<p>after graduation from deep springs (2 year associate degree), do students start a 4 year undergraduate program or go straight to graduate school? if 4 year undergrad do they get some college credit from deep springs so they dont have to go through an entire nother four years? What about attending a service academy after deep springs?</p>
<p>From what I have heard from my friend (going to be DSC '07) most students go on to 4-year colleges (Harvard, Oxford, Columbia, Yale, Stanford and Princeton being popular choices) and they do transfer credits over.</p>
<p>so im taking it DS has a good reputation among the selective universities (harvard printon stanford etc , the ones you named)?</p>
<p>I wonder how the service academies would look at a DS graduate.</p>
<p>DS graduates demonstrate a unique type of discipline (so I hear) that even students at the most prestigious universities often lack. That is what the service academies are looking for : the most serious mind</p>
<p>Graduation from Deep Springs pretty much guarantees an acceptance into an undergrad program at the school of your choice. HYPS or other…</p>
<p>(DS students pretty much maintain top grades, and therefore the name is by itself enough…)</p>
<p>how many years do most kids spend at the 4 year institution they transfer to after DS, (to graduate)? Are the majors open to DS transfers at these schools limited, id imagine they would be beacuse the transfer credits are oh so narrow at DS.</p>
<p>Quoted from the Deep Springs website:</p>
<p>Deep Springers usually transfer to a four-year institution to continue their education after their time at Deep Springs. Some choose to take time off before continuing their education, to do volunteer work or service projects; some never continue their formal schooling.</p>
<p>Over the past six years, half of those Deep Springers who chose to continue their formal educations have attended Harvard, the University of Chicago, or Brown. Students also like Yale, Stanford, Columbia, and the University of California at Berkeley. The five students from the class of 2000 who enrolled at another school immediately after Deep Springs continued to the University of Chicago, Wesleyan, Harvard, and Oxford.</p>
<p>Many Deep Springers take time off before they continue their formal educations. Some work, some travel, some pursue research, some do service projects. Eight members of the class of 2000 have decided to take time off before they continue on to another college or university. Their activites range from cowboy work at the college and in the Eastern Sierras, through community development in Guatemala, to the study of Greek, and service in the Norwegian Army.</p>
<p>As you can see, I wouldn’t recommend going to deep springs unless you have true passion/thirst for life…</p>
<p>doenst answer question, how many years at hte 4 yr instit? (2,3,4?)</p>
<p>AFalcon, those are good questions. Since most people don’t know much about Deep Springs, I suggest you email Deep Springs with your questions.</p>
<p>Deep Springs is amazing. If they let girls in, I definitely would have applied.</p>
<p>Typically, they go on and finish the last two years of college at a four-year institution. I emailed them a while ago about if I would have to spend 4 more years due to being behind in requirements for a certain major…so yeah, two…unless I’m very much mistaken. </p>
<p>Elizabeth22, I hear that they debate the question every year.</p>
<p>Girls are a distraction, so they are never allowed.</p>
<p>What about ugly girls? I’m not very good-looking. I think I could have helped their educational environment as opposed to detracting from it. Mmhmm!</p>
<p>You realize that this is a two year college, and you would transfer two years into another college so you would start as a junior. If you picked a major that had requirements that could not be met in the final two years you would have to linger on, just as if you transferred from the local community college (only different) It is also in a very remote area and in a very small learning community environment. I remember reading a few years back that their average SAT scores were 1560…so the conversation might be invigorating, as you ride your horse chasing cows through the Sierra Nevada Winter. Read up on the school and its history…a very interesting place indeed.</p>
<p>Lots of 'em leave school after the two years, and never come back. They find better things to do with their time and energy.</p>
<p>I would go in a heartbeat if I had the right chromosomes.</p>
<p>mini - Of course they leave the school after two years, it’s a two-year school.</p>
<p>No. They don’t continue in college at all.</p>
<p>ur a fool they all go ivy league or stanford or such</p>
