<p>Yeah, my parents have been pushing me heavily toward selective private schools that offer some form of merit (WUStL, UChicago), but I have this feeling that I’ll be lucky just to get in. I kinda feel like they have unrealistic expectations of me…it’s not worth it to go to a mediocre private school, yet it’s too expensive to go somewhere unless you get a scholarship. Kinda takes away, well, any option whatsoever. Hah. Talk about rock and a hard place.</p>
<p>But I suppose if you don’t apply, you never know. Maybe that’s all they care about.</p>
