bye bye boston
hello charlottesville
boston college rejected me the night before graduation
boston U rejected me the night after.
i thought sure I'd get one of them. I jumped through so many hoops.
just goes to show that the only reason I got into UVA was cause Prof. Carminati wrote a stellar recommendation. it was something to behold. i should have had her write all of them. i just didn't want to overload her. and now i fucked up boston. fuck.
i just wish they told me what was wrong. I mean, I know I don't have a 4.0 (but come on, a 3.9!!!) i know I may not have written an awesome essay. how the hell do you spice up, WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO TO BU? I put details about the school that enticed me. what else do they want? what more could I have done? it's an decent sized school. WTF.
to top that off i ate way way way too much and gained all my weight back so I'm a fattie again. in one night. magic.
on the one side, UVA sent their financial aid package. They say annual tuition is about 40 grand. They're giving me grants for 20 grand, and loans for 8. So I'm only responsible for 12 grand or so, which is awesome, cause I'm broke. And that might be including room and board, in which case, if that is factored out, I'm paying for even less,
so i gotta put things in perspective. sure, boston felt right, sure, i've wanted to live there for a good half of my life thus far, yes, I thought BU was a perfect fit. But UVA is a smaller, better, more pretigious school, who happens to be giving me a shitload of money. Sold.
