I don’t want to bash UGA because it’s not so bad, but honestly, it’s a party school, and they focus so much on sports, academics almost seem secondary.

Also, I know Syracuse is something like three hours away from NYC, it’s just that I hardly ever travel, and my sister and her hubby were being generous to me in offering a sort of “tour” of colleges in their area.

And I guess the letters are pretty useless in hoping to get a little ahead of the rest of the pack, but they have been helpful in opening me up to other colleges I hadn’t even heard of before but seem pretty good. Swarthmore? Amherst? I should do more research on these private colleges and see what I dig up.

I usually do pretty well on standardized tests. I was absolutely exhausted (like at the point when most of one’s speech is just incoherent babbling) when I took the psat’s, but I still managed to get that 94th percentile, which I heard almost qualifies me for the National Merit Scholarship…right? I’ll be retaking it next year (after a good night’s sleep), so I think I’ll do better. :)

Well, all I can say is that it definitely sucks being high need. Bahhh.
