I thought the college application process was a bunch of bullshit. I went to a local community college for a year, transferred over to a University of California school, and doing that you get a degree that's precisely the same as the one everyone else gets, at the same time, for cheaper, with a lot less stress. I didn't have to take the SATs or any of that nonsense, either. The classes I benefited the most from were project-based ones where you spent a few weeks in the library, hacked like mad for a few, then wrote a report and gave a presentation.
