2011 Senior reporting in.

I was actually admitted to the first college I applied to, Hillsdale, and that's where I'm headed. It's a relatively small liberal arts school in Michigan.
I guess I'll have to revive whatever cubing scene they've got going up there.
I know there's been at least one Michigan comp (Motor City Open 08).

Where are you thinking about going, OP?

 

[y3k9]

I'm not a senior, but I know there are books about college applications. Like a lot of them, just go down to the library.

 

[Whyusosrs?]

You like books about college applications? That's kinda weird.

I applied to OSU (Ohio State) last month and got my acceptance letter about 2 weeks ago (they also invited me to the honors program which I'm not sure if I want to do or not). I'm all set for college now, though. I'm hoping to qualify for some merit scholarships due to my academic numbers, but I guess we'll see.

I disagree. I imagine they could be quite useful.

Yesssuuuuuu.

There was another comp in Michigan being planned earlier this year, but it never happened (thread).

Class of 2011.. Applied early action to Nazareth and will hopefully be receiving an acceptance letter in January. Also applying to Ithaca, but I won't find out about that until March. Either way, I really hope there will be other cubers there!

The best advice that I got when I went through this process was to go somewhere where you'll be happy rather than nitpicking on trivial ratings that don't reflect anything much at all.

got into rutgers and drexel. Applying to Penn State, Temple, The College of New Jersey, Boston University, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, UPENN, Northwestern, Washington University in St. Louis, Duke, Harvard, Tufts, Brown University. Surprisingly, no one from my school got into Columbia early d.

Also spending a four-digit number of dollars on application fees.

Early action: Caltech rejected; MIT deferred to regular decision
Regular decision: Carnegie Mellon; Stanford; Harvey Mudd; UChicago; UIdaho (NMS fullride backup); a couple others, unsure which exactly at this point, but I got some free application waivers as part of a college admissions process research program, so I ought to use them

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost you Americans to apply? Is it the same everywhere? In Ontario you have to apply to at least 3 programs (but you can apply to more), and it's 40 dollars each.

 

[waffle=ijm]

depends on the school.
University at Buffalo had a $50 application fee
TCNJ had a $75 application fee

with both schools I had to send out SAT scores and transcripts. For SAT scores the first 3 schools you apply to are included in the SAT registration (if you have more than 3 then you have to pay an additional $10 per school not including the 3 already). Transcripts for me are another $5-$15 per school.

Then again....I'm canadian sooooooo.

Sir, this by default means that you are now obligated to go to Indiana competitions!

What a wonderful place to go...

Renamed thread in order to better reflect the content, and to save someone else the trouble of starting the annual uni thread.

It varies from college to college, almost all between 50 and 100, the majority being 60 to 90. Many big universities will charge an app fee for each college you apply to within the university. It's a decent bet that oval's 15 app fees will cross the four-digit line.

 

[oval30]

It will cross the 4 digit line, but drexel and rice's applications are free for me so that minus 150 dollars.

 

[babyle]

Applying to USC, UCLA, Berkeley, UCI, UCR, UCSD, Caltech, La Verne (recruited by them for their Cross Country team), UPenn, Cornell, Harvard, Yale, and Duke. I just found out I forgot to put my social security number on my UC application...
