College
Ok, so, college. The basic gist of it is I got in. In fact, I got in everywhere I applied. I’m definitely happy, and it’s a huge ego boost to know that so many schools want me, but I’m not sure what to do now. I don’t have a first choice school really, and I have no idea how to go about choosing one. I also feel kind of guilty about getting into so many places when so many other people didn’t get in. I’m going to end up turning down 9 out of 10, and I just really wish that admissions were transferable and I could hand it off to someone who wanted it more than me. I feel bad having something that someone else wanted so badly when I don’t even know if I want it, and I can’t give it away.
I honestly don’t know how to begin choosing, and I’m looking for opinions. I’ve been admitted to Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, Brown, Caltech, NYU, Columbia, BU, MIT, and Harvard. That means that I’m also trying to choose between living in Pittsburg, Baltimore, Chicago, Providence, Pasadena, New York, or Boston. It turns out that money probably isn’t going to matter as much as I thought, because looking at the financial aid stuff I’ve received, my family’s probably going to end up having to pay the same amount no matter where I go. I’m at a bit of a loss right now, and could use some input. If you were me, where would you go?
