Final College news: I don't think that this is the end of the world for me, i'm really excited about going off to college. I go to a pretty intense high school, and I recently got into a pretty warped worldview about colleges, and I was seriously bummed at first. But know this:
---------- All top tier schools contain lots of smart and hardworking people, this does not mean that all smart and hardworking people are contained purely within top tier schools-------------------------
Here's a final list of my schools and how the dice fell:
Accepted:
Macalester
Lewis & Clark
UW Seattle
UW Madison (different W)
DENIED:
Yale (ED)
Princeton
Penn
Tufts
Wash. St. Louis
UC Berkeley
UCLA
Waitlisted:
University of Chicago.
K. I have an Envisci presentation that needs making, I'll continue talking about schools, which one i'll choose, and what I would've done differently in terms of prioritizing and thinking realistically, in the next few posts.
Oh yeah. And I need to talk about my Gap year, which is the reason i'm making this blog.
Oh yeah. And happy 4 months Bea, woot woot you're awesome!! (this definitely NOT an april fools joke)
Until Then
random, I just got back from an exchange in Finland with YFU.... this gave me chills. I applied to almost all of those reach school too (but I'm from CA so UC's should be easier).
ReplyDeleteIt's a stressful time, was definitely not fun, you'll get through it though and I'm confident you'll end up somewhere good. Macalester was an afterthought for me, but now I'm finding reasons to be excited to go there all the time and I'm not even there yet.
