I’m definitely going to USC on a trustee scholarship.

Accepted:
Wellesley
Scripps-James E. Scripps half tuition scholarship

Rejected:
Brown
Harvard
Columbia
Stanford

I was debating between Wellesley and USC for some time, but I finally turned in my enrollment forms for USC. Some of my friends weren’t so supportive about me going to USC (they all wanted me to go to Wellesley) but they’re OK with it now. Funnily enough, all of my friends at Wellesley were telling me why I shouldn’t go there! It just goes to show this decision is really complicated.

If I had to do this again I would’ve applied to some UC’s and more small liberal arts colleges, but I’m happy with the way things turned out. Hope to see a bunch of you in August!
