Think Back to Age 8...

College Confidential Community
21

<p>I didn’t even know what college was when I was eight. I just wanted to marry the green Power Ranger.</p>

22

<p>Probably UCLA</p>

23

<p>I probably didn’t even know what college was.</p>

24

<p>At 8? Businessman… Now?? Entrepreneur… LOL.</p>

25

<p>I wanted to go to an “elite” university. I didn’t know any, though.</p>

26

<p>I wanted to go to USC, Temple, or NYU. I wanted to be a movie director, and those three schools are (or are to the 8-year-old’s mind) legendary for film.
Now I’ve switched tracks completely and didn’t even end up applying to any of those.</p>

27

<p>When I was 8, I wanted to NYU.</p>

<p>Coincidentally, I was 8 during 9/11.</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>Who went to Temple?</p>

29

<p>I had always dreamed of UCLA because of the riddle:</p>

<p>What happens when the smog clears over Los Angeles?
Ans: UCLA</p>

<p>When I was 4 I wanted to be a toaster (I can thank “The Brave Little Toaster” movie for that), when I was 10 I probably wanted to be a doctor. But I really didn’t have any grasp on what college really was until junior high (I guess around 12).</p>

31

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, I was going to ask the same thing and I go to Temple LOL. We dont have much in terms of well known directors. A lot in terms of the business side in the movie industry, some producers, directors of photography, and actual camera operators for movies. We do have a really great film school for kids who cant get into USC, NYU, etc.</p>

32

<p>CofC… My cousin went there.</p>

<p>For those of you who don’t know… that’s the College of Charleston (SC, not Virgina or wherever. XD)</p>

<p>But I’ve found out since then that its a party school. =/</p>

33

<p>I wanted to go to UGA of course! I didn’t even know where it was or why I liked it, but everyone else went there. :P</p>

34

<p>I didn’t even consider college when I was that young.</p>

<p>I wanted to be a famous singer, then a movie directly, and then a news reporter.</p>

35

<p>Princeton .</p>

36

<p>FBI Agent, CIA Agent, Assassin…</p>

37

<p>UCLA because my favorite quarterback Troy Aikman went there & Florida University because they had a kick ass college football team.</p>

<p>And I wound up at Temple…yep.</p>

38

<p>MIT, because I went to my dad’s 25th reunion there when I was 8 and thought it was awesome.
Then I visited junior year and hated it. My dad was crushed :frowning: Having mandatory calc/chem/physics freshman year was a major turn-off for a liberal arts person, and it rained the entire tour!</p>

39

<p>I wanted to be an architect at U of F.</p>

40

<p>lol i was not thinking about college at all. and i’m glad i wasn’t.</p>
