<p>Any current or past students of Cabrini that can offer any words of wisdom to a perspective student?</p>
<p>I recall them calling to recruit me to go there a few times and I hadn’t even heard about it. They offered me a big scholarship and said I’d get a full ride probably if I applied. I believe its in PA somewhere and they had an incident with a student there. Beyond that, I have no idea what the school’s about.</p>
<p>Thanks for your inputs - we have visited the campus and liked it but was interested to hear of someone that has perhaps attended or is attending. There was a student stabbed by another student a few weeks ago unfortunately!</p>
<p>its a great school! let me know if you have any questions about it!</p>
<p>Transfer out ASAP.</p>
<p>why would i transfer out of a great school? </p>
<p>may i ask where you go?</p>
<p>We’re both Seniors. We go to school near Cabrini. It is pretty much the school for ■■■■■■■ from our schools. It’s pretty horrendous. I wouldnt recommend going there.</p>
<p>Collegegirl5166, Cabrini is not the greatest college in the world. There is dignity in going to any college, I understand, but my trombone teacher is a music professor there, and he admits that educational opportunities are limited unless you plan on becoming a teacher.</p>
<p>I am not in college yet, but the “worst” school I’m going to apply to is American University, ranked #85 by US News.</p>
<p>Someone’s a little bit stuck up.</p>
<p>umm ok. i have a professor who has a pHD from Harvard who is willing to sit with me for an hour in his office to discuss my academic career. i have been to national honors conferences as well. i had a calculus class with 10 people and got one on one attention with the head of the math dept for help. there are a lot of great professors at cabrini. also keep in mind its what you make of your school/opportunities. you could go to harvard, party all the time and get no where. or you could go to state u and study your ass off and become successful. do you guys go to radnor or caroll or devon?</p>
<p>I go to Harriton, and I’m not stuck up, cliche (which, by the way, “stuck up” is a cliche. So you’ve definitely “ridden” it.)</p>
<p>Look, Collegegirl, there are good opportunities at any school. Cabrini just pales in comparison, to say, schools like Rochester, George Washington, and Brandeis (my “match to slight reach” schools…)</p>
<p>Wow, that was very insightful.
There’s playful irony at work, and your having to explain it to yourself just made everything better :-)</p>
<p>Cliche or not, your statement’s (“Transfer out ASAP”, and your reference to the rankings for show of worth) are dashed with elitism, which is a major contributing element to being ‘stuck up’.</p>
<p>PS: ‘Stuck up’ is a phrase. In case you need it

I’m not stereotyping or generalizing by calling you stuck up. If i infused stuck up -rich kid-, then that would be more cliche-like. Unless of course you’re referring to the second definition which says ‘trite or obvious remark’, which would mean that it’s quite obvious that you are, indeed, stuck up.</p>
<p>Good Luck getting in to your worst #85 school.</p>
<p>To the OP- I suggest that if a college suits your needs, and you feel right there and the education is right there, you can’t go wrong. Just know that you might have to prove your worth and work a little harder if you graduate from a lesser known degree. Remember that employers/grad schools are more concerned about how good you are/ your ability than they are about where you came from.</p>
<p>Good luck? That’s my safety, man . Don’t “worry” about me. I’ll get into American easy…4.20 weighted GPA and 2180 SAT. Me? Stuck up? Think what you want, man…but I know what my limitations are. The top 20 schools would laugh at someone like me, and that’s fine. I’ve accepted my “place.” I know that I’m a good person, and I know that Cabrini has its good points. All I’m saying is that, while Cabrini could be a good starting point for this person to get his or her “act together,” transferring to an institution with better academics would probably be advisable in the long run.</p>
<p>I meant to say good luck getting in from your worst #85 school <em>UP</em>, sorry (really!).</p>
<p>Yeah, the top 20’s hated on me too, i got waitlisted then rejected at chicago and rejected from cornell. Chicago was the only one that ‘hurt’ since that’s where i wanted to go. The top 20 lacs on the other hand loved me :-)</p>
<p>Well, I have my music talents, so I can always try and pimp those, but my lower GPA keeps me down. Anyway, let’s get back to advice for the incoming Cabrini student.</p>
<p>I go there once a year for a trombone recital (my trombone teacher is a professor there). It’s a very pretty campus. Secluded, yet not far from the city. It has a definite Roman Catholic flair, but I’m sure that’s the sort of thing you want. If you really like Cabrini, I’m almost absolutely sure that you can stay there and still be a success. It’s just that other schools have more academic programs to choose from, and offer better stepping stones to grad school (if that’s your intended direction,)</p>
<p>HeavenWood, you fail to think that perhaps the person asking this question does not have an extremely high SAT, class rank, etc. Perhaps this is a good fit for them academically. Just because it isn’t for you doesn’t mean it isn’t good for the OP. That’s why I find it a bit rude that you told them to “transfer ASAP”. College is what you make of it.</p>
<p>College is what you make of it, but Cabrini is a complete joke. You’re better off going to cc for a year or two and transfering.</p>
<p>This is getting really harsh…
Oh elitism…
I’m done here.</p>
<p>Even if this person does not have extremely good stats, he or she can get his or her act together during a year or two at Cabrini, then transfer to a more academically challenging school.</p>
