Class of 2014: Where have you visited/plan to apply?

TPJrNY · 10-25-2012, 03:55 PM

I'm sure many of us have started to visit schools. Which did you like? Which do you plan to apply to?

So far:
NYU - loved, plan to apply!
Vassar - meh... The campus and surrounding area is not so exciting.

Already Visited:
- University of Pennsylvania - Liked it but it was not for me (something did not click)
- Swarthmore - Loved it, plan to apply ED
- Haverford - Liked it, plan to apply RD (if rejected by Swarthmore)
- Bryn Mawr - Really liked the school, though not sure if I am okay with it being all girls, yet to decide if I will apply
- University of Pittsburgh - Too big, don't want to be in 200 people intro classes, also did not feel new/exciting (but that is partially because I live one neighborhood away from the campus)
- Junita - Really liked it, plan to apply as a safety (again if I don't get into Swarthmore ED)
- Penn State - Liked it more then I expected, but it was way too big

Visiting Later This Year
- Duquesne
- Muhlenberg
- Georgetown
- Dickinson
- Probably some combination of Kenyon, Denison, Oberlin and/or Allegheny

I've only visited UCSD and Stanford >.<

But I would like to visit Bowdoin, Colgate, Vanderbilt, Emory, JHU, Yale, Brown, and Wesleyan U sometime senior year.

I've visited Stanford and UCLA. LOVED the atmosphere and campus of Stanford, but something didn't feel right about UCLA. This spring break I will be flying over to the east coast and visiting Duke, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Dartmouth.

I plan to apply to a lot of schools so I can increase my chances of at least getting into one top 20 school.

Visited MIT, Princeton, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon
Will visit Stanford, Harvey Mudd, Caltech

I'm so ready to be accepted, somewhere, I just need like a checkpoint. Like in a videogame, right now I feel like if I mess up I have to start all over.

StudiousMaximus · 10-26-2012, 11:42 PM

I've visited HYPM + Brown + UVA; they were all great in different ways. I plan to apply to all of the aforementioned colleges plus Stanford, a few other Ivies, Duke, and maybe Chicago.

Visiting 100%:
MIT

Applying but idk if visiting:
Princeton
Cornell
Columbia
Harvey Mudd
UCLA
UCSD
UC Reject (seriously, I want to get rejected so bad)

sz06103 · 10-27-2012, 01:21 AM

Visited Columbia, NYU, and Fordham. I am planning to visit Cornell sometime during winter break.

I'm only a sophomore but I might graduate next year... UNC is probably a safety/match of mine, it's the only one ill definitely be able to afford, it's instate, and it's a great college. Then the only other schools I'm interested in are high reaches : brown, Yale, Princeton, MIT... I haven't found any other matches or safeties that I'm really interested in..

FollowTheReaper · 10-27-2012, 01:30 PM

I've been to San Jose State, San Francisco State, USF, and driven through Cal Poly SLO and UC Santa Cruz. The only one I plan on applying to is SLO, in addition to some UCs (probably Cal, UCLA, UC Davis, and UC Irvine) and maybe USC. I would like to go out of state, but it'll probably be too expensive, and the schools I could possibly get scholarships to aren't in the most attractive of areas.

pleiotropy · 10-27-2012, 10:53 PM

I'm so jealous of you guys for having enough money to visit colleges

I've only been to UMD and absolutely dislike the campus there.
