<p>My freshman year self only knew schools with huge football programs, so I think he’d be happy.</p>
<p>Probably. Maybe she’d be mollified by the honors college aspect. </p>
<p>I think my freshman self would be very happy… once she knew and googled all about the school I’m going to now. I honestly had no idea where I wanted to go other then definitely not my state school.</p>
<p>Yes, he would be disappointed. Little would he know, I would only apply to two schools, Berkeley and Sacramento and get rejected from Berkeley (EECS). Berkeley was always a dream school that I thought I was guaranteed admission just comparing myself to the people that get in / basing things off of the reputation that it gets (well not when I applied for EECS haha!).</p>
<p>Even more surprising for him would be the fact that I wanted to go to Sacramento State–in middle school everybody was divided up into teams and the smart student crowd (based on classes taken) were all on the Hornets while people said that is opposite of what they should be–Bears. Sacramento State is the looked much down upon school that almost no “smart” person wants to attend. I am however enjoying my stay at Sacramento State / have built up some rival relations with Berkeley (not out of jealousy, but because in some aspects my school is able to compete against the much higher tier being!) </p>
<p>I think my freshman year self would be stoked! Heck, my 6th grade self would be too. She would be a little confused at first as to why I was attending one school for my first year of college before going to my dream school, but once I explained to her the GT process and how I would get to spend 3 awesome years at Cornell and graduate from there, she’d completely understand. I mean, this was all that I really wanted 
</p>
<p>My freshman self is yet to be, so he can’t comment.</p>
<p>Freshman me wanted to go to UMD College Park or CC for a year. I am going to Georgetown. Freshman me would be impressed.</p>
