What Colleges Are Your Top Choices?

[Oblivion]

I personally would like to go to
Stanford, because it's close to home, and a good college
University of Washington, because its in WA, and a pretty good college, or
Any of these:
Law Enforcement Development Center (LEDC)
George Washington University, Washington DC
The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology - Forensic Odontology

Because they are all in Washington DC, where I want to work when I graduate, AND where I want to be an intern

[Whisper]

University of Vancouver Island

[theOperaGhost]

Well, I'm in college. It's not exactly the college of my top choice, but I like it and am really glad I'm here.

I'm at Minot State University in North Dakota.
I really would have liked to have gone to Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota.

[Zephyr]

At the moment I'm dual-enrolled with Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University.

But I'm looking more into studying aborad, then permenatly moving to finish my education.

So I really don't know about top choices at the moment.

[MoveAlong]

2 colleges in my state. I haven't been looking around at out-of state colleges because I want to stay in my state, so I'm aiming towards going to two in-state colleges.

[Underground_Network]

I have really high goals that I could easily meet (I'm talking Ivy League schools such as Cornell, Princeton, Columbia and schools like Stanford, etc.), but I'm more likely going to settle with Rutgers (good academics, but nothing amazing) or a school specializing in something I'm interested in (such as Bennington College, or even United States Merchant Marine Corps or US Military Academy)

[Random_oso06]

i want to go to A&M it far from home but that's the only college that teaches what i want to be

[Antares]

Well obviously the ivy-leagues. My grades aren't really relfecting my intellegence sooo I wont get into those :P

Also, I think right now U of M or some other random college. IDK

[NextToNormal]

top choice is rider. second, third and fourth are elizabethtown, roanoke (already accepted to!!) and washington. im still debating cornell though. its such a reach lol but w/e

[Mannequin]

Cal Poly, Virginia Tech, UC Berkeley, American University, NYU, Boston, etc.

[Whisper]

trying to follow matt? lol

[Φρανκομβριτ]

LOL KODY






Hopefully Algonquin college

[Trickster]

Califronia University!! In L.A.!

[TAC1]

Either UWI ( University of the West Indies) or Embry Riddle in Florida.

[DarkWingedAngel]

I'm not going to collage.
Instead im going into and apprenticeship.
but if i do go to collage then i will go to McMaster University.

[Mannequin]

trying to follow matt? lol

hah, well hardly. he goes to a really good school!

[ThatDude93]

I know I am going to Three Rivers Community College for my 1st two years, it is really close and a good school to pick up your basics.

Then I'll probably go to whatever college has a good program for whatever career i decide to pursue.

[LIsailer19]

Northeastern University, Drexel University, and SUNY Buffalo are my top 3 choices

[Underground_Network]

I'm starting to really lean towards Rutgers, though I have a chance to get into The Governor's School of New Jersey (for Creative Writing) next summer which could give me a great shot at getting into a specialized college (one that focuses on writing or "arts" [creative stuff] or something along those lines, such as Bennington College) rather than trying to keep all my grades up and try getting into an Ivy League school or other prestigious university.

My history teacher has also sparked my interest in William & Mary, but I don't really see myself going there. I am contemplating going to a college overseas or even a college in Canada, but I don't know. Next year I'll have to really think about colleges, and when I HAVE to really think about them, I will.

Rutgers seems like a good fit atm, I could probably even get a scholarship there, whereas I'd probably have to pay for all four years if I got into an Ivy League school... But it's too early, and I don't know. I will let VT know what college I get into when I do get into one, but that won't be for quite awhile. :wink:

[Rainstorm]

I want to go to Suny Brockport or to Princeton

[Jean Poutine]

jesus americans are so stuck up on universities. prestige is all the same over here. nobody really cares. only thing I like about socialism.

I'm doing CEGEP right now (ie my colleges), but I'm shooting for Laval (ie your colleges) simply because it's closer to home.

or maybe McGill. quebecois have the lowest tuition in north america. I am a quebecois. why not use it?

