ED and (less relevantly) EN/EA/REA decisions are starting to come out for high schoolers, so I figured this thread should exist. Obviously, as before, grad school/transfer results and the like are still relevant here.

by **Matt Weiner** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:25 pm

As in previous years, this thread should be limited to "I am going to college Y and playing quizbowl there." Bragging about acceptances or asking for advice on which college to attend should go in Off Topic if anywhere.

by **nadph** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 1:32 pm

Yeah. Thanks, Matt.

Our "science player" Pratyusha Gupta was accepted to UPenn today and their Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology. I think she should be interested in playing quizbowl, if she has any free time.

I am going to Brown University and plan to play quizbowl there.

by **mkanu** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 5:09 pm

I am most likely going to Harvard College and will probably play quizbowl there.

I heard about this from my brother, Cory Smith. Congratulations on that, I love seeing people from Kentucky representing us so well.

Is anyone planning on going to college next year?

Not from the looks of my last report card...

In all seriousness, though, expect this thread to get a lot more crowded after this week. Most decisions will come out in the next seven days.

by **Madagascar Serpent Eagle** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:02 pm

Tell me if I'm wrong, but back in my day, I had to decide by what will be Sunday. Are deadlines later or something this year? I seem like I've talked to more people who aren't sure than I'd expect with under a week to go.

by **The Predictable Consequences** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:03 pm

The deadline for deposits is May 1st for most colleges. Most schools will let people know on or around April 1st.

by **Madagascar Serpent Eagle** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:05 pm

Oh yeah, I was off by a month. I'm stupid.

Fixed that for you.

In a related note, get off my lawn.

Well yes, that was my point. But apparently my memory doesn't even go that far back.

I'm going to MSU next year and I probably won't play quiz bowl

Is there contact info for someone at Princeton? The website looks like it hasn't been updated since 2009. Has the team been active this year?

They hosted Region 3 SCT this spring, so yes: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12466

A regular B and C Team member of CR, Jalisha Braxton, is going to Princeton as well. She might be interested in playing casually there.

Another B Team member (and occasional A Team replacement), Rachel Grunden, will be headed to Haverford. Again, i think she might be interested in playing there as well.

by **itsthatoneguy** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 8:31 am

Kurtis recently got accepted in to a PhD program at Michigan.

I believe the person you should contact is Jamie Ding, email address jyding@princeton.edu.

"Doctor Droge" sounds like a good DC villain.

by **aestheteboy** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 2:07 pm

I will be attending the University of Chicago.

by **The Predictable Consequences** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 3:12 pm

I will be attending UNC-Chapel Hill next fall and playing quizbowl there.

edit: removed doubt

I plan on attending Williams College next year and likely playing quizbowl there.

by **Francis the Talking France** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:00 am

Unless I acquire some utter disliking for the school when I visit during the weekend of April 14th-16th, I will be attending the University of Denver. Quiz Bowl in Colorado is basically non-existent and DU was one of the last schools I expected to go to, but I may try to start a club if anyone knows of anyone going there who plays and can give me contact info. 40% of the attendees live in Colorado, so I'm relying on the other 60% I guess. I'm pretty sure there was a National History Bee/Bowl event in Colorado, but otherwise I know nothing of quiz bowl or any sort of frowned-upon quizzing practices in the state.

by **nadph** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:20 am

Grand Junction in Colorado has fairly consistently sent teams to HSNCT, I think, so you may not have to entirely start from scratch.

by **Francis the Talking France** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:31 am

That's true if some of the Grand Junction players come to DU. It also wouldn't look bad on a resume if I helped start up Colorado quiz bowl...I will probably try to do well in terms of grades first, though.

by **alexdz** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:50 pm

I emailed around this summer trying to start up a small fun open tournament while I was in Boulder for a month. I didn't really have any luck - only got one reply from a pretty hefty list of emails - but I think there is a little promise for something to happen. Best of luck with it all, and if you have any questions, let us know!

by **Down and out in Quintana Roo** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 10:24 pm

CR's captain, Alexa Andaya, has been accepted at and will attend Stanford University. She's been playing quizbowl for 4 years and is pretty good, but might be intimidated by the college quizbowl scene. I've encouraged her to give it a shot though if she can, so i hope she does.

by **SoLegit12** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 4:13 pm

I will be attending UNC Chapel Hill next year and I am not entirely sure about my quiz bowl prospects.

by **DoubleAW** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 4:29 pm

I'm going to Caltech, and I'm not entirely sure about quizbowl yet.

by **Boeing X-20, Please!** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:31 pm

I will most likely be attending and playing for Northwestern or Chicago next year.

by **Grams's Go-Go Boots** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:07 pm

Kentucky.

Are you going to be able to replace both Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, or will Kentucky drop in your rankings?

subpar unibrow. weak ppb adjustment. the worst place.

by **adzaho31** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 11:39 pm

I am going to Brown and would probably like to play quizbowl there, although I've got a lot of studying to do first.

by **Wackford Squeers** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 1:09 am

I'm almost certainly attending the University of Chicago next year. I plan to play quiz bowl.

To make this graph bidirected, you can find a thread in the Facebook "Quiz Bowl" group about where people are going here.

by **Kahloon** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 9:18 pm

I will be going to Harvard. Undecided on wether to do quizbowl there.

by **bradleykirksey** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:27 am

Might be a little off topic, but I'll base any one of you a cookie every day if you play quiz bowl at UCF. And I bake some good cookies, too.

Also, congrats all of you smart Ivy thingy peoples. Also, college quiz bowl really is more fun, and the MSU guys seem nice enough, claim they don't kick puppies, and appear to have a lot of fun pushing buttons and looking smart.

"Come to the Dark Side: we have cookies" just got a little more menacing.

by **mtimmons** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:52 pm

I'm going to MIT and plan to play quiz bowl there.

by **Just a Guy Made Of Dots and Lines** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:11 am

Most likely I'll be going to Vassar and looking to start up a team - hopefully I can find a bunch of other people first.

by **Ondes Martenot** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:14 pm

I'll be going to graduate school at NYU

Now, I don't know where you got that idea. :P
