Transferring / Re: transferring from T3 to Denver (T2)« on: June 13, 2008, 12:09:42 PM »
thanks for the info!
operating under the assumption that most T3s have fairly harsh grading curves, i'm going to guess that's about 25th %ile.... 13

yeah, the US news editor was on msnbc yesterday and i wanted to reach through the screen and punch him in the face as he was bragging about how popular their "special issues" were. their "rankings" (and our adherence to them) have turned the admissions process into a game of manipulation...

i'm only on one, but according to LSN, that school has issued more waitlists than rejections, and nearly as many waitlists as acceptances. anyone else thing this is kinda ridiculous?

let me put it this way, it was between idaho and willamette (with no money). i think i would love oregon but i wasn't comfortable with the academic environment and high attrition rate at willamette.

It would have been my cheapest option since I am a resident, but for me quality of life far outranks how good the school might be. Good luck in the arctic circle of hell aka Idaho! i don't live in idaho, but it is my cheapest option ($$) and i have a thing for cold weather and outdoor sports. beyond that, the fewer the distractions, the better for me academically speaking. and i could totally see myself living in boise for a few years afterwards... 20
