Well what ever school you mention and place you want to go you better make it your priority pick or you won't get in.

On LA I hope it sinks in the fucking ocean. My best friend lives there he knows I will never travel there and I won't even buy anything from there.

For me NYC is the place even though it has become another liberal city. But not for me. I don't hang out with liberals. I do hangout with soccer people. Since I never talk to them about politics I have no clue how they feel and I am not interested in finding out

What's schools are you interested in attending realistically?

If you want to come to NYC don't let schools in Queens or Brooklyn stop you from going. They are less then an hour from Manhattan.

One semester sure Your never go back after that one semester
