Damn, same here. Especially /fit/

Is UCLA hard to get into

CLASSES HAVENT EVEN STARTED YET YOU FAGGOT. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

>>6954364
No. If you're an impoverished gay Muslim from Somalia who sucked Obama's cock and got aids you'll get in with a 3.0. If you need to check your privilege, especially if you're a white male, lel good luck ;)

>>6954435
Lel
What about if I'm international and will pay full price?

Also is berkeley the same thing

Which other good public schools should I look into?

>>6954364
no, but its not a very good school
it's a mediocre regional school.

I'd prob choose CSULA over it

davis, stanford up in norcal are nationally ranked though, actually ranked over harvard.

Davis, is actually the same school as LA, all the UC's are supposed to be the same thing. all cost about the same, but UCD has a little more in the way of standing, and employment assistance.

UCLA has more "activities" though. some sort of "rivalry" with the trojans of UCSD. actually its a fake rivalry but they pretend to have alot of fun with it..

>>6954364
I thought it was but then I got in and came here and realized what is actually happening.

Its in LA everyone who is nobody wants to be here. Mainly girls who think they can model and beta faggots who wish to waifu them blah blah so a billion people apply every year. Most those applications are shit and are rejected.

Since so many people apply here because above reasons UCLA has a low acceptance %.

It still requires solid grades, test scores, and essay but looking around some of the people seem to be struggling with basic math courses and derp shit but I am in the sciences so its probably like that everywhere

b.s. thank you breaking bad for making chemistry /fa/ so all the plebs want to be like me

>>6954444
>not a very good school
Wot? It's ranked as second best public behind Berkeley.

Also I'm not necessarily looking for a Californian uni, do you have any recommendations out of Cali? Stanford is too hard to get into; I'm a B student with some A's and some C's. I compensate with great test scores and stuff but Ivy Leagues are out of my league huehue (except Cornell and Brown maybe?)

>trojans of UCSD
Don't you mean USC?
Is USC good?

>>6954446
Oh I get it. So the low acceptance rate is just because a lot of asshats apply for fun.

>>6954439
nah, Berkeley is better ranked.

berkeley, davis, stanford = top tier right now

san diego, Los angles, riverside = downward slump, having money issues and aren't really that well recognized anymore just regionally

meaning that "if you happen to live in thi area, thene here are a few kinda okay schools you can go to. and you get this much of a discount, and it's easier for you to get in etc.

you pay a "resident tuition" which is roughly $5-10k a quarter depending on program

>>6954459
Depends on the source you used but it almost always seems that Berkeley is 1 and UCLA is 2. It also depends on the programs for the other schools but its almost always berkeley and ucla on top

>>6954458
what country are you from?

if i were an international student i would cross california off my map. it' not all too desirable.

i know the UK has some badass schools that are cake to get into.

yeah, USC w/e i never really cared, i think i went to like one game and that was becuase they gave me a free ticket one year (i was never a USC, or ucla student.

i'd look at other states.

but i started my under grad in 2005. some of my degrees on the wall i paid almost half of what kids are paying today. price hikes would have killed me.

chapman is decent i heard, they're out in orange county, south west to LA county and generally a better area than LA.

A lot of the people living in LA will tell you about how awesome it is, but it isn't.

drug usage is ramapant even in the "high end areas" almost everyone consumes marijuana, or some other party drug (sizzurp or w/e) and brag about it. i just hate that whole scene

>>6954459
I would say that UCI is a better school than UCSB and UCSD. And not only that but the location is prime, Irvine is pretty much an entire city dedicated to business.

>>6954458
Honestly the only schools you should apply to in California are Stanford, Cal, USC, UCLA, and UCI. Ranked in that order.

>>6954495
If you're a science/engineer person CIT is damn near God tier as well.

>>6954487
UCI was okay. i had a few professors who did their doctorate their back when they were cheap.

UCSB is the ultimate beach/party school. i doubt that an international student is looking for that.

the real issue with uci, ucr, ucsd, usd is its asian heavy. and asians tend to be real click oriented and you might have a hard time since even asian professors buy into some race superiority type nationalistic crap.

ivy league it up though.

