<p>yeah, the meeting is going to be at the beginning of January (I tried to arrange something for next week but they said they were closed for the holidays).</p>
<p>My other option I still have open is UCs. Hopefully I’ll get into Berkeley, but if not then UCSD.</p>
<p>Yeah… I really don’t want to take a gap year (so I’m declared financially independent?)
I feel it’s not bad to take a few years off after college to work even if you intend to go to grad school, but skipping a year or two before college seems like it would cause more problems with the age gap as well as other issues.</p>
<p>Hopefully the meeting will go well. Do you know until when we have to decide/ have to withdraw our other applications?</p>
