<p>So…PFW turned out to be incredible. While it being clear that Caltech would be very tough and difficult to succeed at, the people there really drew me in. There was much more diversity in terms of personality than I had suspected there to be. The community was incredibly tight-knit. I could see how connected people were and how much they cared for each other. I’m still concerned about it maybe being way too hard there and I not being happy because of it, but I welcome challenge in exchange for success I think. Caltech seemed to still be a…fun…place. I’d say I’m leaning towards Caltech now, and a bit more assistance from the financial aid office (special circumstances) would probably push me in.</p>
