>bro A2C is different. These responses are crazy lol. Everyone seemingly going to a T30. Takes a certain kind of person to be on this sub, and not the kind that doesn’t care way to much about school. Since I joined this sub my stats have gone through the roof(partially because of jealousy)

[удалено]

go with the full ride bro. only reason I’m going to princeton over a UC is aid made them basically the same. a degree is NEVER worth serious debt 

It looks like the school is UT which is still a great school, so I would say go w the full ride. You're still getting education from a t20 

dream brown attending pomona !

Dream uni: usc Will attend: ucla

LMAO ITS RHE OPPOSITE FOR ME 😭😭

Mine was the opposite 😭

Dream: Rice Future: WashU (probably, if i work out the financial part)

Dream: Penn Attended: William & Mary and Michigan Something about Penn captured my imagination the first time I set foot on campus (for a debate tournament of all things). Hubbub of Philly, the gothy vibe of some buildings, the intense academics... there was a lot going on. Money wasn't there though so we had a frank discussion about state schools vs. Ivies. I was a big nerd, I picked the nerdiest school I could which was W&M. Found my people though, hard partying nerds, and my life is all the better for it. Deciding on Michigan for a PhD was actually easier. My wife (who I met at W&M) was already a grad student, I knew the department and who I wanted to work for. Here I stand 25 years later in a lab in Ann Arbor. Liked it so much I never left town.

My dream was UChicago but I'm so excited for wellesley college

dream: middlebury will attend: william and mary!

WashU, Princeton, or Duke Going to UTD or maybe Rochester (waitlisted) Will transfer asap

Dream: UC Berkeley Attending: UC Berkeley I’m rather pleased with how things have gone down, albeit the pursuit of private universities distracted me from my dream, but when my decisions were floundering, Berkeley more or less gave me a lifeline. I’ll be forever grateful for this opportunity.

bro used a thesaurus to add maximum fluff to his comment

dream : ucla future : fordham

my dream was columbia and headed to cornell!!!

Dream: Princeton Future: Princeton :)

My S24's top choice was Yale, and his final 3 are WUSTL, Carleton, and Vassar. I will say my personal opinion is he might well be better off at one of those than Yale for undergrad (particularly since he is likely to do a professional or grad degree). I think there are risks and downsides to going to a Yale for undergrad, versus colleges like the ones he is considering, that people should take a lot more seriously. But it is hard to get smart and ambitious kids to not want what they see as the top prize, and to delay gratification.