"i can't get in" sounds like an excuse

why would you pass up a real school for a UC im mean seriously......you're going o walk past the ferrari dealership not even looking at them and go straight for the pre-owned hondas?

i mean there is nothing wrong with these degrees, i have a few from public schools

but its not holy fuck thats a rolls royce/harvard degree type shit

>>6954510
No shit brah. As cliché as it sounds shoot for the stars. Get awesome grades, make connections with jiggy niggas, be /fa/ as fuck and have bitches suck your dick. It's really that simple.

>>6954510
What about USC?

basically what you're asking

>hey i just got my drivers license and i want a car, how does a used toyota camry sound? (UCLA)

well how about a ferrari modena? you can afford it, you have a drivers license

>nah nah i can't handle the horse power, what is better a toyota corolla or a toyota camry? or should i get a honda accord or a nissan altima?

well they're pretty much all the same, but have you actually seriously looked at the ferrari modena? sounds like you can handle it, it's just an entry level ferrari it's not their f1 race car, you can't handle that yet (PHD, or harvard law) but nobody expects you to jump into that yet.

>well i guess it doesn't have to be something used (california) maybe a lease? (top ranked schools outside of california, MIT, texas AM)

why not just try to BUY the ferrari, worst thing that can happen is the sales person says they can't sell it to you for the negotiated price/give you a decent apr on your loan. then you can seriously go and look at those used japanese cars if you want

>>6954484
>what country are you from
European, not UK, but it's not relevant because it's not India nor China

>the UK
I honestly like America better. Apart from Oxbridge (which are out of my league), I'm not really interested. Do you consider Cambridge or Oxford as "cake to get into"?

>cross california off my map
Why though?
SoCal, alright, but what about north california?
What's the problem with the state?

>drug usage
I don't care. I don't mind potheads, they're fun as long as they don't fall into the hippie bullshit.
I don't consume party drugs but I'm not against them at all.

>>6954495
>Stanford
Dude I said I was a B student. Stanford is my absolute dream school but I can outright cross it off my list.
>Cal
Perhaps I'll have a chance.
>USC
Yeah. My problem is, it's extremely expensive.

Is it worth the cost? I mean are the professors, facilities and all top notch? Networking opportunities?
>UCLA
Yeah will do
>UCI
I didn't know Irvine was good. It's not ranked high up.
Btw planning on getting into a hard science. Something like Bio, Chem or Neuro if it's available.

>>6954510
>party school
If the academics are meh, I'm not paying 30k for that. But is the network good?
>asian heavy
I'm European... Will I be at a disadvantage?
>ivy league
>i can't get in" sounds like an excuse

Dude. B students who aren't legacies do not get into Ivy Leagues. Ever. Even less so since I also have some C's (not a lot mind you, they don't stand out) on my older transcripts.
High test scores don't mean shit if my high school grades were not top notch.
>real school
I would love to go to an Ivy League but none of them will accept me.
Brown and Cornell maybe as I said. But Princeton, Harvard...? No chance.

On the other hand, got any opinion on Duke and UNC? I like North Carolina.

>>6954550
Cool comparison.

I will apply to Ivies but am not expecting to get in; read my above message.
>MIT
No chance either, it's harder to get in than, say, Columbia. I'll still apply but...

>>6954550
How high and/or drunk are you..?

>>6954565
thats called an analogy
also it's like 3 am

seriously, you're looking at california regional lists for public schools

that is like 5 filters of course UCLA is going to be at the top, it's the only fucking school that meets the criteria.

i would seriously sit down and look at PRIVATE NATIONALLY ranked schools from a RELIABLE source, if it's from a public college than throw the list away. if its from a book that you have to pay for, throw it away colleges pay to be in those lists (made obvious if you've been to enough schools, kind of like companies that pay jim cramer to appear on mad money to push their stock)

>>6954574
>reliable source
Such as?

>depressed edgy teen
>dress like a shitty rat
>find /fa/

>start copping shitty graphic tees and HM jeans
>finally have a mental break down because hairline is gone and I look like shit
>look like a shitty rat again and no money to buy new wardrobe(im over that cardigan pussy shit)

>>6954566
california is low on money, they have been raising the tuition exponentially. especially on foreign students USC is expensive becuase it's a private school, but with the amount of money the state of california is going to charge you to attend UCLA, as an international student, it's going to be a wash.

