Colleges.

This is probably as personal as I'm ever going to get here.  But I had to give it a post before I erupt out of excitement.  I can't waaiitt to get out of here and go to college.




So far (in the US), I've got NYU, Boston College and Amherst in the bag.  Williams waitlisted me, but whatever (what does that mean?  Not literally, but what does that imply?  That they want me, kind-of-don't-want-me, think-that-I-don't-want-them, what?)

I will have to choose one of these (and out of hopefully more, come Wednesday).  Some stats:
Amherst College

Location: Massachusetts, USA
Campus: Suburban
Colors: Purple and white
Mascott: Lord Jeffrey Amherst
Endowment: $1.7 billion USD
Financial Aid to Intl Students: YES
US News and Report World Ranking: #1 for Liberal Arts

Boston College
Location: Massachusetts, USA (???)

Campus: Suburban
Colors: Maroon and gold
Mascott: Baldwin the Eagle
Endowment: #1.63 billion USD
Financial Aid to Intl Students: NO (and it costs some $52,000 to go there)
US News and Report World Ranking: 34th

New York University
Location: New York, USA
Campus: Urban (it doesn't have a campus...)
Colors: Violet and White
Mascott: Bobcat
Endowment: $2.5 billion USD (woah) (I just realized that the IVY league endowments are like... 17 billion each or something, with exception to monster-rich Harvard).
Financial Aid to Intl Students: Probably, but I didn't apply :(
US News and Report World Rankings: 33rd
So...  What now?
Was sadly wait-listed from Williams, though.
