Top Ten Toughest Colleges to get into in the U.S.

[youandwhosearmy]

MIT is in Boston.


On Mass Ave. heading out from Harvard university into Boston you go by MIT.

Berkley is also on the same street.

Tufts is on an adajacent street heading out from a different city.

Medford, somerville, and cambridge are massive college towns in between all of these schools.

I know the whole area if anyone wants to know anything about those four schools so let me know.

I can also show you where natalie (wooden actor) Portman, and Jessica (I'm a lush) Biel, live in harvard sq., and medford respectively if your just looking to stalk.

I have a few questions for you guys. Generally speaking, what's the most important thing needed to get into a good school? The guidance counselor says GPA and what you take are more important than the SATs. *sigh* He’s really pushing for everyone to start thinking about this stuff, but I really don’t care to. Also, what are some of the best schools? I really don't know, but I imagine I'd prefer something with a smaller population. No drunken frat party type stuff. I suppose it’s just my warped perception of college (thanks in large part to various forms of media), but is this type of activity generally inescapable at any school?

it's nice to meet girls interested in the Hotel School

I know two girls from my high school who go to the hotel school at Cornell. Hotel school.... RIIIIGGGHHHTTT....

Zerodash, make sure you guys give my lil' bro a warm welcome... he's a freshmen in high school now, but he's *probably* gonna end up at Rutgers New Brunswick.

I dunno man, they're hot. I'm taking a class on Insurance Law (for business purposes), taught by a Hotel School assistant professor...and there are a lot of hot chicks in it.

Rice is supposedly hard to get into actually, the dropout/suicide rate is quite ridiculously high as well. I personally have met over 10 rice dropouts who are now at the University of Houston.

You and Whose Army: Damn dude - thats some hella street - I'd personally be intimidated/disgusted just walking down it. Have you ever seen the illustrious Natalie Portman in person?

Generally no. A lot of schools with tougher standards are in fact not party schools. Mine is not much of a party school, but there's still a ton of stuff to do. Look at the higher end of the USNews ranking thing...

...which in fact you should have for the 2003 school year! Its a good way to get a jump start on exactly what colleges want, what range they like their students to be in SAT-wise and class rank-wise, etc. It was invaluable to me when I was researching colleges for transfer, and I ended up at one I really like.

If you really really wanna get into a Stanford or something, load up on activities and look into the specific school's requirements. They may make you take AP classes or something, so prepare for it. If you dont really care about where you go, just go to a middle of the road state school, but keep in mind that there's a solid chance its a party school.

Princetonreview.com ranks colleges in dozens of different ways, so check it out.
