As some of you know, early college decisions are going out/went out this weekend.

I just got into Stanford, and I'm incredibly excited =D!

I have tried to stay off of Facebook, because my best friend got deferred, and I don't want him to feel bad. That said, I wanted to share with someone.

What are your results? Where are you headed? Celebrate! Be happy! Perhaps, with enough TF2 players, we could meet up for a LAN in college.

Here's to all the seniors in high school! Best of luck in college.

Deferred from Harvard.
Pretty disappointed but it's what I anticipated.

Gonna start working on Yale/MIT/UPenn/Maybe Princeton next along with others.
Worst part about getting deferred (besides the ~3% accept rate of deferred students) is that I now have to write about 20 more essays...
Oh well.

Grad school apps were the worst but I'd trade it to not be in grad school.

I mean.

Fuck why am I not writing more papers.

Applied to a bunch of small private liberal arts schools in the midwest and pacific northwest.

A few (4-5) of my friends got accepted early to Harvard like yesterday or something so that was pretty sick lol.

I thought I was done with applications after I got into grad school. But now I'm applying for grants and fellowships. They're slightly better because you don't have to pay an application fee. But you do have to explain how your research is going to change the world, which is a lot of pressure.

Got into econ for UCSB, too bad transfer applications aren't due for at least two or months for privates. And honestly don't worry about what college you get into, because as cliche as it sounds, its what you do that will count. I personally had a friend who went to a barely top 50 school and still got a position at Goldman Sachs along with other elite finance firms where the acceptance rate is much lower than Harvard(2% vs 6%) and had to beat multiple 4.0 Ivy students during the interview process. But nonetheless, congrats to everyone on getting in.
