I was speaking sincerely in response to your statement:

but i dont really wanna stuck there for 4 years.



You did say you might change your mind after coming here, but this sort of attitude is not going to help you in the slightest. If you feel like you will be stuck, then you shouldn’t come here. If you feel your education will be hindered, then you shouldn’t come here. I am offering advice both in your best interests based on your statements and those who lost out on a spot to someone who currently believes they would be stuck if they had to remain at UCSC for four years.

I obviously can’t do anything to direct your choice and I wouldn’t want to. That’s your decision. But I do ask that you not have such a horrible attitude. If you come in with a chip on your shoulder, it’s possible you’ll never brush it off and actually enjoy the wonderful opportunities that exist.

I also reiterate that prestige in anything does not mean you will receive a quality education unless you seek out all opportunities available. You have to work to receive a good education. It won’t just be handed to you. Again, I am speaking sincerely.
