more college stuff
Ok, so the good news is I finally got my Smith acceptance packet mailed. It's juicy, it's shiney, it's special. The bad news is that I was rejected from Haverford. Not waitlisted, as I suspected, but rejected. Half of me is really bummed about this, because it was my 1st choice coed school. It's also the first rejection letter I've gotten in my life (I've only been put on waitlists before). The other half of me is relieved that I don't have yet another choice to drive me crazy about (the Smith vs. Bryn Mawr thing is burning me out already). This also means that I won't do an overnight, giving me more time to hang out in New York. So, really, I guess it's not such a bad thing.
LAC-wise, this leaves Reed and Whitman, both of which I think I have a strong shot at, and Pomona. Pomona seems pretty much hopeless at this point. It's one of the most, if not the most, selective liberal arts college in the country. If I didn't get accepted to Carleton or Haverford (which I interviewed for), I doubt I'll get into Pomona (which I didn't interview for). It's ok, because if I really wanted to attend a Claremont, I'd be fine at Scripps.
There's also UC Berkeley, which I almost certainly will NOT attend, even if I do get in. Good luck, Mr. Kelp, and all those who genuinely care about getting into UCB.
On another note, we saw Hyenas today for Bio class. They're kept near the Lawrence Hall of Science, which is close to my house. Perhaps if one of them escaped, it would find its way to my backyard. Creepy!
Tribute of the day: colleges, because they're actually sorta awesome to research and talk about.
