Acceptance!
« on: Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 03:13:18 PM »
I got accepted into my two top university choices today: Wilfrid Laurier University and Dalhouse, both for Business.

Now I have to decide between the two. Laurier is close, has the biggest co-op program in Canada, and has several thousand people in the business program. Dalhousie has a mandatory co-op program, is 2000km away and has nice small classes of 50 or so. Both seem to be similar from the reputation standpoint. I'm leaning towards Dalhouse. The only downside is visiting home will be expensive.

But I have plenty of time to decide. yay for acceptance! This totally kills my motivation to get good marks though. I need to maintain a 70% average or something really low.

Nice.  I was originally going to go to Dal, but ended up changing my mind at the last min. Good school and Halifax is a lot of fun.  I know nothing of Wilfrid Laurier though.

Hey, congratulations man. My last few months of high school were definitely my most fun. I didn't do a damn thing.

And travel expenses aside, smaller classes are definitely a good thing. The overall quality of education seems to be better in smaller classes.

I got accepted to the school of Uneducated Losership.  Go me.

Congrats, though!  I hope you get a lot out of it.  Even if you don't realize it while you're going (some do, some don't), it's something you'll probably miss if you don't get a shot at it.  Don't slack, do your best!

Me too! Maybe we'll have the same classes that we can skip together!

That would be awesome.  We'll go eat pizza and play videogames instead.

Psssssst.  We don't tell buisness students what we think.  We just kind of laugh at them when they're not around.  Don't ruin this for us.

Is that anywhere near the South Harmon Institute of Technology?
