Mathematical Induction will be the death of me
I'm in my first year and I'm still not sure if the program I'm in is what I wanna do

Yeah, I have to take Organizational Behaviour and it has nothing to do with our program. I'm almost tempted to just skip that class, and just show up for the tests.

Literally did this today in my discrete math class

I wouldn't unless you have the resources (money, housing, amazing HS grades) to do so. If you want to save you're better off going to CC. Even that, there are a ton of state public schools that are great with financial aid, you just have to ask. If it's a personal thing, just consider your options. It not like high school where you'd be "a year behind". Have a plan if you end up doing it.

I am so unmotivated with school I've switched my major 3 times and I'm still not really passionate about any of it lol. Nursing was close, but eh. It's not even that I'm lazy, I just feel stuck and it's so depressing omg.

I feel you. I'm still in HS (graduating in May), but I don't have a ton of money to waste switching majors and losing credits and etc. I really need to know what I love (music management/corporation) but I need to make a lot of money. I'm also not trying to leave college 100k in debt.

You'll definitely want to save as much money as you can before you head off to college. Taking a year off won't hurt your chances at all. Unless you have tons of scholarships or $$$$, I'd recommend starting off at CC to get all your basics out of the way and then transfer to university. You'll end up with less/no debt by the time you graduate.

I took a semester off just to work and save money and have no regrets about it. I'll be graduating this year debt free because of all the money I saved + 529 plan from childhood.

I got waitlisted to my top choice, NYU I'm really disappointed. And that pretty much gurantees I won't get into Yale or Columbia come Tuesday. Ugh. So mad.

Every week I tell myself grad school will get easier and it doesn't.

I did half a gap year and it was terrible. All I did was work and rot in my bedroom because all my friends left for college. I saved some money, but not even enough to cover half the cost of tuition/rooming for a single semester. College is actually amazing, I wouldn't put it off.

Yep. And I also agree with Allie

I never did a gap year so I can't speak with experience but I have a few friend who did and hey regret it. They did nothing their gap year except work which didn't give them enough money for anything other than a few expensive books and they regret it because while we are all graduating in 2016 they will have to wait an extra year.

Though sometimes it's not an option. If you had the choice, go right away

I remember I wanted to go to Boston University so bad I had the tests scores for it too but because my native language is not English (though I obviously manage the language well I mean how come I did so well in the SAT ) they required me to take the TOEFL test which was administered in another city and it was such a hassle to take it.

Anyway I love my college now but I wish colleges did not do that. If someone passes the SAT or does well in an American high school that should be proof enough that s/he is proficient in English.

got my acceptance for UC Davis and Berkeley last week

I just need to hear back from Howard and then I'll be good

For me so far:

Accepted
Tulane University - $23,000 a year scholarsgip
Loyola New Orleans - $23,000 a year
Middle Tennessee State University - $5,000 a year
Belmont University - $6,000 a year
Fordham University - $19,000 a year
Spring Hill College - $28,000 a year

Denied
USC (that was my weakest application, I did it the day it was due )

Waitlisted
NYU Still ****ing pressed.

Waiting From
Yale
Columbia

Can't wait to add two more schools to my rejected list

Stern>UCLA>NYU. Tische trumps all in film.

Honestly NYU CAS is becoming like a safety school for many kids. It's dropping in rankings and it's undergraduate program is sub-par.

Congrats sis!

I was accepted into both last year

Me to Universities, Bitch Better Have My MONEY

I'm actually considering requesting deferral from a school I got into so I can save coins for it because it's expensive as ****.