I've considered cégep, but I don't know. I can choose cégep heritage, cégep d'Outaouais, or the colleges I've applied for (Algonquin, Centenial, and Seneca)

I was thinking of applying to La Université du Québec en Outaouais, and I just applied to La cité

[Jean Poutine]

I'd much rather jump to university straight away, but doing so, as I am a Quebec resident, would need me to move in English Canada or the likes.

and hell naw. CEGEP is pretty chill.

here's a protip : go to a public cégep unless you really, really have to go to a private one. the quality is generally the same, unlike high schools.

[Talia]

Its kinda "planned" for me to go to UCLA and UC Davis, but I really dunno where I'm gonna go or where I want to go..

[Neverender]

i'd be going to either University of Sask. or MUN (Memorial University)

[DarkWingedAngel]

i have been thinking i might reconsider collage or university
because there is a really good one in the states that offers what im leaning towards
but that means long way away from my mommy
been looking around more
I would love to go to SAIT Polytechnic they have an awesome engineering program, in fact all they to there is technology
one in the states

[TurboDieselBandit]

I want to go to MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Georgia Tech, or California Institute of Technology. I want to become a engineer or architect. I like working on extreme, powerful machines like automotive things and high performance boats. What ever I do; I want to love it and make the big bucks ($120,000 a year and more)

Why be good when you can be great?
Money cant buy happiness, but it can rent it.

[ECGBUnni]

hmm
GWU (george washington university)
northeastern
USC (university of southern california)
NYU (new york university)
Vassar
the one i really wanna go to though, is BU. Cuz of it's amazing mass communications program, and I know ppl on the board. Always good to have connections.

However, I'm seriously considering a gap year, so who know?

[Capote]

I'm currently attending University of California, Davis. I love the campus; however, I originally did not apply for UCD. My first top choice was UCLA. I didn't get into UCLA, but I am happy where I am at.

[sabin22]

UTI, in scottsdale,az 4meh

[Needhelp88]

Well I've applied to and been accepted to Tulane, Drexel (Honors), LSU

but I'm wanting to go to Brown :D

wish me luck

[Halibut]

Univercity of alberta or univercity of victoria are good ones. my sister goes to uvic and she loves it

[lavieboheme]

I would love to go to UQ or QUT, preferably UQ but if I can't get into either I would want to go to Griffith.

[Zephyr]

Now I'm looking into being a surgeon...
So...

Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU)

[pokerface]

Errr....

As of now I'm considering many schools:

Emory University - GA
Wake Forest - NC
Vanderbilt - TN
Mercer - GA

I'm a little biased right now because living in suburban Detroit, it's effin cold and I just wanna go back south where it's nice. But that's just my list as of now.

[Oblivion]

Ok, well, I completely changed mine.
If I end up going with forensic anthropology, University of Tennessee is my main and only choice.

Otherwise [Warning: AMBITIOUS! :P]:
1. Oxford [Ok, so it seems ambitious, but I've always wanted to get the Rhodes Scholarship. :P]
2. Stanford
3. University of Pennsylvania
4. Harvard
5. Princeton
6. Yale
7. Brown
8. University of Washington

[Yes I know the top 7 are Ivy League/Equivalent schools. :P]

[Vicarious]

Being a junior, I've gotten a crapload of letters from colleges, and I'd have to say, so far I am impressed with:

- The Ohio State University
- Emory University
- GWU
- Georgetown
- Columbia
- Washington & Lee University
- University of Virginia
- NYU

And some others...

Political Science/Journalism major. Maybe Mass Communications. We'll see.

[maeniel]

Yeah, I thought about University of Tennessee knoxville
and SCAD in atlanta

[Rutherford The Brave]

Harvard,Yale,Mit,Tufts,Wake Forest, Hawaii, Boston University, UNH and UGA

[INFERNO]

Well, as I'm going to be in 3rd year uni. soon, I'm probably not going to change to what would be my top choices, which are McMaster, UBC, McGill, etc... . I did get into one of my other top choices, UofT (University of Toronto).

