<p>Massive New England/Tri-State area college visit trip planned. I’ve already visited Penn and Columbia before due to proximity, so I’ll be hitting up everything north of that.</p>
<p>no, fledge, i meant nthis pakistanigir-- but i’m sure u are sweet too.</p>
<p>Hitting Carnegie Mellon and Boston U. But not over spring break. It’s an excused absence. So I am definitely not giving up spring break for that</p>
<p>Thankfully, none. I’m really pretty sick of college visits. They all sound the same to me.</p>
<p>^ Agree that informational meetings are so banal but touring the individual campuses and getting a feel for the community/tasting some food is still pretty insightful.</p>
<p>I’m visiting UNC and Duke sometime next month. Hopefully I can get some good vibes from one of the campuses when I visit.</p>
<p>^That should be exciting. I don’t know who you are, so I’ll only assume I’ll see you at UNC. :P</p>
<p>Hmm do you guys think it’s necessary to visit colleges BEFORE you get accepted?</p>
<p>^Yes, it’s very necessary. Why would I apply to a college before knowing what’s there? I’d rather apply for colleges in my best interests that I know will benefit me regardless if I get in or not. I just want to know what’s in it for me IF I go there.</p>
<p>^ Yes .</p>
<p>Meadow… yeah I think so. Unless your environment doesn’t really matter to you, and you’re purely there for academics.</p>
<p>I’m not visiting any colleges save for CA ones like UCs and Stanford, maybe this summer. However, 2 summers ago I went on an East Coast road trip and visited many East Coast campuses, though I didn’t tour any of them. Definitely, definitely affected me. For example, I will not apply to UPenn simply b/c of its campus or NYU because of its lack of a campus. I also saw that a lot of Ivy League buildings are like… really old looking and stuff, which isn’t really my style but I think I would like now.</p>
<p>I’m leaving for New York in 4 days, then driving all around to look at seven colleges (and sightsee, obviously) over 9 days. I can’t wait, though it’s probably going to be super hectic. Whee!</p>
<p>RPI, Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh/Lafayette/Bucknell April Vacation? Possibly.</p>
<p>Are any of you taking the ACT in April?</p>
<p>I might go visit Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, and UPenn over April vacation. I would do it during school days, but I’ve already missed so many this year I don’t feel like making up more.</p>
<p>Nah, done with SAT testing for this school year and not gonna bother ACT testing.</p>
<p>Lehigh?
CJ McCollum is a pimmmp
(College Basketball)</p>
<p>If that Lehigh/Kansas game ended with 15:00 left in the 1st half, Lehigh would have pulled off the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history.</p>
<p>Haha that’s exactly what I thought would happen. People would know actually know who they are. I’ve been going to those games my whole life and it’s funny to see that people have JUST started talking about them (even around here). Even though they’ve been pretty good for a while now.</p>
<p>going to visit nyu and columbia in two weeks. sooo excited! :D</p>
<p>I feel pretty set between two school, at the moment. But my mind’s always open for new schools to sweep me off my feet.</p>
<p>And, I’m retaking my ACT in June, so I can qualify for scholarships at Purdue, if that’s where I go. I’m already qualified for one at Central Michigan. So yeah, my two choices so far.</p>
