Announcing College Decisions on Facebook?

If I get an acceptance from one of my top 5 choices (Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst, Middlebury), I’ll post a picture or screenshot of my acceptance letter, tag my parents thanking them for the support and add heartfelt words of resentment towards my country’s backwards government and education system.

Not many people apply to US colleges in my country. In fact I believe a total of 4 people are applying from my province of 1 million this year(and I’m the only one applying to Ivies), so an acceptance alone would likely get my face on a newspaper or two. My father has a few friends from the local media on facebook; hopefully tagging him will ensure that my criticism gets picked up by the press and published.

Just maybe it’ll be read by someone important and make a slight difference.
