Countdown: January 15, 2006 - 11:59 PM
1. Washington University in St. Louis
2. New York University
3. Johns Hopkins University
4. Boston College
5. Pepperdine University
6. Babson College
7. Tulane University
8. UC Berkeley
9. UCLA
I'm almost done, but looking at my list...it feels incomplete. The next 4 years of my life will be spent at one of those 9, yet I'm not really excited about any of them. I know I won't go to #4-7 and #8-9 are, in a way, my "fallbacks" because I'd only go to a UC if I didn't get into #1-3.
There's a part of me that's dying to go to Johns Hopkins. I dont know why though - it doesnt have the business programs I want, its a math/science school, and its in Maryland of all places. But from the beginning i've been drawn to it. My mom thinks I don't make sense...which means I probably can't go.
The asian in me is telling me that I should have chosen more "name-brand" schools (MIT, Stanford, Northwestern, etc.) so I could have a "dream school" to be excited for.