San diego is a bit cheaper to live in so, you might save a bit of cash going there

>walking around in sick fit
>dont know anyone aside from friends i never see
>catch lots of looks but i dont know if this is because im just outlandish or aesthetic as fuck or both

living in bumfuck no where in western canada where no one has any sense of fashion at all past mall/h&m tier is suffering

>>6954484
Which schools in the UK?

I'm in my second year at USC, hate that shithole, even though everyone worships it, and am thinking of doing something else

>>6954588
don't live in the UK, but i heard that most students in the united kingdom opt out of the last few years of "college" aka junior and senior year of college

disqualifying them from higher end "unis" aka what we call colleges.

i know its confusing.

I never told this kid to go to USC, i am telling him to go to a real college.

but you know teens are, they think they know everything and once they're set on something they will ignore all advice and warnings and experiences of others.

for some reason this kid wants to blow tens of thousands in liquid assets for a fucking public school in a cash-strapped state no idea why.

maybe someone told him somewhere in his country that CALIFORNIA IS WHERE YOU WANT TO GO!!!!! and he bought into it lol

>>6951051

haha man fuckin kebabs after a night out are the real fuckin deal man

ucla blows major dick. its full of ugly asian hoes and beta frat guys

westwood is pretty much the worst place in central la

>>6954566
lol if you have B's and C's, you're probably not going to get into any of the schools you listed.

>>6954671
you're wrong.

i did horribly in high school. i was a delinquent little shit that didn't even take the SAT or ACT

and im the only one in this thread with a college degree, not only one but many.
and no debt.

don't let these smart ass high school guidance counselers deter you guys from your goals

these assholes sit there and talk shit as if anybody except the captain of the football team is a failure at life.

you know what?

i walked into a local autozone wearing DIOR HOMME, and i saw that asshole football captain with the same piece of shit 1976 primered el camino he was "restoring" 8-9 years ago in high school, and he didn't go to college. despite how much shit my guidance and career counselors talked on me for my grades and course choices

thats with autoshop being the majority of my senior year, fucking MBA on my wall. everyone told me it was not possible to even get into a college let alone be here

>>6954444
Sieg fuck off, everytime u open your mouth shit flows out

>>6954688
This sounds so cliched. But good for you if that's true.


The situation is though, is that the California schools are infamous for being tough on OoS students as well as international students. If you think you can get into Stanford with B's and C's then you are wrong. I know of many people with > 4.3 GPAs, 2300 SATs, and Varsity Athletes who did not get in.

Honestly, if you're an international student, I'd go private. State schools have way too many plebs

>>6954688
>delinquent
You mean you got your fat fedora wearing ass beaten because you were caught smelling some girls panties?

>>6954688
Unless that MBA was from Columbia, Stanford GSB, HBS, Wharton or Booth not interested.


DeVry and Strayer doesn't count kids.

Op story doesnt make sense... how do u start off in ucla n end up in simi valley... op actually goes to cal lu

>>6954566

I went to UCI. It was ok, physical and natural sciences are pretty good and competitive. Social life kinda blows. The school is still coming up, it was ranked #1 in schools that were established in the last 50 years.

But like others are saying, if youre out of state or international go to a smaller private school. I went to one for grad school and I had a better time and the campus atmosphere was much better.

>>6954835
True I did the opposite. I came from a small private school then to UCLA for grad school. It's pretty depressing here. Classes are so competitive that people are always on edge about to snap.

Private schools are better for community and learning. At public schools you are pretty much just mixed in with a crowd

>>6954835
Private schools dont have out of state tuition and actually care about your progress. At public schools the only email I get are about paying them more money

>>6954219
I go to Dartmouth, I'm from NY, I kind of miss that. Everyone here wears J. Crew and Polo with LL Bean Duck boots.

>>6954661
lel im in total agreement even tho many asian hoes were on my dick

and dtd is so beta i was mortified

transferred out of there bruh

>>6954566

>Dude. B students who aren't legacies do not get into Ivy Leagues. Ever.
>On the other hand, got any opinion on Duke and UNC? I like North Carolina.
I go to Dartmouth, didn't get into UNC-CH, I know a kid at Harvard who was waitlisted at Duke. It's a crapshoot. Also fuck off about that legacy shit, that's such a small percentage of students.

