I found out on Thursday evening that I have indeed got in to "the best" university. I wanted to put a photo from one of my recent walks but none of my photos are good enough to show how amazing this news is. So here's one from my holiday in New Zealand last year:
Yep, it's that amazing. Have I said there are only 20 places? And 450 applicants? I thought the interview went well, but I did make mistakes. I said that you find vitamin D in spinach. You don't. But it doesn't matter any more!
Since I found out I've been going through a cycle of elation, shock, confusion, fear, joy. Hopefully I'll eventually get to acceptance. I'm completely unable to make my mind up where I should go. I think I've put off thinking about this for so long that I now can't decide.
Today I wrote a list of pros and cons. It's extensive and it really isn't helping because some factors are more important than others. Also my situation is very unusual so other people's experience doesn't always apply. Some people are sure I should go to "preferred" university; some people are convinced I should go to "the best". I just don't know... I think I'm going to go and visit them both again before I make my mind up.
I'll keep you posted.
I knew you would do it :-) I say don't make any decision until you have re-visited both then, go with your heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely. I think I'm going to go tomorrow and Tuesday because the indecision is killing me and I want to make my mind up. Am leaning towards 'the best'...
ReplyDeleteAmber and Carlos both think 'the best' too... but we shall see! Keeping an open mind (trying to anyway) xx
YAYYY!!!! Good job!
ReplyDelete:-) Visiting universities that I applied to was the only way for me to make a choice. And it worked. Beautifully.
You can't make a wrong decision, so just make the one that follows your gut.

Thanks Angie! That's really good to hear. I think visiting is the answer because you can imagine yourself there and try to visualise what it'd be like. Fingers crossed I will just KNOW. If I really feel it, I'll know straightaway... fingers crossed x
