I'm technically at college now, but not 'that sort of college'. I want to go to NJMS, but it will be hard to get in, so I'm thinking about Imperial College London, and St George's in England, which will be equally as difficult to get into.

As you can probably guess, I want to do medicine, but I'm also interested in cosmology, and astrophysics, but we are taking the new IAS Physics, and that has particle physics in it, rather than cosmology, so, I wouldn't have much experience. I'm also interested in acting, but I wouldn't take drama at college, I just spend my free time on the Subway, chasing auditions. Rolling Eyes

I'm still a sophomore high school student, but I'm already preparing for college. I'm also from the Philippines, just like black bird, and I would probably study in Ateneo de Manila or La Salle University. But if my parents find a way for me to study in the US, I'll probably study there.

My mom wants me to take up Accountacy first, then Law so i can be a commercial lawyer [ according to her, if i insist on taking law, this is probably the "safest", just in case i don't pass the board exams. *eyeroll* } -- I don't mind that. Or Political Science, then Law. Or Psychology. Clearly, I want to be a lawyer someday. Being called "attorney" thrills me.

Blahhhhh I had my audition today for University of East Anglia. I was shitting bricks! I was so nervous. But the lecturer seemed to like my script so... fingers crossed.

Oh yeah and a couple of people are saying they want to apply for Oxford and Cambridge -tis not allowed. Oxbridge candidates can only apply for one. Weird huh? And it's HARD. Couple of people I know that go there tell me it's... not the most fun choice of places either.

well, you can apply to both, just neither will accept you, so it a waste of 2 of your options, and with only 5, that's not clever! I knew someone who only applied to Oxbridge... Sad

I have a scholarship to SVA in New York.
My illness has been keeping me back. :/
Which really, really brings me down.
But in the meantime, I've been taking
an online study course just to keep up on things.

I'm in college now, as a senior. Right now, I have one more "final" and then I get to go home to start Winter Break. I'm off for a month. Very Happy

I still have to wait a little while until I can go to college. I'm halfway through my junior year in high school and I've already got it all planned out.
Fall of 2010, I will attend the University of Minnesota, Duluth and graduate with a Bachellor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Musical Theatre by 2014.

Eponine:
I'm applying to Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Tufts, Columbia, and University of Indianapolis. I'm pretty sure I can get into U of I. The others, probably not, I don't think my grades or good enough. I'm also thinking about going to school abroad in France, even if only for a year.
dude.
what are your grades and extracurricular activities like?
that's an insane list.

I'm floored.

so, if I get into the normal university, which I think I should be able to, since I get pretty good grades and go to a tough school, I'm into the art program.

that isn't the school I really want to go to, but it's not really a safety school either, it's in between.
and I was afraid I wouldn't get into anything besides schools that'd accept anyone who turned up with any kind of portfolio as long as they had it. I've never really had formal art training, so I've been totally freaked.

so yeah. guh.

Unis I've applied to are: St Andrews, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Nottingham and Exeter.

So far I've got an offer from Aberdeen which is my insurance choice, but it's a pretty cool uni - 500 years old!

Yeah, I'm still a sophmore in high school, but I plan on receiving my MLS (Masters in Library Science). I'm stupid and I still have no idea what kind of schooling I need to get that.

I'm planning on applying to an english school maybe, but when i'm done with my a-levels in england, my mother is planning on moving to Ohio.
huh.
But i've always had an idea of studying abroad. I'd love to go to school in the US.
I'd like to go to UNLV, just because.
Although I want to go to the best school for the options I want to take.
I want to do creative writing, and Photography.
Photography is my main focus though. Other things can come after.
For me to study in america I have to get my f-1 visa, blah blah, so it'd take a while for it to be sorted out.

My major is Deaf Studies. I want to become a Sign Language interperter because I understand what Deaf and hard of hearing children go through me being hard of hearing. This semester I'm taking ASL 2 and two English classes. One for reading and one for writing.

I applied for University not too long ago. I applied for Psychology, Drama, and English at the University of Windsor. I'm still not sure what I want to go into, though.
