College guide books
Posted Sunday July 8 2007, 3:45 am
What is/are the best college guidebook/s? For example, Princeton Review and Fiske? I'm looking for reviews of colleges (I know I can look at the collegeboard or princeton review sites, but i'm interested in a book,) statistics and also how to get accepted (what those colleges look for, etc.) Basically an all-in-one college book (or if thats not possible, the best of all of the side-categories.)
I hope this made sense, I'm about to go to bed so I'm a little tired, but I'm sure whatever info you guys give me will be great! Thanks in advance!

BROWN
Posted Friday July 6 2007, 11:09 pm
I really want to go to Brown U. in Rhode Island. I read once that theres about a 10% chance of getting in. I'm only going to be a sophomore in high school in the fall but I'm pretty interested in colleges already. The only problem is that I dont think I am smart enough to get in. I get A's and B's and I think my GPA is 3.4, but it might be like 3.5 or 3.6 but I don't know for sure. (Our school doesn't do our GPA's until senior year I think so I calulated online one day and thats what I came up with.) I'm not too involved with school, I'm going out for a sport next year, don't know if I'll make it though, and then I might join a club or two.
If I continue to get all A's and B's is there a possibility of getting in by the t...

I am going to attend University of Eastern Shore for my first year. I am also going to be living in a dorm. Are there going to be like co-ed bathrooms, wild parties, and just really random and awkward things going to happen while living in a dorm. I heard living in a dorm in college can be really fun. But I also heard that like people video tape themselves having sex with or without the permission of the other person. Also that there are wild parties. Is this true? Um also what is the diference between a Delta and an AKA???

Johns Hopkins

Pardon me, as I am completely clueless. If anyone else knows more about transfers, please help me.
Is it possible for me to transfer from a normal college like, say, Rutgers to JHU after freshman year?
Does it not matter to get into a good college? because freshman year is when you have to take all your prerequisites anyway and theres no point in attending a good college because of all the pressure of high scores (in my case, i dont have good anything) when you can just transfer, right?
They require a GPA above a 3.0 and there is no minimum SAT/ACT score, whatever that mea...

Essay: using movies as examples?
Posted Saturday June 23 2007, 5:40 pm
I was wondering if it's a good idea to use movies as examples in the essay, as long as it fits the prompt you're writing about? Or should we stay away from movies and just stick with literary, historical, and personal experiences?

ESSAY: EXAMPLE brainstorm thread
Hey guys... Since I always have a TON of difficulty coming up with examples to use in the essay, I thought we could brainstorm some general ones together that can be used for different topics. (we did this in my prep class)
I always run out of time because I spend too much time thinking about what to write... I hope other people can benefit from this topic too! Hopefully once we get a good list I can compile and put it together in an easy-to-use format for each of us to have and review!
So, to start... I've usually been able to use To Kill a Mockingbird in my essays...
