Figure this would be a good place to discuss amongst ourselves acceptances, and where we'll be playing

Currently, schools I'm applied to where I would play QB are VCU (Accepted), Maryland, Delaware, and Rutgers. Other schools I've applied to I would attempt to start a program.

What about everyone else?

EDIT: Edited to reflect player destinations rather than just overall college talk.

Posted: **Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:45 pm**

I've applied to: The University of South Carolina, George Mason University, The University of Missouri, Clemson University, and Florida State University.

Posted: **Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:48 pm**

I am heading to Dartmouth.

Posted: **Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:03 pm**

As my signature suggests, I'm going to Brown.

Posted: **Sat Dec 20, 2008 7:18 pm**

In at Yale, hoping to get into Harvard on March 31st.

So, just your annual reminder: saying where you're definitely going to go to college is a matter of general interest to the community. Saying where you've applied to college is rather less interesting. Listing all the places you have gotten in because you are proud of yourself is unseemly posturing. It's not bannable or anything, but think about why you're posting things and this thread will not degenerate into college admissions nonsense.

Yeah, these threads tend to blow an unseemly amount of tuchus.

Short version: saying where you have been accepted to college is of interest to people here if you are planning to play quizbowl in college, but not otherwise.

I, like Ian, am also going to Brown

I think seniors who get into colleges have and deserve the privilege to brag, but that's just my opinion.

Posted: **Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:49 am**

I'm going to Carleton College. I suppose I'll update my signature to reflect that eventually.

Posted: **Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:52 pm**

I'm going to Tennessee Tech. One of my high school teammates and I will probably try to start a team there.

EDIT: I am more or less sure I am going to MIT next year, and I may keep playing quizbowl.

Posted: **Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:13 pm**

Congrats to all of you!

Posted: **Wed Jan 21, 2009 10:47 pm**

It is official now, I will be playing quizbowl at The George Mason University

Looks like I'll definitely be starting a club at Montclair State

Hopefully some local coaches know of former players that went there.

Good luck; it'll be good to have another NJ team around. I'm pretty sure MSU used to do CBI, and I know they get lots and lots of Bloomfield kids each year, so hopefully there'll be some interest.

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2009 9:42 pm**

I'll be headed to MIT in the fall and will definitely be playing quizbowl.

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2009 9:10 pm**

There is a 99% chance that I attend Loyola Chicago next year, and I'll definitely be starting a team.

Posted: **Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:45 am**

Dan, you're right that Loyola Chicago doesn't have a team, but my wife, Ellen, is the student activity coordinator there and would be more than happy to help you start your club when you arrive on campus. It's very rare to have someone in a student activities office be aware and supportive of quizbowl. So even though you'll be starting from scratch, you'll likely have an easier start-up process than you might elsewhere.

Definitely. I'm (hopefully) going to stay till the end of every tournament, and I'm pretty sure they're not going to abandon me.

I'm (hopefully) going to get them to finally attend ACF events

P.S Anyone know why they won't attend ACF events? Is it because of the packet submission? Do they have a grudge against the organization?

I don't know much about their current players, but I doubt it's a philosophical grudge and more a lack of coordination in terms of packet submission. Anyway, I saw them play at NAQT this year and they have plenty of talent, so there's no reason Duke can't become a regional powerhouse. Good luck!

Wow, that's really awesome.

I will most likely be playing QB at Caltech, unless Stanford decides to throw me a bone.

Posted: **Fri Mar 13, 2009 10:11 pm**

Cornell U. I got into the College of Engineering, to be more precise.

Posted: **Sat Mar 14, 2009 10:42 pm**

I got accepted to Washington University in St. Louis, so I will probably be going there and playing there.

Posted: **Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:26 pm**

I will be hanging out in the Univ of Louisville, hopefully playing quizbowl =)

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2009 5:44 pm**

I will most likely be going to Virginia Tech next year, and I do intend to keep playing.

Nice ninja edit there, Naren.

Posted: **Thu Apr 09, 2009 11:52 am**

I'll be playing at Emerson College in Boston. Let me know if you know any old QBers there.

I'm like 95% sure I'm going to Amherst, and I'll probably play there.

I'll be playing at Stanford... if I'm good enough.

Posted: **Fri Apr 10, 2009 11:49 pm**

I will be attending the University of Virginia, and it's fairly likely I'll be playing there.

Most likely Yale. Definitely remaining a quizbowl player.

Posted: **Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:58 am**

So I take back what I said about being 99% sure of going to MIT. I'm stuck trying to decide between Harvard and MIT now, and that choice will probably determine how active I will be in college quizbowl.

Posted: **Tue Apr 14, 2009 9:32 pm**

I'm headed to Tuscaloosa as a student at the University of Alabama. Roll Tide!

Good news for you Matt, my boy Alex Costa will be attending W&M next year and I think could be convinced to keep playing.

Posted: **Sat Apr 18, 2009 2:56 pm**

I will be attending and playing Quizbowl at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Sweet!

Also, to any incoming freshmen: If you get bored during the summer, feel free to make the trek down here, as we'll be holding practice during the summer.
