(no subject)
Two seniors got into Stanford today. Others accepted at Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, London School of Economics, NYU, Berkeley, Cornell, etc. And I have a 3.4 (the student accepted to the London School of Economics has a 3.4). But I am just as intelligent/capable as those students and maybe Soka has a good reputation already cause damn...we fucking hot. I know that at big universities this might not be so cool, but we have less than 100 students per class and we have only existed for six years and been accredited for two. Something like 80% of Soka graduates go on to prestigious grad programs which is definitely higher than the national rate.
So this is what I decided: I am going to ignore the money issue for now and apply everywhere I fucking want. We're talking Stanford and all that shit and also apply to state and then make my decisions later. I have approached the whole grad school thing in the wrong way for sure, limiting my options before I even know who will accept me and under what conditions. I mean, Brian just told me today that after my RA experience I'll be eligible for Res Life assitanceships (that's not really a word) and I can live on campus for free if need be and get a paycheck...so I don't know.
I'm fucking going for it.
Watch the fuck out, world.
