CLAIRE'S COLLEGE VISIT ADVENTURES!!

Hello dear readers (if there are even any these days),

My college admissions journey has come to an end! Albeit a stressful process that seemed to have no end in sight, I believe I have emerged from the depths of despair as a stronger and more mature student. 

Out of the 17 schools I applied to, I was accepted to 12 schools- Yale, Columbia, Stanford, UPenn, Johns Hopkins, Wellesley, Washington University in St. Louis, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and UC Irvine! I have narrowed down my choices to Yale, Columbia, and Stanford.

This week, I will be spending time at all three schools as part of their admitted students programs to gain a better feel for each respective school and ultimately decide where to spend the next four years of my life :) 

I am currently in the San Diego Airport waiting to board my red-eye JetBlue flight to JFK airport in New York City for the first leg of my journey- Columbia University!

I will also be posting pictures and reflections every day, so make sure to stay updated! However, this series is mainly a way for me to remember all the minute aspects and details of each school as I eventually weigh the pros and cons. 

BYE CALIFORNIA!! 

EDIT: I may not be able to update everyday because I'll be extremely busy with the programming offered at each school- my schedule is going to be jam-packed with events. But I'll definitely try to blog everyday!
