I know there are a bunch of threads and I've checked them all out but I decieded I'd look for some new info. So I was wondering if I could some input on colleges I've applied to and if there other colleges i should be looking. Btw i'm only looking at west coast schools. I'm in the midwest now and want to get outof here as fast as possible. Oh and I have a 3.3 gpa with a 27 act score.

Colleges I'm Applying To
University Utah
Westminster
University Colorado Boulder
University of Wyoming
Washington State

Thanks!

Just visited there, really sick, small class size (like 20), teachers are really cool, apparently the business school is very good, sick transportation, busses to squaw, northstar, diamond peak, and possible heavenly, but im not sure, kids there are real cool, everything is new and dorms are nice with a bathroom in each.  Also, a real bonus, they have a mamoth trip for 3 days skiing with lodging at the mountain for 60 bucks which is crazy.

You're a nerd. College is a great way to go live somewhere new, and instead of moving somewhere for a year or two before college where you don't meet many people and spend lots of time working at some pointless job that contributes nothing to your future you can move to a new place and meet tons of people and have something very productive to do with your time.

And that is why U of U is the best "ski school" because it's close to awesome skiing and is a legit school with lots of different programs many of which are quite respectable.

My bro goes to UoU.  He really likes it, he gets super cheap passes to canyons, alta, etc.  They have ski clubs you can join to get money off of season passes.
