<p>Haha, I swear that Quasi and I didn’t plan to come online together this time. We were both happily reading till now.</p>
<p>Haha yes and I was drooling over guys in wire-rimmed glasses. (Anyone have a single friend who likes to wear those? :p)</p>
<p>I AM LIKING THIS BOOK.</p>
<p>And tetris and I have a psychic connection.</p>
<p>AND YAY GAPZ YOU APPLIEDZ.</p>
<p>You two are one poster! I feel it! You are dirty old man having schizofrenic conversations with his alter-ego Maurice.</p>
<p>EDIT: Wire rimmed glasses? I prefer the archetypal architect glasses.</p>
<p>ROFL.</p>
<p>No, actually I am ansrox and he is my blood brother.</p>
<p>Yale interview Yale interview </p>
<p><em>spasms</em></p>
<p>^gapyear, people dont know princeton?? Of course columbia has a pretty campus, but I was aiming at the “feel”. That is very subjective though. Yeah harvard and brown would probs be brown</p>
<p>Okay my post is a bit outdated so to speak:p</p>
<p>Noo, Princeton is just as well known as Yale I believe.
Maybe not with the Gossip Girl/Gilmore Girls crowd though. Some annoying Uggs girls at my school know more about Yale than about Harvard, Princeton et alia. A lot of people seem to know NYU better than Columbia too though!</p>
<p>Can’t we get away from the rank-the-Ivies crap HERE at least?!</p>
<p>@jjavdm : Here I think the most commonly known is Harvard, Yale, Oxbridge, University of Melbourne. That’s pretty much it. The last one is because everyone (exaggeration) from around my area goes there. </p>
<p>Of course, if you’re talking about informed people, they’d probably know Stanford, MIT and maybe Johns Hopkins cause of its med school. That’s pretty much it really. Of course, students who apply to US will know all this and P, B, D etc etc.</p>
<p>Hahaha, you’re right. </p>
<p>…</p>
<p>TRUMAN CAPOTE!</p>
<p>Haha “ugg girls”, love the term! Everyone at my school started translating it to GG and OC terms as well! My (female) friends include some ugg girls though, haha</p>
<p>Yes, Yes, NYU and Penn is also marginally known.</p>
<p>HAHA Quasi, we’re not ranking, we’re just discussing how weird it is that nobody’s heard of say, Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Kinda dumb. </p>
<p>But yeah, anyway, okay, we shall stop.</p>
<p>Haha or Ernest Hemingway. I haven’t gotten to Capote yet. :p</p>
<p>Edit: THANK you. :p</p>
<p>I should really be doing finaid stuffs. Meh.</p>
<p>Sorry for insulting the Uggs girls. I have friends who wear them (although I ridicule them for it).
I think next year we will be thrown in a pool of uggs! I saw a lot of students wearing them in the US… But then you can at least blame the weather. </p>
<p>Hemingway is okay! I am not a big fan, I admit.</p>
<p>One last thing: I can’t believe more people would know Johns Hopkins and Penn than Princeton…</p>
<p>In my experience, people DONT know dartmouth and penn, some johns hopkins and everyone knows hyps(and they think stanford is an ivy, because they think its some kind of league of good schools you enter when you are in the top 25)</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>I give up.</p>
<p>O btw, you didnt really insult ugg girls:p. My friends do include the ditzy ugg girls you mean. Like the ones that say: is hemingway a good writer, or what does assertive mean(although they are on a gymnasium)</p>
<p>By Penn, I mean Wharton. If you say Penn, I think most people will think oh, business school (not knowing what the heck is a liberal arts education)</p>
<p>The thing about it is, schools are known for one major. Harvard and Yale, for everything. People know Stanford cause of engineering. They know Penn cause of business. NYU because its in every freaking show. Johns Hopkins- med school. Often they dont see distinction between med school and undergrad either so they assume Johns Hopkins is a medical school.</p>
