So just a tad curious to see how well MRers are schooled. :p :)

Please vote in the poll, and if you would like to post about your school/alma matter that would be nice too. :)
 
I went to the University of Utah for a few years and then decided it wasn't for me. :eek: The funny thing is all through High School I got really good grades, but as I got older I lost interest in formal education when I got into college.

Currently I am working on my Cisco Certifications which at my work equals a raise!!! :D
 
i am in hs. everything is going really great currently, and i hope to go to the University of Washington for my doctorate in medicine.:D

Went to Carroll High School in Dayton, Ohio. Then started at Wright State University but stopped after two years. Decided to go to photography school and went to Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology. Great times all. Now recently moved to California and loving it!!

I second stealthninja... I currently just have a high school diploma but give me two more years and I'll have a BS... then eventually an MS hopefully (that part depends on whether or not I land a good job out of college :p )
 
can we add an option for current college students?

And possibly an option for those that went to some college, but decided to leave. :eek::D
Well you should pick the highest one completed thus far, so it would be a HS diploma for both of those.

The reason I didn't include "in college" is because I figured that it would be too amorphous; there are plenty of people who go in and out of college every year but not necessarily get a degree.
I'm a half year away from my bachelor's (Taylor University), then on my way to grad school the next fall :)

What are you going to study in grad school?:)
 
I have a Bachelors. I will have a Masters in December of this year. As a matter of fact, I have to take my COMPS this Saturday and am moving forward on getting thesis materials together! My brain hurts.

I hope to have my PhD by May 2012.

Fair points...I'm sure if we tried really hard you could have a hundred options. :D
 
Counseling Psychology. I'm looking at some grad schools in Chicago at the moment...hopefully something works out :)

That sounds really interesting.

My cousin did that and loves it. It's truly a very rewarding thing. :)
 
Think the system works differently over here. Just about to finish my 4th year honours in Psychology. Hoping to do masters after

If you have the equal of a Bachelor's degree, then you'd pick BA/BS. If you're doing 4th Year honours, then I can assume that you do have the equivalent of a BA.
 
Studied neurobiology at Northwestern. Now engaged in the struggle through a boatload more years of school for a couple more degrees.
 
graduating with a BS in mechanical engineering this May after 5 years

used to want to go to grad school but im sick of school at the moment. senioritis has hit me VERY hard. maybe in a couple of years lol
 
I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan. Thought about getting a Mac for college, but thought it was a safe choice to stick with Windows, so I opted for a Dell. Upon coming to college, I was surrounded by Macs, and subsequently purchased a Macbook. Addiction, anyone? :rolleyes::apple:
 
I was in school for a quite a few years: Preschool, K-12, Bachelor's degree, Master's degree, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Then I stopped and became a hobo.
