A few days ago I posted the school colours of some of the universities I applied to. I’ve got quite a few guessers (some very wild ones)!
Regina and Wednesday got UBC XD
Meg gussed Stanford and Princeton correctly.
Arielle got Columbia and UCLA right (tbh I had to double check the blues and oranges for the UCs as well). She just got accepted into NYU so I was shocked she didn’t get the White & Purple 
Marie took a leap of faith using other people’s guesses and got Columbia, Princeton, Stanford, and a place in my sidebar and RSS!
The answers are posted below.
Yes yes, some very big names up there. But really, the one I’m counting on is UBC, and a big fat scholarship from them as well. $40 000 a year for those elite US private schools, seriously! It’d be nice if NYU sent me something though, seems like everyone else have been getting letters. *Prays*
March seems like the month of huge contests around the blogosphere. The main incentives are pretty much 1) free advertising 2) free layout 3) entrecard credits 4) cash. I won #1 and #3 and Mindblogger, thank you!
If anyone is interested, I’m also selling 6000 Entrecard Credits for $19.99 here. It’s the cheapest out of all the ones listed right now, so start bidding!
Lastly, don’t click here. Just don’t. Okay now do it. Please and thank you.

If only I knew ANYTHING about American/Canadian colleges!
I must say, I never knew that there were specific colours for specific schools…makes me wonder what mine are.
OH MY GOD. I should’ve gotten UCLA and Berkeley because I’ve been to both colleges, and I should’ve gotten Columbia/Cornell/NYU because I’ve received mail from all of them. Don’t you hate when things become obvious after you see the answers?
xD These universities really need to be more creative with their colours.
Blue and Yellow is overdone, imo. =O
What courses are you applying to?
lol, I won’t even know the colors of British universities…
$40,000 a year? Hehe. Try more like $50,000.
@ Meg - Yesss… shame on you!
@ IB Student - I know eh? At least they could go for Harry Potter colours!
@ Momo - Depending on the school, it’s either business/economics or international relations.
@ Arielle - I heard NYU costs are through the roof, yikes, good luck though!
Believe me, once you’re at school, you’ll forget all the hell the application and decision process was. I know it’s hard to imagine, but you will.
My university has an awesome colour - PURPLE! They change the logo colours for each course and department as well - the art and design department is a rainbow
Clearly we are awesome.
I hope you get a letter from one of your chosen universities. Not sure how it works in America but it sounds a little daunting.
Oh god, I wouldn’t have gotten any of those.
I think the only ones I would’ve known are Princeton and Cornell. Maybe NYU if I thought hard enough; they sent me lots of mailings in the past…
Hah! $40,000/year in just tuition for some of those schools. Syracuse is going at $32,000/year for tuition and $48,000 for total cost. Woosh. Wherever you go, I hope you get a good scholarship! Those are essential nowadays.
XD HP colours. That would be insane but cool…I could wear those scarves…;D
I just realised. I should have known Columbia one since I have 3 quite unrelated mailings from them. The Ivies seem to love the colour white. O.o Perhaps in more ways than one…I’ll stop posting potentially racially charged comments now :D.
I visited a university today that has almost the same school colours as NYU (purple and white)…actually, if you take away the Y from NYU you’d get the abbreviation for the school I visited.
@Arielle & Erin, sadly that’s the average cost at many top tier schools. Which I cannot afford…! I’m sure fin. aid, scholarships, and such will help somehow but the costs are a bit overwhelming. O_O
Crystal I can’t believe I did that well…LOL! :cute:
Good luck and I really hope you get into the university you have set your sights on (and a big scholarship to boot!)
You want to go to an American college? Why? :dead:
Just kidding, I go to one. I’m sure you’ll get into one of them; they’re all good choices. And you got D1 Sports powerhouses in UCLA and Stanford.
I heard that the Ivy League is starting to do tuitions waivers as well, so best of luck to you!
Hi Crystal,
I never really realized how similar and dull University colours are. Actually its interesting, UBC and UCB are almost the same colours switched around with switched letters to match. :tongue:
=) Glad you like my dog, if you catch me at the right time I might give her to you. :biggrin:
Wow! You’re smart!
:cute:
I wish I could go to NYU. I know I won’t though. Mega $$$ and I’m probably not smart enough to get in. :grr: :stress:
