It really depends on the type of education you want (let's just say "drunk studies" vs actually learning something LoL). If you want to get in to a good school, you need good grades and SAT scores, so yeah its kinda hard/competitive.

There are also community colleges, which are very low cost but are also kinda like high school I would think. Most people who don't have a lot of money go to them for a year or two to save money, then transfer to a normal college.

yea a big thing for northern va, people goto NOVA then transfer to GMU

Yeah, that's like the cheapest way possible to get a degree and a good education. GMU isn't bad, I just wouldn't go there because its a commuter school and is like 5 minutes away from my house haha.

Fuck yes.


I got into carnegie melon for next year, majoring in science and minoring in music. I had to maintain a 3.5 GPA, get over a 2000 on the SATS (I got a 2305) and graduate with music honors, as well as volunteering. THat school alone is 52 grand, and i got a 1/2 scholarship, so it is 26g's. I have some money saved up in a college fund, as well as some student loans im gonna take out.

EDIT: This is just to show u how hard it is to get into a good school.

LOL, uh, maybe she got a 1900? 2400 is the max score.

Also, being organized isn't everything, but it does help. I know a kid who is going to Carnegie Mellon next year who throws everything in his backpack and can't find anything half the time. He still manages to ace all his tests most of the time. Then again, he's a genius. :P

I agree though, some luck is necessary when applying. I had friends who didn't even get waitlisted, just flat out denied at a college I got in to. They had similar grades/SAT scores too while I got accepted. Oh well.

^I doubt it. If I were to apply to NYU, they are expecting 700's in both Verbal and Math. I probably got around 600.

Nope...to be honest, it's a decent score, not bad, not extremely good either.
