I'm conflicted because unlike the rest of these schools, University of Washington runs on a quarter system. I applied as a freshman and was denied because at the time I sent in my application my GPA was a 2.81 unweighted (when I graduated I believe it was a 3.01 unweighted, maybe 3.2 weighted), which is far below UW's standards, especially for out of state applicants. Because UW runs on the quarter system, I can still apply for Spring quarter which starts in late March. I feel like going to Lang isn't going to tide me over, even for the semester. As of right now, my first choice is Brown University, but who am I kidding? I want to major in cognitive neuroscience but my math and science high school grades (the only ones they have to base anything on, besides classes I've yet to take) were dismal. I feel like going to UW would be an amazing experience, but I'm hesitant to apply for a few reasons:
1. If accepted, I would have to drop all my second semester New School courses, making it a waste of time and money to have taken them.
2. I cannot apply to any of these other schools.
3. Boy would be 2000 miles away.
I guess when all is said and done I should just not apply. Maybe for Fall '10.
I'm so sick of all this transfer bullshit. Why couldn't I have worked harder in high school? Or better yet, why am I up at 3am when I have a class at 9?
