I hate seeing my friends on facebook who are going to name brand colleges. Just saying. I mean, ASU is a good school and all, but it still doesn't help that it's in fucking Arizona. Everyone expected me to get out of this shit hole, and I couldn't. Holy hell, I couldn't. And how the hell did they? I took the same fucking classes, and did it all in three years. Apparently that's not impressive at all.
It is just frustrating. 90 percent admit rate is something I can't get over.
I wish I was at UCLA. Then if anyone asks my parents where I'm going to college, they don't have to qualify it with "but she's only 17."

I know what you mean. I finished community college at age 16 or so, and applied everywhere. I got into a grand total of three schools - ASU, UCLA, and UCR. I thought I would have done a lot better, but no, that's not the way it works. I think it's the lack of extra-curricular activities - one year less, however you look at it.

Sometimes I wish I were at UCLA. It doesn't make as much a difference for my major as it does for you, but sometimes I kick myself. But I know that I would not have grown up if I hadn't moved out of my parent's range (I.e. not fifteen minutes away). So I wish that my parents were different.

My nieces and nephews are all going to Princeton. I do my best not to feel inferior.


I guess we just focus on what we do have, right?

But what does this mean for the out-of-state students who chose to come to ASU? The only thing they need to qualify it with is that you are in Barrett.
