

But I just got into Middlebury, and that's where I want to go, so yay.

[Phate]

I'll be taking the Mira route, yo.

After I graduate from high school I'll be enrolling in the local community college. Not being sure what I want to do, I figured I'd save some money and transfer somewhere later when I decide what I want to study. Or something.

[Ritalin]

Community colleges all the way, yo. Don't let people downplay them D: They are so awesome.

I should be close to finishing up my sophomore year but moving required me to learn a new language before admission... gah. Now a year behind. Not like it matters with college though.

[Neo-Hunter]

went to a Community college now i go to the Suny It to finish my Bachlors in Business Mangement they are on their way to becoming a AASCB or something like that in business and tecnology, its a very big honor for this school. I also tell you to go to R.I.T. Syracuse Universty, Hamilton College University of buffalo if you came to upstate NY.

[Airman]

U of A... nice school, pretty boring town. Trust me... I lived in Tucson fort2 years and was happy when I was able to move on to a different location.

Eh, I have heard mixed things about Tucson. My sister lives there and likes it a lot though.

I have officially sent in all my stuff now (applications, supporting documents, fees), and I should be hearing from places in a few months. I should have done early action to cut down waiting ;-;.

If you care to know, Scranton has a very good ROTC and Criminal Justice program, the fields that I will pursue. I took my tour of Scranton and personally liked the town.

Nice. Do you have an idea of which ROTC program you'll pursue? (Army ROTC, Air Force, Naval)

[Naota]

2006 holds something I didn't actually plan for. I thought I'd be starting my full time Navy career, after being a reserve for the last year. However, much to my dismay, thanks to the fantastic people in ADF Recruiting, I'll have to wait even longer. So having to wait again, I tried applying back at my University where I had deferred a Bachelors of Film and Television, but alas I was too late to sign up for this year. So they told me to do a course at their TAFE (Aussie Community College equivalent), of which I chose to do an Advanced Diploma of Public Relations since it'll help me with the community work I do. My theory was that either the Navy would get back to me on my full-time application some time in the year, or I'd go into my film course mid-year and just stay a general reserve in the Navy.

However, the University surprised the shit out of me by offering a deal whereas if I decide to finish the entire Advanced Diploma of PR, then they'd allow me to enter a Bachelors of Business Marketing with an advanced standing. It's an opportunity too good to pass up, so I've accepted it. On top of that, the Navy has stated that they'd contribute to the costs of the Advanced Diploma of PR since they're in dire need of PR Officers (a position only available to reservists) on the proviso that I become one when I finish the Diploma portion of the course. I'm so friggen stoked about the whole deal and I figure I can always do a Graduate Diploma in Film and Television after I finish the AdvDipPR and the BBus. Which, all up, the three courses will take me 5 years to complete.

* Naota does a happy dance. :icon_danc

[Dennis]

Nice. Do you have an idea of which ROTC program you'll pursue? (Army ROTC, Air Force, Naval)
Army, hopefully becoming an MP.

[Yurika Star]

This year is teaching in China.

Next year is hopefuly finishing off some studies for Uni.

After that abroard for another year or Sociological Anthropology at Manchester! Hurrah.

[Airman]

2 down, 4 to go. Oregon and Maine want to be in the Airman business. Yay.

[shizukuchan]

Community colleges all the way, yo. Don't let people downplay them D: They are so awesome.I agree wholeheartedly. I took lots of classes at a couple of community colleges, and the teachers there cared even less whether I showed up for class than they did in the regular four-year schools I went to. It was great!

At one community college, the time I spent in class was about half of what I spent zapping aliens at the campus arcade or sitting in the rec lounge waiting to watch the sun set. The school was high on a hill, and they had a really nice view of San Francisco across the bay. The campus itself had a field of broken rocks next to the library. I thought the rocks were pretty cool, no kidding (and no, I wasn't under the influence of anything).
oh crap...did i just spam yet another thread...?

[Dennis]

I just sent my deposit to the University of Scranton. Scranton '10, go Royals!

[Airman]

I decided on Oregon, sent in my deposit a couple weeks ago. Now I need to send them more money for housing and fill out a health history form.

Ducks eff tee dubya!

Edit: Going in as an English major, and I may do a concentration in creative writing. They also have a film certificate associated with the English program that could be fun to go for.

