Remember, this is a very very short time in your life (6 months or so) where everyone is extremely interested in where you went to college. After this? not so much.
Once you start college, people might say “where do you go/did you go to college” and you say “ABC U” and then they say “Cool” or “my nephew went there”. Nobody will ask you why you aren’t going to Harvard.
Average Very Smart Students think that their hard work should get them into T20…but your very hard work has gotten you into a Honors Program with very much scholarships. That is awesome!
