more college whining
Jul. 26th, 2007 05:49 pmBaby, I don't want to do college applications. I haven't started yet -- I mean, I'm sitting around whimpering, "But I don't want to write essays that will define my entire future."
MY ENTIRE FUTURE, GUYS. *whimpers* Not to mention I need to cut at least five colleges off my list, preferably the ones I wasn't going to get into anyway -- I'm thinking Dartmouth and BC, probably, but my dad wants me to keep BC on the list because it's a Jesuit school. Washington and Lee is fairly likely to let me in, but it doesn't have a marching/pep band, which is a little bizarre. Embry-Riddle has neither my major or ANY music programs, but it does have Global Security and Intelligence Studies as a major, which is fascinating. Plus it doesn't believe in any kind of financial aid except the federal sort.
Obviously, the school that's going to cost the least is the University of Washington: it's a state school, I'm an in-state resident, they offer financial aid, they offer the Husky Promise, which I'm pretty sure I qualify for, and I've got GET. On the academic side, they've got my major, they have a concert band, an orchestra, and a marching band, and it's the best school in the Pacific Northwest. It's also only two hours away from Ellensburg. On the downside, I hate Seattle a whole lot.
My first choice school is still Stanford, and since Stanford requires somewhere around a million essays and I'm apply early action (non-binding), I should start. Not that my chances of getting in to Stanford are particularly high when the school has an eleven percent acceptance rate. *rolls eyes*
*pokes fic* God, this is going exactly the way "What is Lost" did: in leaps and stutters, going from scene to scene all over the place with no connecting threads. This should be fun to wade through when I decide to try putting it all together. So far, there has been one lightsaber battle -- Anakin and Aayla.
