Congratulations, and good luck. Perhaps this good Univeristy's English department will not bother too much about spelling :) . -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

Congrats! 'Tis always good to get what you want out of the nightmarish college application process. Personally, I would hope that they don't see the topic title here... just like I'd hate for my university to really look at my posts. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Stop reading things into what he said. Evidently Nik was just so excited that he got a hot flush and had to apply a damp cloth to his face to cool down, and that's what he meant by wetting himself. Honestly, you people have such dirty minds. [ Monday, February 13, 2006 12:22: Message edited by: Ash Lael ] -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

"Wetting Yourself" should be the new name of the General Forum.

The Univeristy in question is Nottingham. It's ranked witin the top 7 or 8 in the country for my particular course. Originally written by Aran: quote:Very sure! Wetting myself can mean one of three things right now. Two of which aren't exactly the kinda thing one would talk about in polite conversation. The third - Ash got it... Originally written by Student Of Trinity: quote:I'm not sure exactly what you mean :P My spelling isn't that bad is it? (I was going to say "atrocious", but I may have spelled it wrong...) In fact, it's my typing that stinks. Ahem. Okay, I do lapse occasionally, but you all know what I'm saying. Originally written by Synergy: quote:What dya mean? Like do I have a career in mind? Well, not as such. I wanna study for the sake of it. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

quote:It's probably too late for you to change your grades, so hopefully they're good. You can always get exam prep for SAT, ACT, etc., if you aren't a good tester(Kel would be the expert on this, though). Good scores can help make up for a lacking GPA. Otherwise, I would just advise you to go to the highest ranked school that you get into in a climate you can tolerate for four years. Seeing as you're from Minnesota though, I can't imagine the latter will be a problem for you! :) Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

quote:Two things: Yes, prepping for the tests makes a quicker improvement than trying to increase your GPA. It's possible to raise an SAT score by 200 points over the course of a semester (with hard work), but it's often not possible to raise a GPA by a comparable amount over the same semester. I work for The Princeton Review, which was what AM was alluding to, so I know a bit about this; just ask if you have any questions. Also, there are a number of hidden gems out there — Minnesota reminds me of Carleton and the nearby Grinnell — that have good programs but not as strict entrance requirements as a Harvard or a Princeton. There are a number of good schools in the Midwest that get overlooked because so many people want to go to the coasts. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:Yeah, what Kel said. However, keep in mind that you can get a good education at almost any school. There may be opportunities for specialization at a top-tier school that you don't have elsewhere, and the student body will definitely be different. But professors at big name schools aren't necessarily better teachers -- sometimes the opposite, since they may be pressed to "publish or perish." -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |
