Stanford =D will never go there since its on the other side of the country but ive always liked that university for some reason. i think it has something to do with the name.. ahahah =X
xKiss the Sky
Yale University. The campus is beautiful, and I love the fact that it has so much history. It's also only one hour from where I live, so it's close to home. I probably have a 0.001% chance of getting in. It's a dream indeed *sigh*
TheFrontline
Stanford. My dream school ever since I was a little kid.

ME TOO!
I love Yale and have loved it for years. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I hated Harvard ever since I was little. Do you know how frustrating and annoying it is when every person (even if you don't know them well but they might be your parent's friend or something) goes up to you and says one of the following:
Jane, you're going to Harvard, right?
Jane, haha you're so smart! Go to Harvard!
Jane, you'll get into Harvard someday.
Jane, you have to PROMISE ME TO GET INTO HARVARD!!!!!!!


It's rather irritating and by the sweet tender age of 5, I nursed a growing dislike for this thing called "Harvard". Then, I found out it was a university and I found out its...sort of...rival was Yale. So I was like, "I'll get into Yale and rub it in the faces of all those Harvard lovers!" What a stupid reason, but yes, that's the humble beginnings of my love for Yale.
And then I started researching it more and more, especially this year, and I'm really afraid now....since I'm in LOVE with it and really, I have the tiniest chance of getting in (like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001%). The campus is extraordinarily breathtaking, it has so much history, and it's close by (I live in NY so it's about 2 hours away). It's close enough that I get to see my family if I feel like it and there's none of that hectic airplane flight ticket booking omg where did my bag go + hours of waiting in the airport = stress thing, but it's far away enough that it would discourage my parents from trying to drive there every day or every weekend in which case, I will hide somewhere and I won't have to deal with the mounting stress I get from living at home. And 27359807128951857875158927897 other reasons. I'm really in love with everything and if I go there, I'll have so much school spirit which is weird since I barely have any right now. I'm not one of those peprallyRAHRAHGOOOOOTEAMMMM!! people.









But in reality, there's a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of me getting in especially since my grades are getting worse and I don't do sports ): (schedule doesn't really allow it + I suck at sports anyway and would get cut from every team lol...except track but like i said, schedule doesn't let me) There are 2509718751 people with perfect SAT scores and perfect GPA that are involved in sports and 7895715 clubs and volunteer and why not, save the world while they're at it. and some of these people kind of get rejected. so what makes me so special? if they can't get in, how can i?



why oh why can't i have the work ethic i used to have when i was in elementary? tears.gif i started slacking off since 5th grade after coming to the realization that i DIDN'T HAVE TO STUDY and yet i got straight A's! and then i slacked off and was lazy on everything and freshman year killed me because of this and i started putting in a little more effort and in 10th grade, once again, after having this habit for about 5 years, it's not going away anytime soon and it's KILLING me...i don't know what to do ): also, i procrastinate too much.

*sigh* :/. sometimes, i wish i didn't dream big. sometimes, i wish my dreams were a tad bit more realistic and attainable. what am i going to do when i get that letter that says i'm rejected from yale? ):

wordd. =D brown uni's medical program USED to be my dream program until i found out ppl who went there would eventually transfer out cuz they hated it =XX like the school is nice and everything but i heard medical is not that great. (but still its a good school to go to for 4 years hehe) then i changed it to Northwestern University and Boston University's medical program cuz i heard both of them are awesome and all students who go for the medical programs there love it so... =DD but now im officially changed to Stonybrook's medical program cuz well i know someone who attends the medical school there anyways and im planning on living in new york anyways so.. yea =DD

that's so awesome that you want to apply there.
it's really rare that anyone from out of NC applies there (assuming that you're not from NC).
i'm applying there too and it's like an hour and half from my town.
it's not my #1 dream school, but it's a realistic school for me.
i think i might have a shot at getting in.

The RISD Brown dual degree program is just so so so appealing @.@ But then I'm not committed to art and I can't get into brown... truthfully don't even know where I want to go to yet and there's not much time left ;_;

Actually, I am from NC, haha. I live 30 minutes away from UNC. For some reason, I don't want to go out of state. I'll miss my family too much, lol. I really love the school because it's so close and it's also a very good school. And being instate, it's definitely easier for us to get in. I'm not even going to dream about schools like Duke (too hard to graduate), haha.

sigh.
i have the same problem. you know what you should do ? write a letter to yourself. i did that. i was a straight a student since i was young, up to 7th grade. 8th grade year i slacked off, oh man, did i die. now im a freshman and struggling T__T im the queen of procrastinating, but im not proud of it. with all the support im getting [my mom&siblings] they said that if i really work hard i will get into Berkeley University. AHHH ! i really want to get in. what you should do is write a letter to yourself. When you get home, or BEFORE you do homework, read your letter biggrin.gif thats what i do now, and it makes all my work better ph34r.gif in the letter, you should say that you PROMISE to work hard, that you will TRY getting involved, and admit your mistakes and put your good and bad habits, and before you know it, your bad habits will start wearing away. but you have to tell yourself that you will work hard, because if you dont... theres no point on being just all talk blink.gif
