I know this doesn't belong in the Ski/Snowboard forum (or probably anywhere on this board for that matter), but fuck it, I'm posting it anyway. As summer rolls into fall and ski season looms, it is time for anticipation and angst of another kind to arise among a certain group of people nation/worldwide. Yes, it is college admissions season. And for this young (and some might say rash and overzealous) maggot, the time has come to apply to colleges and see where I'll take my first real step into the adult world.
With a decent unweighted cumulative gpa and respectable test scores (3.8 and 1400, respectively), I fall into something of a middle of the road category, where Ivy's are a bigtime reach and top tier state schools are solid bets. But I'm not worried about that really, I've compiled a list of schools that, while not terribly ski-centric, are pretty degree centric in a field that could potentially lead to lots of skiing, or at least time in the mountains. So, I present the maggot community with Glademaster's college process odyssey. Let's start with some lists of schools in order of my desire to go to them:
Brown University
Columbia University Columbia College
McGill University
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Northwestern University
University of California Berkeley
Cornell University
University of Wisconsin-Madison
University of Washington Seattle
University of Vermont
So, with that in mind, we'll see how things progress in the coming months. Between the rolling admissions schools and my early decision application to Brown, I should have reponses from 3 or 4 schools by Christmas. Wish me luck and feel free to offer any advice, as I'm sure those of you who have been through the process know far more about it than I do at this point.