>>6950519
>american
>calling it uni

>>6954170
Oh.
So fedoras are a matter of hatred cross-board too?
You know, we're not that different... Deep down you may even want to fuck a horse

>>6954586
Honestly, money isn't a problem as long as tuition does not exceed 60-62k per year. After that it becomes too much.
>the state of california is going to charge you to attend UCLA
Wait, do you mean I'll be paying my tuition at UCLA + a "fee" for internationals? How much would that cost in total?

>>6954835
Not sure if I'll apply to UCI honestly, there are a bunch of other colleges I'm interested in and I won't send 20+ applications.
>smaller private school
Would Duke count as that? Or Brown?

>>6955091
You got into Duke but not UNC? How is that even possible? I thought UNC was rather predictable.
>small percentage
Not of internationals, I think.

>>6954606
You misinterpreted what I said.

I'm not "decided" about California. There are good unis there so I'll apply, it's as simple as that. I can't choose where I'll go since I might get rejected everywhere.

>go to a real college
You didn't give me any examples though.
The Ivy League is mostly out of reach (let's be realistic bro, the acceptance rates are decreasing and I'm not competitive).
I'm interested in Duke, NYU, JHU, and a bunch of public schools like UNC, UVA, UIUC.
I could give you the entire list if that can help. But I'm not ignoring all advice, not at all

>wants to blow tens of thousands
>for a fucking public school
Alright, even if we disregard California, are public schools in the USA that bad?
>he bought into it
Nobody told me that, Stanford just happens to be my dream college so I looked at other Californian unis.

>>6954688
>horribly in high school
When did you graduate?
It's literally impossible to get into any top 20 college with shitty grades. You're aware of that, right?

What college did you attend if you don't mind me asking?

>>6955440
Yeah I answered you, see >>6955317

>>6954566
>On the other hand, got any opinion on Duke and UNC? I like North Carolina.
I know a kid at Harvard who was waitlisted at Duke, and I'm currently at Dartmouth but got rejected at UNC-CH. It's a crapshoot, and I'm not legacy.

>>6955317
>You got into Duke but not UNC
I said I know someone who got into harvard and not Duke. I got into Dartmouth and not UNC.

>>6955465
Oh my bad, sorry.

Dartmouth is small and rural though, is that a problem? How are the academics?

Do you think a B student could ever hope to go there?

>>6955442
My b

>>6950519
you sound like such a fuccboi

>>6955473
It's tough, everyone is really friendly though, and people for the most part want you to succeed. It's really sporty, lots of varsity athletes, that helps with admission tremendously. Good SAT scores are also super important, like 2100+. I came from New York, so I guess its a bit of a change but I like it. Sorry for the all over the place reply.

>>6955606
>tough
The rural part you mean?
Do all undergrads live on campus?

Thanks for replying, np

>UCSD freshman

>move in
>dorm party

>tfw my best friend's cousin was in the same car as me and I found this out at a frat party the next day

Ive been fuckin inebriated erryday here it's dope

Also ppl love my Patrik Ervell tee tho

>>6955654
Undergrad housing is guaranteed for all 4 years, but not everyone chooses to capitalize on that. And when I said tough I meant the academics, but I'm sure its not super different from many other colleges.

>>6955671
Oh that's good, so the rural part is not a problem.

If one has high SAT scores, can it compensate for being a B student in your opinion?

>>6955660
Apart from being a party school, is UCSD actually good with academics and facilities

>>6955678

UCSD is commonly said to be "socially dead". You're thinking of SDSU.

There are def. Parties here. You just can't rage everyday like SDSU or SB.

>>6955697
Oh, no, I definitely heard UCSD was a party school. UCSB maybe?
What about Pepperdine?

