College Applications a.k.a sekai no ichiban zetsubou na mono

[HeartClover]

Doing applications and getting things together for grad right now, and I'm applying to a uni in BC. I want to stay close to home for the first year because I know the transition is hard. Still not sure what I wanna study though, but I'm interested in Bio & Anthropology (and a ton of other things). And maybe I'll transfer or study abroad at some point.

I went through this acceptance/rejection process 2 years ago, so let me just advise you guys not to get too fixated on the decisions when they arrive. Once you enter college, whether it's your #1 dream school or not, you'll be the one deciding how you live. I know someone who got into Caltech and proceeds to smoke all day and ditch classes. Meanwhile, someone else I know who is in community college works hard everyday towards becoming a professional designer.

College is just a start.

I'm fairly certain the "write a note to your future roommate" question was part of Stanford's application, almost verbatim, even a dozen years ago (I don't remember the "virtually all" part, but it's true).

One of the other ones was Attach a picture to this page and explain its significance, which I'm glad to have been given if the alternative was anything like What matters to you, and why?

A rare piece of wisdom from the ancient one!

Congratulations M-J =D

[blaZofgold]

I am very sorry to let you know that we are unable to offer you admission to Stanford University. Please know that this decision in no way diminishes your application. We were humbled by your talents and achievements and by the commitment you demonstrated in all of your academic and extracurricular endeavors.

DANG. That's some beautiful writing.

All college rejection emails are like that. It's the appearance...

[DarknessHid]

Applying to colleges sounds really scary .-.
I can barely handle junior year LOL

AND BELATED CONGRATZ EMJAY

Yeah, but Stanfords was the first that made me go like "WOW" with their wording.

[blaZofgold]

So, I decided to wait on more information before posting this but now, I think I've gotten all my data.

I made it into UCI, UCSD, and USC. Now that all their financial aid has come in, I've discovered that USC has given me a need-based half-ride. With CalGrant and the National Merit Scholarship Presidential grant, I can go to USC for about...$5000 each year. That's room, board, tuition, books, and all additional fees included.

My prayers have been answered~

[DarknessHid]

Omg congratz Blaz!
So are you going to commit to USC?
Yay for living in California ftw!

Guys
Anyone who's a senior or went to college at the following schools I'll mention at least

I'm having a really tough time deciding between two of my favorite colleges that I got accepted in(Carnegie Mellon and NYU, if you wanted to know) and I really need to know: which college would be best for me to go to? Like, I really want to study in New York, but I heard that the Psychology program in CMU has helped a lot of people with their salary. WHAT DO I DO

Also, congrats, blaZ!~

[blaZofgold]

Major is really important, you should say what major you are applying for for each.

NYU is freaking expensive, do you have that covered? Both places are really cold too.

Also, both really great schools! Congratulations!

[Midnight-Jasper]

Congrats Blaz and Curey!

Yayyy~ graduating class of 2014 :3

[blaZofgold]

[lightjz]

time to panic with my A-level exams

[Momento10]

@CureRainbow: I know some people in both schools. Want me to get some insider info about those schools for you? I'll need to know the kinds of majors your interested in to get in contact with the right people.

[CureRainbow]

Ooh, yes please! It's a really hard decision for me and I want to decide after this week's over. I already PM'd you my info.

[Midnight-Jasper]

Miaow~

I'm packing today, and tomorrow I'll be off. The last time I moved house, I was two months old ...
I think lots of other people have started university already. This year. And also there are all the old fogies who have already done their first year of college, and all the wrinkly fossils who have already finished it altogether, and all the cool cats who didn't go at all.

I'm kinda scared, especially about interacting with others.

You'll do it okayy M-J, you're cute and funny, it's always hard at the beginning, but you''ll get use to it.
Unlike me
