| "Do they understand that you might not want to be a business major, or are you too afraid to tell them?"
I have told them many times. My mom is quick to say that I'm just being silly and she's not going to pay for "some useless education" otherwise. For them, basically, Vassar is not really in the question anymore. And yes, my parents are very into the "prestige" factor of things. They make sure to say that I got into NYU Stern when people ask.
I will tell you that I was much, MUCH more happy/relieved to get my Stern acceptance than when I got my Vassar one. I know that ultimately I'll probably be working in the business world somewhere. My main concern is that I won't be a very well rounded person if i go to Stern, but perhaps that can be remedied with my elective space. At Vassar I know I can do anything I want, but it won't prepare me well for that business world that lies after graduation.
What makes me so unsure is that it's really hard for me to turn down an opportunity like Stern. Sigh, it would be a LOT easier if I got off one of my waitlist schools! I'll be visiting Vassar this weekend hopefully if my parents are willing to make the drive up there.
In the meantime, please, lend me more of your comments! |