[Reality]

Here in the UK, a "college" just means a vocational/skills/community/Sixth Form (usually all one institution) college, but using the American usage which pretty much means any college, including Universities and other Higher Education Institutions, I'll say my choices. I don't have any top choices per se, though:

University of Liverpool - Dunno why, it just attracts me.

Warwick University - No chance I'd get in there considering it's apparently one of the best in the UK, haha, but anyway.

Coventry University - It's a good University, and it's in the city I live in. lol.

One of my career choices (wonder-abouts more like) is becoming a Vet, if I persue this (as much as I doubt it) then I'll attend the Veterinary College of the University of London.

[Whisper]

The ones that I applied to in no paticular order

University of Ottawa (http://www.uottawa.ca/)
Carleton University (http://www.carleton.ca/)
University of Victoria (http://www.uvic.ca/)
Vancouver Island University (http://www.mala.ca/index.asp)

Yale

Hmmm... Ya that's it, my dream colleges, in somewhat order of preference.

[TigerLily]

Just to be unrealistic, I'm going to have to say Oxbridge (my Dad was an Oxford graduate, so from what he's told me I know how great that sort of education is)
But failing that I'll probably end up at Leicester University, which is fine by me ^_^, studying French & Spanish most likely :)

[Perseus]

I want to go to UGA to go study astronomy and music, but that college is hard to get into.

[Huskyboy132]

University of Zürich.

[Sktrjer]

The Art Institute of Vancouver for Media & Gfx design.

[ThatDude93]

I know I am going to Three Rivers Community College for my 1st two years, it is really close and a good school to pick up your basics.

Then I'll probably go to whatever college has a good program for whatever career i decide to pursue.

Still planning on what I said then. Now I have a few colleges in mind: Missouri State and NW Missouri State.

The only place I've got my heart set on is Southern Oregon University. Lovely town, small class sizes, affordable, and it's away from home.

[sweetmisery]

Arcadia Uni, Brown, Cornell (Far reach, tbh), BU, UConn,

those are the only ones I've looked into and liked. I'm sure I'll eliminate some later and add more realistic colleges :P

[nightrider250R]

ASU ------- Arizona State University

[jbi0hazardj]

[Kaius]

National University of Ireland (Galway), Northumbria University or Manchester Metropolitan

[Asylum]

Arcadia

[Underground_Network]

Now I'm seriously looking at colleges and my top four choices are Sarah Lawrence, Bennington, Selkirk College (in Canada), and Emerson.

If my grades keep being... Sporadic, I'll have a tough time getting into college, but my GPA will probably be over a 4.0 this year if I can get my act together, so no big deal...

[Erick]

Yale. Im there now and I am so happy.
Ivy League schools rockz.

[CaptainObvious]

My top choice is Universite Laval in Quebec. Ranked 139 worldwide. Offers degrees in photography and free french lessons. I'm also looking at a few other college's in Quebec, British Columbia, and Alaska.

[SoFlaDude]

Loyola University Chicago, Fordham University in New York, Rockhurst University in Kansas City, and Loyola Marymount in LA.

PS- super special gold star for anyone who can tell me what those four universities have in common :P

LOL Sounds Awesome! Where I go to school, there seems to be an extra emphasis on going to any of the Jesuit colleges, and I've been taking them into consideration a lot! Especially Fordham :)

[travis1994]

UVM, Bucknell, adn Elon

[DrPepperGuy]

[mrct]

University of Sydney

[Nelson]

Mine are University of Western Sydney, or maybe UTS, or somewhere that does mental health degrees

[sCa45]

So many people are obsessed with the Ivy League schools. I really don't understand all the hype about them. Of course, they're all good schools, and you have to be a one of a kind person to be accepted, but honestly, you should go to the college where YOU will be the happiest.

[belfordrocks]

[Peace God]

Anyone but this one... as long as it has dorms.

[starbrite5]

My sister goes to Sarah Lawrence!

My dream school is RISD, and that way I could take classes at Brown as well. However, I have another year before I have to look at colleges very seriously, so...
