<p>I know this is an exceptional opportunity. But I have to give serious consideration to money and how I may do as a student there. Is it worth having my parents go into debt? That makes me feel very unsure. Also, I am scared I cannot hold my own against the brilliant people at the school - and that is just me being realistic. I have applied to several California publics and am not sure if I will get into them. I’m still in awe that I got into university of Chicago - I know my test scores did not in any way put me over the top. They were average-below average with the rest of the university of Chicago candidates.</p>
<p>If I’m having doubts about my intellectual capabilities, is this not the place for me to look towards? Or should I disregard my doubt and go for it? I don’t want to make a mistake</p>
