After all my work in high school, after nearly 4 years of taking it up the butt, it's all over. I am going to college. I want to write this blog not becuase of what my test scores are or where I got into college, but because I just want to write down my experience.
In November, I applied to 7 schools: 4 UC, Princeton, Wash U., and Rice. Since I'm considered in-state for UC, I figured getting into UC Santa Cruz would be 100%. So I made all my other schools reach schools. BAD DECISION.
When March 15th was drawing near, I got more and more nervous because I was scared of "what if." What if I didn't get into Santa Cruz? then my chances of other schools would literally be close to nil.
1 a.m. March 15th, I go to the computer, login into MyAdmission UC Santa Cruz and click "application status."
I read, "We regret to inform you that UC Santa Cruz can not offer you admission for the 2008 fall quarter."
FUCK
FUCKIDDI FUCK FUCK
I remeber feeling so empty, so lost for hope. I went to bed really surprised at what had happened. I had always thought Santa Cruz was a sure shot, a "safety," but now that's gone. I told myself to stay positive, that there are still 6 schools to go.
On Monday, I broke the news to all my friends and they were all shocked as hell. People encoouraged me however, which was good.
I went home that day anxious to check UC Davis. I log on after some technical difficulty...
"Congratulations......." that was all I read; that was all I needed. I breathed easy and all was right.
It's funny looking back at it because Davis was the only school that accepted me. It's strange how as long as no one takes you, you feel so nervous, but as long as one school accepts you, you feel a world different.
I have also learned a few things from this experience. I learned that when applying for a job or school, you never know what they want. It is purely subjective. The school or job you "know" you will get just might be the one that rejects you. On the other hand, the one you thought was unlikely or impossible might appear very possible indeed.
This isn't a thrilling tale or inspiring tale such as the story of a certain royal roader, but I feel it is really one of the most important times of my life.
In any case, I'm glad my college decision wasn't exactly hard since only one school accepted me.
I wish all seniors this year luck in their college acceptance and/or happiness on where they decide to go. I'm glad I had both.

grats to you. i accept you into my university
+ Show Spoiler +
fyi, my first name is Davis and i just find it funny when people say "I got accepted into Davis"(reference to UC Davis). Makes me feel giddy inside but at the same time a bit violated o.O |

| I know your feeling. However, university is much harder. If HS is anal then university is rape. |

Grats, man.
I can really identify with that feeling, because now I'm in the midst of applying for graduate job positions. I'm gonna feel so shit if I don't at least get ONE.  |

Heh, kinda reminds the night my high school result came out and i was seriously freaking out, not to mention i got some kinda of flu and i was in the coldest place in my life (northern china) at the time.
i spend like 5 days fucking just freaking out and realming the city just to find a netcafe that can connect to the VCE (high school results) site in Australia.
when i saw the grade i got, (even tho it was a lot less than i aimed) i was contend and happy all the sudden.
and then the night for college application. my choices are only limited to the two schools in the state as i'm not financially set to settle inter-state. then then then.... after like seems forever, the first school (which is really the one i wanted )rejected me but 2nd one gave me an offer.
what's funny is after one week of semster, the first school gave me a second round offer (kinda like waitlist) but i've already decided its not for me so i throw the letter into the bin LOL. |
