Finally, Some Good News

After a barrage of rejections and my dreams of MIT, Caltech, Harvey Mudd, and UCLA being shattered, I’ve finally reached some good news in my journey towards college. On March 26, 2009, I found out that I was one of the very few from my school to be offered admission to the University of California at Berkeley.
Now that I know this, my dad and I have begun to plan our Spring Break college visiting trip, and it looks like it’s gonna be really fun. We’re probably gonna fly up to Berkeley, tour there, visit the math department, (Gotta love Applied Mathematics =]), and then we will make our way back down through California. If I get into Stanford, (find out April 1), we will visit there, and then hit Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on the way down, and eventually make our way back home. I’m excited, and I can’t wait to learn about the departments at all of the schools, and how well (or not well) I will fit in.
With my choices currently between Berkeley, SLO, UCSD, and UCI, I’m not quite sure where I’d want to go right now. A lot of things will play into my decision, a major part being finances, considering the effects of the economy on my family. And so, I’m not sure where I will be in September, or what I will be doing, but I think things will work out somehow, and no matter where I end up, I’m gonna have a blast and get a great education.
