[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you mention an interest in the Seven Sisters schools. I’m curious to know if you’ve looked into either attending Barnard or taking all, or most of your coursework at Barnard to complete your degree.  That would give you a Seven Sister school environment, and, because it’s part of Columbia University, it might be easier to get credit for the coursework you’ve already completed—compared to other schools.

As to your “parting words”, you’re making quite a few over- generalizations. You also seem startlingly certain that you’ll both get accepted by a Seven Sisters school, and get a scholarship that will allow you to attend “for free”.  I wish you luck with that. I also hope you have thought through a few backup plans, in case your ideal plan doesn’t work out in ways that meet your expectations.

OP here. I've checked out the Barnard thing, but unfortunately it's not a possibility for me -- almost all of my classes are at Columbia. And my parents have already told me upfront that they would never pay money for me to go from Columbia to Barnard.

I understand that my chances of getting accepted by a Seven Sisters school is not as high as I previously phrased it to be. In case I get rejected, I'm planning on entering my state school (I'm from California, so they're excellent) at 24 (so I'd be considered a financial independent). [/quote]

Barnard is an amazing school and it’s impressive on its own. Im Asian and graduated from there. Your parents are snobs and ill informed, but there’s no excuse for you overlooking this amazing sister school-/ and yes, of course it’s a 7 sisters! I dont think you will have luck getting into another 7 sisters school, and definitely cant go for free! The real world will be a much needed wake up call for you, im afraid. Im team drop out and work. Get some street sense. It seems you were far too sheltered by your parents.[/quote]
