Re: Who's gotten into college this year?

I applied to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, DePaul University, Loyola University Chicago, and University of Michigan Ann Arbor. I got accepted to all four, and even got scholarship money from both private schools, but I'm most likely going to UIUC.

I'd say come to DePaul if you really like the city. I think DePaul is great. If you ever want to come visit just message me, I'll show you around and stuff...

An economist is an individual who studies, develops, and applies theories and concepts from economics, and who writes about economic policy. Within this field of study there are many sub-fields, ranging from the broad philosophical theories to the focused study of minutiae within specific markets, macroeconomics analysis, microeconomics analysis or financial analysis, involving analytical methods and tools such as econometrics, statistics, economics computational models, financial economics, financial mathematics and mathematical economics. Adam Smith is perhaps the most famous economist, as the founder of modern economics.

.....Or so says Wikipedia.....


As for me...University of Minnesota Third year student...

I know what economics is about, I want to know what majors of the field can actually do in real life. Like, specifically.

If you're thinking about a year in Community College, I'd highly, highly suggest it. I know I was a bit of a screw-off in high school, and a year of CC really got me prepared for college. It's a whole different ball-game, especially when you figure out how much you're paying per credit hour.

Actually I took an econ class and our final was a presentation on ANYTHING related to economics.

Pretty much everything can be related to economics. You can do pretty much anything that involves money.

Oh man. I went through that whole ordeal last year. It was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. Good luck everyone and congrats to anyone that was accepted already. And no worries about not getting accepted...sometimes there is just no way to impress those people.

Or, you know, he could just get Kenzya to take him...considering they hang out and all.

Re: Who's gotten into college this year?

Albany, heh. I know a few people who are going there. I really have no clue yet, but I'm only in my junior year, so I guess I have a little bit of time left.

Re: Who's gotten into college this year?

Also.. what's the difference between college and university? =\

A college is a part of a university. Dedman College is the liberal arts area of SMU. Then there's the college of engineering, the college of the arts/math/whathaveyou. Some places they're called the "schools of [whatever]", too.

The term is also used synonymously with university (at least in America) when one says "I'm going to college."

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. But I live on campus in the dorms, and to the best of my knowledge, Kenzya doesn't. Just a different view on things.

I was all set to prove you wrong until I googled Boston College and saw that it was indeed a university =/

It's a really nice school, I agree, and definitely my #2 choice. I doubt I'll be going there, but there's still a chance.

I've been to the school and seen the dorms, but maybe I'll come down one day with Kenzya if I've got the time. BTW, Kenzya does commute every day.

Re: Who's gotten into college this year?

I'm a junior and I still have no clue where I want to apply

What I need to figure out is whether I want to stay near home or go to another city. There are plenty of nice colleges in Boston, but I'm not really sure whether I want to stay.
