You know, I think this is rather cool. Just a random thought, as you may be able to tell. Anyway, I didn't not recieve any rejection letters from colleges. I only recieved acceptance letters. Since I applied to five schools, and could only attend one of them, I get to write rejection letters! No colleges got to do that to me, but I get to! It's wonderful. I feel like I've beaten the system.
Wow. I have been in the college selecting race against time for a long time now. I applied to five schools, one public (OSU), and four private (WPI, Gonzaga, Santa Clara, and Lehigh). Although I was accepted at all of them, I didn't get enough financial aid to make the decision completely mine. That, and a number of other factors, ellimitated All but Gonzaga and OSU. The problem was, while my mind was set on going to Gonzaga, my parents didn't have a very high opinion with it. In the last few weeks, whenever we'd discuss it, I'd get a distinct impression that it wasn't very likely. Then came tonight.
My parents asked me to come and discuss the stuff tonight, so I went out ready for an hour-long discussion where nothing new came up, and they would tell me that I would need to go to OSU. I learned that they had taken a lot of time evaluating all of the important factors that they could think of, so as to compare the schools well. And their decision after this evaluation was what I didn't expect. I can go! Ha ha ha ha! This is why I am happy.
