It felt amazing just to get into a university, and a good one at that. I guess all the studying for school in nigeria (14 classes a year, very painful) paid off, becos they saw my nigerian school transcript (the british educational system in nigeria is brutal). I hope that others who want it as much as I do get in.</p>
