The University Discussion Thread

I thought you meant the Queens in Belfast, whoops.

Jorlung wrote:Just applied today to Queens University, McMasters University and Waterloo University for mechanical engineering (Mech & materials for queens) in all three. Not that any of you know where the hell they are, but whatever.

Kingston, Hamilton and Waterloo. I live in Canada too. Any other people going to Canadian universities? A lot of you seem to be the same age here as well.

Pretty sure it's only you, me, and that other TFC fan that hasn't been on for ages that are Canadian.

I am going from Public Services to Business Management, I am starting to get nervous that I will not get a Uni place because of this

I am predicted the highest marks which are a good 40-80 UCAS points against their asking offer.

I also talked about my passion for business, studying books to gain knowledge and been in the young apprentice, will I haev a chance?

Had an interview for the Young Apprentice* sorry.

I didn't make it sound like that

I actually am reading books though

I'm pretty sure everyone does for their subject though.

I have read books since I was like 6 on Ancient History.

But you think I'll be ok right?

As each day goes on I'm becomign resigned to the fact I won't get an offer

Just received a conditional offer from Plymouth University!



It's my 5th choice but so happy

Got my 1st offer today! DeMontfort Leicester! 5th choice but still..happy with that!

Not gonna lie, my course is so fucking boring this year I have no motivation to do anything apparently it gets a lot more interesting the second year I'm glad I've tied myself down to a house so that I have to stick around.

I'm just waiting for an offer from Chester.

Offer from Manchester Met

Yeah boy

A full ride offer from University A, deferred by University B, and I will hear back from Colleges B, C, D, E, F, and G in March/April.

May I ask what they are?

SBSP wrote:May I ask what they are?

Yes, you have my permission to ask.

What are they?

A=UOP
B=PU
C=CMU
D=VU
E=DC
F=GU
G=the other UOP

Happy guessing.

A is University of Pennsylvania and B is Princeton University.

SBSP is a stalker, Blade is just a cheat.

You got the two UOPs mixed up, though.

My guesses for SBSP:
Stanford
UC Berkeley
UC Davis
UC LA
UC Santa Barbara
University of Oregon?

The first four are correct. There's one more UC and the last one is CP.

Santa Cruz/San Diego
Cal-Poly

When applying to the UCs, do they look at "the whole package," or do they view your extracurriculars & pointless crap as well? I have a feeling I'll get shafted in that regard with my East Coastian universities.

It is San Diego.

They do ask for your extracurricular activities, which makes me a bit uneasy. I'm not sure how much weight they give to them though.

I have fairly standard ECs, it's just annoying how people do things of similar or even lesser importance, yet they can make it sound more significant. I don't see why universities should value average students who won some class election freshman year in a campaign won with tense negotiations regarding the number of cookies provided for everyone that cast a favorable ballot.

You should apply to CMU, mf. Preferential treatment for people with Scottish heritage, + a 7000 dollar a year scholarship if you agree to learn the bagpipes while you are there.

Is application still open? I'm not too keen on going out of state.

SBSP wrote:Is application still open? I'm not too keen on going out of state.

It is probably too late, mf.

I feel the same way about leaving the Northeast, which is probably equal in terms of distances.

Glen, where are you applying? What do you want to study?
