thx guys probably wont go there, unless i get alot of financial aid ill probably end up at Notre Dame

 

[TrueBlue03]

Congrats!!! That was my first choice... but sadly i didnt get in

yep man....very very expensive like my school.

Saw that you posted in the other thread....Use your hispanic genes to your advantage to get financial aid...thats what i did and my school costs just as much. Schools like this love diversity.

 

[eliteJAE]

trueblue, youre right man......i just figured out i could check my financial aid award online.....and i got a full ride LOL i cant believe any of this, i worked my ass off for so long and it actually paid off

 

[TrueBlue03]

hey man since you live in cali, was it any at all hard to pass emissions??? any tips on passing em, i guess if i go to stanford ill take my stang, but i dunno if itll pass emissions

PS are you attending UC Santa Clara????

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

Cali emmisions suck, good luck.
Out of state tuition is hard-core, good luck. What are the conditions of the full-ride? Length?
I was pretty stoked too when i got into every UC in Cali

Stanford is quite an elite school. Notre Dame is no pushover either. Either one of those schools you need some brains to get into. Use the hell out of this opportunity. I'm sure you will if you busted your ass to get into there.

right on, keep the grades up. Just remember it's less about reading and more about studying, if you read everything assigned in college you wouldn't be able to retain squat. Just study your ass of for every test no matter the size, and have others proof-read everything you write - TA's are what you're relying on and they don't like to correct grammer/sntax, professors just lecture.

yea good luck in cali for emissions...to be on the safe side, you're going to need that stock H.

I'm at Santa Clara University.... a smaller private jesuit university. Just dont get carried away with partying. lol
Although its fun being social, its hard to draw the line on where study time is needed...before you know it, you'll be everywhere doing things with everyone, shrugging off studying till 4am...espeically in cali in the bay area. Either way, the first 2 years are a learning/"break-in" experience i guess.

Congrats! Great school, have fun and keep up on your studies!

I'm only speaking from both community college and UC experience, but the TA's are who you need to figure out as far as grading. Often interjecting stuff explicitly from the prof's lecture helps, but the TA's are who grade your stuff. The hardest classes are the one's just big enough so that you have 2 diff TA's and not big enough so that you don't have sections (separate times where portions of class meet w/ ta's where the TA teaches for short time). W/out a section you don't really have an idea what they prefer or want, you have to go off of what the prof's expects - which isn't always what the TA does.
