One tip that helped me a lot was to not have a "dream school" that you are super committed to. You dont have to go to the best school you can possibly attend, its often better to take a step or two down for the sake of scholarships or other financial considerations. My scho has tuition of 45k a year (private) but I dont pay a cent because of the psat. Not sure how many people here want a small school but if you do take these things into consideration. Debt sucks.
college acceptence?

I managed to make it into an alright school which was really hard and completely unexpected.
My family thinks I've been failing out of highschool since my freshman year but man have I been kicking ass and I might tell them at some point.
Also this is my first post if I'm remembering correctly so Hi everyone

Got into Kenyon and Macalester with academic scholarships at 25k and 16k per year respectively. Super pumped about that because regardless of whether I get into my top choices now I know I can go to an awesome college and come out debt free. Actually I'm ecstatic. Like I legitimately worked hard in high school and it actually paid off. YAY! :D

I would watch out dude. For profit university = big loans and longer term problems. They're not terrible, so if you've done your research and you think it's good than go for it. Just be aware.

I would amend that by saying that if you want to make videogames, one of the only for-profit universities the industry takes seriously is DigiPen.

2ccc usually ends up taking way more time than expected because the infrastructure tends to suck ass
Really depends on your community college and course credit equivalencies, intended major, and of course work drive. I just transferred to UCLA this past year after 2 years of CC and also accepted at Berkeley, Vanderbilt, and USC. I personally went to 3 different community colleges since sometimes class timing/credit transferring/maxing out the courses I was allowed to take just to get it done. If your number 1 goal in CC is to get out of there, and make friends who share the same goal, you should be fine in California at least because of the transfer agreements with TOP UCs

I chose my major to be pre-mathematics without knowing what that is. Is that a regular math major? Is it some sort of pre requisite before starting your math major? I can't seem to find too much information on it so I'm a bit worried, can somebody clear it up for me, UCSB.

This is my plan.
I have been out of school and in the work force for a couple years now. What I'm wondering is, do those schools consider "extra curricular activities" in the same way that schools do for non transfer (high school) students? I'm trying to figure out how to swing CC and work financially and I'm wondering if it is worth it to quit and get a more flexible job so that I can do things that would be considered "extra curricular" in the eyes of college administrators -- GPA and test scores aside of course.
I remember college admissions in high school and it seemed ridiculous to me how much emphasis colleges put on extra curricular activities.
I will be shooting for Electrical or Civil Engineering, depending on my math aptitude.

kuestifGot accepted into U of Minnesota, U Wisconsin-Madison and Marquette U.
Not really sure where I want to go to blow 80k yet. Anyone else looking at these schools?
Hey those are the ones I applied for when I was applying for schools l0l
Depends on what you like, what are you most interested in/studying/environment you like?
The U and Madison have comparably crazy-large campus life, Madison might be a bit easier in the social department because it has a bit stronger sports culture/party culture while the U has a shit load of groups, activities, and really interesting ways to get involved. I just prefer the culture at UMN way more, its a lot more "be who you wanna be" rather than "where are we drinking tonight." Though honestly you can get blackout drunk and rowdy at either school.
This is from my (almost) 2 years of experience at the U and my somewhat limited experience visiting Madison often.
Marquette is basically going to be the private school feeling which you may or may not be familiar with. I went to a private school from 7th-12th grade and I knew it wasn't for me so the U has been a breathe of fresh air, absolutely love it. Academics are great, facilitates are great. Marquette will be hella more expensive (unless you're not from Minne or Wisco, then its pretty comparable) but you'll get a more personalized experience. Though you can still get that same personalized exp at public universities, you just have to work at it a bit more.
Hope any of this helps.