>>6954035
Hopefully you dont have to deal with scerri. Fuck him

>>6955806
Ucsd is the farthest thing from a party school. Either your source is a moron or they said ucsb. Also let sieg heil deter you from ucla or csl m8. I went to cal for undergrad and ucla for grad school (engineering). The only people who complain are those who couldnt get in, are too poor to pay tuition, cant handle rigorous academics so they become bitter about their choice of school, or need a private school to baby them and inflate their gpa. See: sieg heil

>>6955885
Dont let sieg*

>>6955885
Ok. So how are academics and reputation at UCSB?

I don't really know what to think. I have the money to pay full tuition at UCLA/Cal as long as it does not exceed 60k or so. I'll definitely apply.
I don't know what my chances are really, but w/e.

Do you think that since I'm a B student I should try applying for Early Decision to schools like Duke and Brown instead of trying SCEA to Harvard or Princeton (which I planned on doing a few months ago)?

>>6955912
I go to UCSB
If you ever come here look for the only person wearing goof

>>6955912
Academics are fine at ucsb. Not as many research opportunities, but youll be set if you do well and want to go on to grad school or something. What major are you considering? Thats an important factor. For example if its at all science related, fuck duke. Just because its private or an ivy does t mean its the best for what you want. Thats why I picked cal and la. Also, tuition shouldn't exceed 60k for you.

>>6955980
Heh.
>dressing goof in california
Isn't that unpractical?

>>6956001
If academics are good I'll apply. Research opportunities don't matter since I want to get a PhD.
I'm considering either Bio, Chem or Neuroscience where available. Leaning heavily towards Neuroscience at Duke, it's very reputable for that.

>>6954035
You know nick weires or shane stone?

>>6956015
Not wearing rick bombers here, just nice drapey shirts and some shorts, keeps me pretty cool. It's around 65-70 degrees here for most of the year anyways.

Great school too

>there are people on 4chan just going into their first year
>they were part of the decline of this place 3 years ago

>>6956035
Oh ok
I'll apply then, I don't know exactly where I want to go (I guess a realistic goal would be Duke, Cal, UCLA and the "lower ivies") but UCSB seems cool.

Since it's a party school, do you have a lot of fun there? Meet some cool people, get good opportunities and experiences, etc?

Is UChicago worth applying to
What about caltech

stem btw

>>6956044
Yeah the party side is exaggerated, if you don't live in IV it's pretty mellow. Lots of cool people, really laid back atmosphere and gorgeous campus. If you're interested in any of the engineering fields, I can say that the faculty, job/internship opportunities and overall academics in the college of engineering are top notch. I think it's a pretty underrated school as a whole as well.

>>6956102
I see. Cool then, it seems like I'd like it so will apply

Thanks for your advice anon.

>>6954459
>putting berkeley and davis in the same sentence


(Go Bears!)

>>6956096
More info required. Not for compsci. Physics, life sciences, pure math and astrophysics, are all decently strong. Stats/econ are especially strong for obvs. reasons
And no engineering so theres that.

>>6956166
>life sciences
yea I'm getting into biology and hope to do a master's in some kind of bio engineering discipline

Is UChicago rather easy to get into?
It's really fucking expensive and I heard the place wasn't safe tho

Also "where fun goes to die", there's that

as for caltech well it's full of nerds but that's ok

If you guys had to recommend a "best college/university for the money" using the following criteria:
>overall ambience, vibe, people, party scene, activities and maybe /fa/-ness
>academics (STEM), research, facilities, high endowment and good reputation
>networking opportunities, job opportunities
>reasonable price, good dorms for undergrads, undergrad housing

What would you recommend?

>>6956450
Berkeley

>>6956450
Cal or ucla
Pretty much comes down to norcal or socal

>>6956726
>>6956902
whoops didn't see replies, thanks guys

So those would be the best unis for the money. Say that, for any reason, I had to study on the west coast or prefered a private college. Then what would it be?

>>6950735
>>6950739

we ucla now

>>6954444
quad quads for rusemaster

>trojans of ucsd

>>6956909
Caltech
MIT
Harvard
Stanford

Are there any easy to get into, great/highly ranked colleges?

>>6955678
It could, it would depend on class rank, and extracurriculars. I can't stress how much that matters with college acceptance. Knew a girl who was a great student, but had below avg for harvard SAT scores, but she completely changed our school newspaper. I feel like that played big for her.

>>6956450
There's like a forbes list or something that compiles like a list for return on investment.

