Hello seniors and everyone who was once or soon will be one! We all know how crazy the experience of high school is, but in what ways is college the same? I ask this because I was recently accepted into one of my top choices…but there was one huge contingency…if I go, I will have to start in January of 2009. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me (I applied for the Fall semester, their admissions process admits most students during ED/EA…which I obviously didn’t know then). Anywho, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I should do because I have been accepted to other schools but this one is the one I want to go to the most by far. I don’t know what I would even do for the Fall 2008 semester…take courses at another school? that just seems cruel. I don’t want to make friends and then have to say goodbye…

I guess what I keep coming back to is, how alike is high school and college in social situations? For me, high school was SO important for making friends that I still have today…I would think college (especially since mine is out of state) is the same…am I wrong?

If anyone has anything to say I would very much appreciate it. I am visiting the school and meeting with some counselors over spring break next week, but I want to have good questions prepared.

Thanks! :)
