yes sorry i meant above LOL. overall you know, Asian parents are numbers-heavy. He views things more holistically than other parents I think but i’ve kind of imbued myself with a type of tunnel vision? if that’s the right word. I will definitely look for more less selective colleges. one thing I would like to avoid is CSUs… CSULA is 15 minutes away from my house and I have no intention of going there. I also don’t like CSU’s in general? so I guess I’ll look farther away.
journalism is my career goal but not my intended major. I’ve received a lot of advice on this and I think journalism as a major is not my path. I’m more heavily interested in poli sci / IR anyways so I think this is a win-win for me. thank you for the advice about University of Missouri !! a little iffy on the location (i’d prefer either West or East Coast, with the outlier of Rice LOL) but I’ll definitely look into it. thank you !
