<p>I promise you, do not go to a school for a girl you have a crush on. I know it might seem like the most important thing in the world and that you cannot give up the POSSIBILITY that you might be with her, but her telling you that you have made her smile before she even knew you is not enough to keep you away from Berkeley, or at least it shouldn’t be. You HAVE to talk to this girl, lay it out, ask her out, ask her how she feels. The only good relationships I’ve had have involved honesty that took real balls to put out there, and the deterioration of every relationship I’ve ever been in has been due to the lack of open communication and honesty. Talk to her and go to Berk. If it works out, she can visit you. </p>
<p>i forgot the name of the show too, but it’s about some girl who goes to nyu instead of stanford or something… just because some guy signed her yearbook and smiled at her i think?</p>
<p>and the decision is completely against her parents’ will, and is much less favourable financially (yay nyu)</p>
<p>UCB is much less favourable financially for me. My mom actually wants me to go to UCI over UCB too. The reason I want to go to UCB is to get away from her though. “Hopefully” in the end they reject me and I won’t have to make the decision.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Women are a part of your future too. Well unless you’re homosexual but it’s the same thing just the other way around.</p>
<p>why are there so many threads about hotties, love, guys, gals instead of old sick transfer process? today is not valentine’s day rite?
nevertheless, its kool.
and the answer: I would have chosen over the gal. dont ask me why. i like my college here, and yeah, gals too.</p>
<p>the female:male ratio is moving in guys’ favor at a lot of schools every year. surely you can find someone. don’t obsess and choose your path of life based on a girl you aren’t even in a serious relationship with. i remember back in high school on those dumb, pointless announcements. one of the quote-of-the-days was from ferris bueller. “if you don’t stop and look around at life every once in awhile, you might miss it,” or something along those lines. i’m pretty sure that relates to the situation somehow, i’m just too tired to think of how.</p>
<p>Ok, I don’t think that I stressed my main point very well, so I am going to say it more eloquently:</p>
<p>The probablility of you not getting elimidated by the second semester (assuming that you actually become a couple and are somewhat compatible), expressed as a percentage, is comparable to Harvard’s transfer admission rate.</p>
<p>she shouldnt have asked you to go somewhere for her…thats the beginning of an unhealthy relationship (or the beginning of the beginning of dating that leads to an unhealthy relationship). she should know how important your decision is and its not fair of her to interfere and to mess with your head</p>
<p>hell no…it’s well known that HS romances dont’ last…plus your chick will be gettin it on as soon as she lands at the said college…go WHERE YOU WANT TO GO</p>
<p>I believe that one Freddie Prince Junior did say in the epic film I Know What You Did Last Summer: “come on, Julie, it’s been statistically proven that high school romances have the highest success rates.”</p>
<p>Listen, don’t factor her in your decision. You will regret it later in life or perhaps later in the quarter. People say that wherever you go will have hotties, and you say yo don’t think like that or really consider that. But listen, where SHE goes there will be plenty of male hotties and she very well may think of things differently than you. </p>
<p>If she gets attached to another guy, it will tear you up inside and perhaps hinder you educationally. Totally not worth it man. If you really want to be close, go to UCLA if you get accepted. A very good school which is only about an hour away from UCI. </p>
<p>Please do not go the route you’re thinking. You’re not going to marry her anytime soon and I’m sure she doesn’t want to get married either. She’s looking to have fun in a new place. Just consider all the possibilities and you will realize that the chance of your little, unexperienced (I don’t mean that in a bad way) heart breaking over this is FAR more likely than things working out as you plan.</p>
<p>And besides man, as you may soon realize, the key to a women’s heart is to show some interest, then distance yourself. Make her think like you are now. Make her question your interest in her. If you show too much, it will at worst creep her out and drive her away.</p>
<p>Unless you are married, never, ever base an academic decision on something as unstable as a romantic entanglement. These are life changing choices being decided on fleeting desires.</p>
<p>I agree with nspeds. Even marriage probably wouldn’t stop me from attending my dream school if I got in. Why does our culture put such an emphasis on romantic relationships and going to the ends of the earth for love? I don’t get it.</p>