>>6957234
Look at smaller LACs, some that are less known but ranked really highly.

>>6954566
UNC-Chapel Hill's a good school. So is Duke.

With your grades I'd recommend Michigan State University, Wisconsin-Madison, UT-Austin, Pitt, etc.


Also, nearly any school in the U.S. is going to be upwards of 40k (assuming you don't get financial aid) because of you being international.

>>6956921
we should meet up and bone

>>6957655
>>6956921
Where you guys at? Junior here South of wilshire

>>6957742
weyburn

>>6957426
>upwards of 40k
Why? Tuition at public schools is around 30k.

>>6959596
Bump fo dis

>>6957426
i am going to be pissed, if he quals for financial aid.

i didn't get offered shit, but a loan at 4% for up to 25k.

i get re-aproved at my bank for 1.98% at up to 25K

fuck obama he's trying to scam me 3.02% a year

>>6959596
international students pay more, than 2X more in most cases

out of state students pay around 1.5X

>>6960229
Only for public schools?

>>6960220
Fin Aid game: Ivy League

Jk, I was really tight with my package, but I think its because we didn't fill out the form right. Tuition is still ~40K after my grants and loans. Fucking need based lies.

>>6960773
So will "need blind schools" still take your financial needs into account for acceptance?

>>6960229
[citation needed]

>>6961676
That's generally how it is everywhere m8..

>>6961692
Definitely not in private schools.
Actually I think even public schools don't inflate prices outside of shitty California.

>>6961740

Thats because private school prices are inflated to begin with. And every public school inflates prices for out of state and international students with the exception of grad students in most cases.

>>6954688
well shit

seig, you just gave me a ton of confidence.

thanks

>>6961790
Maybe public schools do - but the price doesn't fucking DOUBLE...

A 30k/y public school isn't going to ask Columbia-tier tuition prices just because "hurr you international you pay more"
A 10-15k increment? Sure. But not double.

I wonder though, does this help internationals get in? Paying more increases chances?

>>6962891
Huh, that's quite surprising.

Hence my question >>6961865, doesn't it help internationals get in since they pay much, much more?

>>6962974
It depends on the school.

I go to UofM Ann Arbor, where the out of state acceptance rate is lower than in-state (don't have the data on hand).

At Cal Berkeley, the International acceptance is lower than in-state which is lower than out of state. (im tired ignore my poor grammar.) http://www.ucop.edu/news/factsheets/2013/fall_2013_admissions_table2.pdf

>>6962998
That's strange, since they ask for tons of cash just because one is international.

Overall do you have an idea of the unis (not necessarily public) which are the most fond of international students?
Talking about good unis btw, UM/Cal/whatever tier

>>6954495
>good California universities
>Caltech

pick two

>>6963008

http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/most-international


I'm not sure. That link shows percentage of int. students but that doesn't necessarily mean a higher acceptance rate.

Many unis here follow the theory that ability to pay =/= acceptance/increase chances of acceptance. Private schools don't care b/c they have the same sticker price for everyone, it's only public schools that raise prices for out-of-state/int. students.

What are your grades/test scores like? Do you have anything that'd make you stand out? I can give you some suggestions based on that.

anyone here in the graphic design department of ucla? im thinking of applying and ive had mostly A's and some B's in high school + a 2200 on my SAT. i have done a lot of work in photoshop, indesign, illustrator, and premiere and have a pretty good portfolio coming together

mfw my school is more expensive than all of those
mfw I can't afford a face because I'm drowning in debt

>>6963092
where u at?

>mfw wanted desperately to go to /fa/ liberal arts school but 2poor/2plebe

>>6963134
a school called drexel
i'm actually in no debt because my grandparents are paying for all of it but yeah

>>6961616
They say they won't but there are definitely non-legacies who are filthy rich and got in because of that. My cousin got into Tulane because she had one good sat section, and wasn't doing fin aid.

>>6963183
Drexel is a lot of money, dated a girl who got half there for swimming and still couldn't afford it.

