	Dang, this quiz makes me feel bad for not going to one of these schools when I got accepted.

	As a non-American I'm surprised Harvard isn't there.

	With a couple exceptions it seems like most of these correlate to states with the largest populations, assuming that a lot of people apply to schools in their home state for in-state tuition.

	All of these people apply to the UC system... but they can't get any financial aid because the system (and the state of CA for that matter) are dead broke :(

	It should take "Penn St" for Penn State, as most quizzes on this site take things like "Penn St," "Ohio St," and so on for those colleges.

	I don't get this. How do only 4.4% get Drexel but 15.6% get every question right? Something's wrong with the statistics here.

	you should accept uc berkeley

	It's weird because I got accepted by my dream school, but rejected by my safety school..

	Oof, this really needs to accept more ways of writing these names. As a native Californian, I got "UCLA" right off the bat, and then tried UCSD, UCSB, UCR, etc -- very common abbreviations -- and none of them worked. Also, "University of Texas" is ambiguous (that's a university system across the whole state). I assume you mean University of Texas at Austin, but you don't accept the common abbreviation "UT Austin" either. For a quiz like this, we really need consistency on either accepting all the common abbreviations or not.

	I'll echo some of the comments here. I got "UCLA" and "CAL", but when "UCSD" didn't show up I figured that was it for the California State schools and didn't get any of the others. Too confusing.

	I knew it was going to be Cali-centric.

	Great URL. Some hard working people in the admissions dept at these schools!

	jdb80:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:03 GMT		5 points
	I will also echo what others are saying. Why doesn't this quiz accept the same abbreviations for the schools? Why would NYU work but not Penn St?

	rockgolf:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:08 GMT		12 points
	I tried "Hudson University". I've been watching Law & Order too long.

	The consistency for this game is just absolutely horrible. Some times entering the city name will give you the college, sometimes not. Sometimes entering the abbreviation for the school will give you the college, sometimes not. This should have been cleaned up before making the front page.

	Forget you guys, im applying for clown college!

	@NoPepper Cal Tech is the California Institute of Technology, which isn't one of the answers.

	yggdrasil:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:23 GMT		1 point
	Caltech (California Institute of Technology, a private school in Pasadena) is not the same as Cal Poly (California Polytechnic State University, a public school in San Luis Obispo).

	SporcleAdmin:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:30 GMT		6 points
	Thanks for the comments everyone. We've now added considerably more alternates for these school names.

	RobtheHob:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:54 GMT		1 point
	So...Almost every UC school plus a few others.

	JamesSnell:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 19:59 GMT		3 points
	Could be a great spin off with UK ones...

	Bob91351:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 20:03 GMT		2 points
	way too inconsistent - Texas work, but Indiana doesn't... etc.

	BamaGuy:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 20:17 GMT		16 points
	I think I tried every Ivy League school except Cornell

	swimchris:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 20:32 GMT		-3 points
	This is outdated as Northeastern is the most applied to private school with over 43,000 applications.

	hotrod14:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 20:38 GMT		3 points
	At least the Big West Conference still excels at something! (besides baseball, of course).

	jasperwyld:	Jan 11th, 2012 at 20:55 GMT		2 points
	@yggdrasil - There's also Cal Poly Pomona. I'm wondering if the number up there is for one of the two Cal Polys or for both combined.
