HOLY HOLY UNBELIEVABLE CRAP! Are you friggin' kidding me NYU? 40K ++ for a year at your school and you're not even a top 10 school!?

*takes a deep breath*

ok..this shocking discovery 5 hours ago has prompted me to talk about an issue which I now hold very dear to my heart, seeing I may have to sell a kidney and another body organ just to get through both undergraduate and graduate schools.

Here's a situation: Suppose kid A has potential to great things (sounds cheesy but just bear with me) so she applies to these great top 10 schools and gets accepted. Oh oh wait...she CAN'T afford the heavy tuition. So what does she end up doing? She goes to a local school that's prolly not as good as those top 10 schools but are fine according to normal standards. She graduates, gets a job and then when she's looking for a job, she doesn't get a pay that's on par with the other top 10 college graduates. and subsequentially, they go off earning way more and get progressively richer. Is this another case of the rich getting richer and the poor just getting a mediocre rise into middle class america? There aren't enough full scholarships in America to provide the growing millions of teenagers who deserve a good education, both undergrads and graduates.

So yea...anybody want a kidney?

Ah yes. I know it's been so long since I've last updated but....I've been busy-ish. Well, I did have a little thing called Malaysia and SAT words to memorize along with summer reading so you can't exactly blame me for my lack of correspondence with the blog.

Anyway, on to more important things *clears throat* I am officially choosing NYU as my top choice college. :D



yes, yes...after months of deliberating back and forth, taking medical schools, states, majors and such into consideration, I now upgrade NYU to the "premium" status in Tasha's Unnerving List of Colleges. (TULOC). You hear that NYU administrators? There's a student out there who's sealed her faith in your college at the beginning of junior year so if you so happen to stumble upon her rather obscure blog, do accept the application. I should get some points for this early EARLY decision after all. *nudge nudge* :D