>>6963220
yeah it is
srsly tho
so fortunate to have my grandparents and all this money they're throwing at me
#blessed

>tfw accepted to ucb but too poor to pay tuition

graduated from UCLA 2013

terrible faggot fashion on campus. all the shit from 5 years ago is now popular. still see Toms. only people wearing good clothes are japs/keks.

enjoy looking like you're trying to compete with fast asian fashion whenever you dress up.

Why don't you just apply to UK universities? Even for an international student, the fees will be much less expensive. You have top tier universities that are on par with any US ones in terms of both education, prestige and networking (Oxbridge), there's LSE which is top tier for finance and pretty much guarantees you a placement at a bulge bracket bank/boutique/hedge fund/PE shop, and there's others like Imperial College London (kind of like the MIT of the UK) which will open many doors if you want to work in the sciences.

Also, UK university selection is much more academic than American top universities - you don't need to be the captain of your school + play sport to a high level + volunteer and all that shite to get in: if you only ever sit in your room and do maths you can still get into Cambridge for maths if you're good enough, etc.

>>6963062
>What are your grades/test scores
I'm a B student, I got a couple of A's too. Some meh grades as well. I'd say most of my results are good, some excellent, and a few are mediocre.
Test scores are good.

>make you stand out
I don't really know. I got pretty original extracurriculars, I don't have a lot of them but I focus a lot on the few I have.

>>6963397
>much more academic
Which means I can't get into Oxbridge or Imperial as a B student.

>wear shoes without socks because it looks cool
>end up walking around campus for like 4 hours
>blisters on feet took 10 months to heal fully

never again

>>6960268
could be for both depending on the school.

why are you so dead set on going to a public school?

being an international student in a public school is like saying:

I CAN"T WAIT TO FLY TO JAPAN AND EAT AT MCDONALDS!!!!!!!!

didn't realize there were this many /fa/scists at ucla.

makes sense though.

>>6965792

why would you want a gf in college? also nice trips

>>6965833
Oh I'm not dead set on public schools, especially since they cost as much for internationals.

I was just asking.

Are there any private schools with decent prices? The Ivy League is around 50-55k, but are there good private schools under 50k?

>>6967640
>thinking anyone actually pays full price for Ivy League tuition

autism. Don't go to an Ivy League, you're too dumb.

>>6967691
Haha, not everyone gets financial aid. Especially not internationals.

>implying I can get into any Ivy apart from Cornell with Bs on my transcript

>>6967693
>thinking you can get into Cornell with B's

Don't set your aim so high; all you're doing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

>>6967713
Of course you can get into Cornell with Bs, dumbass, though I probably will not

Hell, you can get into Harvard with Bs, depend on the number of Bs

Just "having Bs" doesn't mean you're not Ivy League material

As I said though I probably won't get anywhere so don't worry about the disappointment thing

>>6967713
lol you flaming faggot

I got into cornell with a D in spanish

I'm not OP, but I have some questions about top schools in the world.
Right now, in my science major (only 3 semeters left), I have a GPA of 3.96, done a shitload of things for my university, been on several committees, etc but I'm not in a top tier university (top 200 in the world).

What are my chances for a PhD in CalTech, MIT, Stanford, Yale, UCSB Oxford and Cambridge?
Also, will I have to pay a lot (my parents are not rich)? Or all the fees will be covered for my PhD.

>>6968219
I don't know anything really, but congrats on such a high GPA

>>6968219

Not sure for USA, but how it works in the UK is that the university will sponsor you through a PhD program if you get accepted: it's not a ballin salary (it's roughly £20,000 a year, give or take), but it's enough to live cheaply on. All universities do this, from the top tier right down to the bottom.

Not sure whether this also applies to international students, but I imagine it should - after all, by doing a PhD you sign yourself up as a marking/teaching/research assistant slave for the university - you're doing them a favour.

>>6968114
proof or gtfo

>>6968219
Top school PhD programs are easy as shit to get into, hard as shit to graduate from

>>6968219
don't worry about your schools ranking, if you do well on whatever test you have to take to get into the PhD program then you should be fine.

>>6968219
>>6969587

also most grad programs will pay you to go to school

>>6965833
lol why are you telling him that

try finding an actually good private school with a high accepance rate

protip you cannot

are there any good public schools apart from the uc system

>>6972750
University of Michigan, UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Virginia, William & Mary, Texas-Austin