[Tamanegi Sensei]

Hmm... this is a tough one.

Either start anew at San Jose City and work on Liberal Arts and Business Managment, go back to Mission College to work on my GED even though I got my diploma, or go to San Jose State and spend 1000 bucks for a 1 unit. The temptation is overwhelming.

[Akuhei]

I'm going to UMBC (U Maryland Blatimore County), easy-access to Otakon =O (no that's not the reason I'm going there... I actually just realized this when i saw the otakon thread).

[sakura_blossom]

I just sent my deposit to the University of Scranton. Scranton '10, go Royals!

Good Luck! A friend of mine is going to be attending University of Scranton also, I hear it's a good school.

Well for me, I took my placement tests for the courses I'm taking at Montgomery County Community College. If I didn't mention, I'm planning to transfer to Kutztown University after a year or two of community college.

[I_am_I]

Had I stayed in high school, I would be a senior now. I went to this "early college" deal instead, and it seems to have worked out pretty well, because my transfer options are hella fantastic. I applied to Smith, Barnard, Bard, New College of Florida, Notre Dame, Brown, Swarthmore, Dartmouth, and one or two others whose names currently escape me. So far I've gotten acceptances from Smith, Bard, and New College. I was rejected by Brown. Waiting to see what other colleges will accept me before I decide where I wanna go.

Life's being pretty sweet in 2006.

[Ghostmaster]

I'm going to Syracuse. I don't what else to say, so yeah thats it.

[AqueousMessage]

I just sent my check to the University of New Hampshire. :throws confetti:

[kyubichan]

Yay to you high school graduates! ^^ College is hard and crazy (if you take it seriously), but don't slack off. And remember to come by AA once in a while.

[Sage Brushfire]

a little late jumping in but i'll be graduating on or about June 25 in a couple of months and have allready sent my check off to R.I.T. (Rochester Institute of Technology) where i will be in their ANSA program (Applied Netowrking and Systems Administration)

and i wish all of you who are also graduating this year from what ever educational institute you are graduating from good luck and well wishes

[Tyrdium]

It's official: I'm going to Case Western Reserve University. Woo!

You lucky duck. RIT is my first choice right now (I'm class of '07; I'm going to apply for the school of Film and Animation, though). I saw it over my spring break and I absolutely loved it.

[UZ_white]

Boy, there's a lot of people going to school in the New England area!

(I'm planning on a New York school myself, actually; Syracuse. Next year.)

[Yurika Star]

May not be hitting Uni any more.

I'm concidering opening up a Youth Hostel in Zhong Wei, Ningxia Province in China.

Go off the cuff buisness ideas.

[AioshiNYI88]

I'll be attending SUNY Old Westbury on Long Island. It's a beautiful campus. I actually am going to a dinner/orientation there tomorrow night. I might be transfering after one or two years.

[Psiknight]

Nice. Do you have an idea of which ROTC program you'll pursue? (Army ROTC, Air Force, Naval)

Who goes to Scranton over PSU? :_insane:

Swarthmore and Darmouth are pretty tough to transfer into, even from Simon's Rock (presuming that's where you went instead of High School). I did/do a lot of college admissions counseling, so I know how tough the top level admissions can be. :(

A little heads up cause i also applied for film and animation but got put on the waiting list, the class only accepts 46 freshman students and the was 500+ applicants who submitted for acceptence (i actually think it might have been higher but it was definately at least 3 times the amount of students the accept) so just keep your eye open for other schools with animation programs, meanwhile good luck with your last year of highschool and luck with filling out those college applications

Crap, really? What were your SAT scores? GPA?

(sorry if that sounds a little impersonal)

[Dennis]

Who goes to Scranton over PSU? :_insane:
A person who values the Jesuit educational philosophy and methods.

[LadySage]

It's official: I'm going to Case Western Reserve University. Woo!

You're not going to UR? I disown you.

For the folks going to RIT, drop me a line sometime. I'm going to be a sophomore at U of R. ^^

[Tyrdium]

You're not going to UR? I disown you.Yeah, well, Case's engineering department owns me now. :D

(Honestly, though, it was a very hard decision. In the end I decided that UR's mech engineering department of 25ish people per graduating class was too small for my tastes.)
