Yes and no. I'm majoring in business management. On the one hand, opening a business is what I want, and it's nice having that goal set for myself. However, if that fails horribly I have no idea what I want to do as a back up...

It's cheap. It has an excellent Honors program. It's isolated from urban filth and poor people. Fresh air.
And best of all, it never gets too hot. I can't be productive if I'm sweating. It gets really cold, but I can always put on more layers and they heat the buildings well.
Absolutely. It's a great feeling knowing that everything I'm putting effort into, and plan to put effort into, is building toward my set goals.

Must be nice [/jealous]. So I assume you want to be a professor eventually?
With me I put a ton of effort into school, but don't really know why. I really do like what I study so that has something to do with it, but other than that I can't think of a rational reason for wanting to do well in school as grades, so I hear, don't really matter in the 'real world'.
As an aside, if I have the opportunity to get an undergraduate paper published, should I take it?
I need to find a good school with a good music scene in an urban area. Which is NYU but thanks to fucking rich snobs who go their, it is like $47,000. I looked into Boston University and it was like $47-50 Thousand.
Zeph,your cousin goes to Loyola, right? Is it a good school? High ranks?
And MasterOLighting, DePaul is generally a lame school from what I have heard.

Yes, a professor in Latin and Classics.
It's good for an urban school. I don't know much about it but I'll give you my cousin's AIM.

Xavier has a decent music school and it's close to the city, but meh.
I don't think you'd fit in here tbh

It would certainly look good on your application if you're planning to apply to grad school. Graduate admissions committees like that sort of thing. Presenting at a conference is also good.

I finished 2nd in my high school class. My GPA was something like 4.56 on a weighted scale. Somewhere between an A+/A average. I had a 32 on my ACT. You're going to want to be over 30 to even have a shot at either NU or UofC. And in what sense is DePaul supposed to be lame? It's a large school with lots of resources and a variety of good programs. The social aspect shouldn't be a big factor
Stop being so fucking stuck up. This is why the rest of the country doesn't like New Englanders. Besides, poor people are great. I would so much rather be around poor people than rich people. Poor people add color to cities, literally and figuratively. I'm guessing you prefer white people though.

Yeah, tbh I hate Cinnci. It was dirty and boring when I was there. I have a taste for bigger cities like Chicago, New York, San Fran, Paris etc. I know a guy who applied to Xavier and said it was nice.
What looks good while going into undergrad school?

Same except I'm a history major. I've been vaguely considering publishing or government work, but I'm not even half done yet so we'll see what happens.

Yeah, the city is a shithole but Xavier is one of the bright spots of the city. I met some great people there. I forgot you lived here for a bit.
Xavier is actually doing some MAJOR expansion. It is going to be nice as fuck when it is finished.
My PSAT score put me at a 27 which is good since I am little under a year before I take the test. I know I don't present myself as an "educated fuck" on this board, but I do good in school and it very serious. I want to go to a school that has academic qualities to it that surpass a normal school, a DePaul is simply another school. I am sure DePaul has a great social life. I know a ton of hot chicks who decided to go there, but quite frankly, I don't need a school with a great social life because I party a lot in school as it is. I know what parties are like and I dig 'em but I don't need to have kegs partys past 18. Therefore, UChicago, Northwestern and Loyola seem to appeal to me in the Chicago area and NYU and UBoston appeal to me beyond. I am solid in Math but I am not extremely strong or anything, and I feel that is whats sets me apart from being within the top 5 of my school rankings. If I apply to school for journalism/lit/history major will they really take those other areas into consideration? Will my activities cover those? Sorry, if I ask all of these but I just want to know.

I visited the business school at U of Chicago once. It was fucking impressive.
There is no fucking way I'd ever get into the school unless I got my GMAT score up to a 700 or so

The school is amazing, including the way it looks and everything. The social life is dead from what I have heard.

Nothing wrong with poor people. It's the correlation of poverty with the crime rate that worries me. And as mutantllama stated, Maine is full of poor people, but in a rural area it doesn't factor as much into crime. And it has nothing to do with race. Black people can move to Maine and live in the rural areas, and they won't commit any more crimes than all the poor white people here. It's the urban context that promotes devious activity.
I grew up in the suburbs, and it's much more refreshing to go to school in a rural area. It's unfair to call me selfish because I feel more comfortable here.

Yeah I think I might do it. In one of the paper's I wrote for a film studies class my professor encouraged me to revise it and enter into an undergraduate contest, with the goal of getting it published. I have been offered this opportunity before but I think I might actually look into it seriously this time.

I'll probably fall into publishing as well, I really can't imagine what else I could conceivably do with an English degree aside from teach, which is out of the question given that I hate people, or writing, which is also out of the question given that I don't write.
And yes, I graduate this coming Spring. I'll probably just work some kind of manual labor job for a while once I graduate and then try to transition into a 'career.'
