So I'm definitely choosing NYU Stern even though I didn't hear back on the financial aid appeal I gave them. It's just that I can't imagine going to Georgetown. It's so...preppy and so...NOT diverse. Picture a stereotype come to life and that's what Georgetown is. Plus, their business school is NOWHERE compared to the ranking for NYU Stern. In fact, they even hired the old dean from Stern to come to Georgetown and try to improve their ratings. Plus, I LOVE NYU beyond belief and my cousin and dad can both help me out if I have problems. I had a very interesting time at the Georgetown reception called GAAP, which I shall write more about later. For now, I leave you with the blogring I made for all the people going to NYU Stern.

NYU Stern 2010!

UPDATE ON COLLEGE:

Summary
(for more details, read below)

UPenn [ED] : REJECTED
Dartmouth: REJECTED
Carnegie Mellon (Both Business & Humanities/Social Science): WAITLISTED
SUNY Albany: ACCEPTED
SUNY Stony Brook: ACCEPTED
SUNY Binghamton: ACCEPTED
Boston University: ACCEPTED

So this means I am 7/10. Not bad.

I now have an extremely tough decision to make between Georgetown and NYU Stern. If you have any thoughts on this, PLEASE let me know.

Georgetown hasn't sent me anything about financial aid yet, but I'm getting NO financial aid from Stern! Whyyyyy do the money gods hate me?! Now my mom wants me to work and earn $10,000 for each year. How impossible is that going to be? Oh well - I'm writing an appeal as suggested to me by my cousin who is a sophomore at Stern. My dad, who is an alum of the same school, is pleased at my acceptance.

So, just some notes on my college life since people are asking me left and right.

I applied early decision to: University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)

I got: REJECTED.

I applied regular decision to: Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business, Dartmouth, Boston University, Boston College, Georgetown McDonough School of Business, NYU Stern School of Business, SUNY Albany, SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Stony Brook for a total of 9 colleges.

I got accepted to: NYU Stern School of Business (official letter came!), Georgetown McDonough School of Business, Boston University, Boston College, SUNY Albany (Honors), SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Stony Brook (Honors).

Special stuff: I got named Dean's Scholar for Boston University which will give me $10,000 for the first year (non-renewable). No financial aid from them since apparently I'm not "eligible" because my mom makes a "lot". I got named Presidential Scholar for SUNY Albany which will give me $3,500 each year. I also got $3,000 from SUNY Stony Brook for getting into Honors.

I got rejected from: Dartmouth. I didn't really care about Dartmouth anyway. It's in the middle of nowhere with no undergraduate business school. So I don't mind in the least.

I am waitlisted for: Carnegie Mellon Tepper School of Business and College of Humanities and Social Sciences. I kind of minded about that school, especially Tepper, but because I got into other, much better colleges, I don't care much.

I am waiting to hear from: Nowhere. I'm done!

Scholarships: In the process of applying.

I hope this soothes your compulsion to ask about my college plans as per the mandate of the Stuy gene you have in your DNA. And my GPA is 93.75 if you were wondering.

EDIT: I ABSOLUTELY HATE MY MOTHER. I HATE HER SO GODDAMN FUCKING MUCH.

Just random thoughts: I'm in love with this hindi song that has the exact same beat as Turn Me On by Kevin Lyttle. I don't know why. It just sounds so catchy and is awesome. Friday was a fun day. A bunch of people played Dirty Minds and it was hilarious because teachers kept walking by and Michael kept reading the clues extremely suggestively. I am hoping to do a dance for the Diversity Week talent show and if I do (or even if I don't) you all better come watch. I can't wait for Grey's Anatomy tonight. I'm obsessed with that show. Too bad I have to wait for the goddamn Superbowl to be over. Why is it so popular anyways? Stupid football. It's the most boring sport. I've realized I don't need friends. I really really wanted to have the most awesome and kickass second term of senior year but it's so destructed already it really can't be reconstructed. So whatever. I will just spend my time with random people and try my best to have fun. I will also try to actually do my work. Life is a lot easier that way. A lot.

Wow, it's been over a year since I last posted. I'm not sure why I strayed from Xanga. Most likely my supreme laziness. Or, everything I was writing before seems so fucking trivial. Shit always happens. What is really the point of writing it out for the whole world? Perhaps, it's just therapeutic. Perhaps, I just want/need support. I was looking over previous entries and I realized how much of an idiot I was...and still am. Small things made me optimistic...and still do. There are no true friends...ever. Ever, ever, ever. No matter how much I wish, there will be backstabbing, or a boyfriend, or something. We're so close to being second term seniors and it's worse than ever. By now we should have been a super duper close group. Well, maybe they still are. But I'm sure as hell not included in that shit. I can't rely on anybody or anything anymore. And I'm so far behind in school despite the last day of classes already being over. I haven't taken so many tests, haven't handed in so many papers, it's a wonder if I'll make it into college. I still haven't submitted the supplements for my SUNYs or even any of the application for CUNY Honors. I'm fucked..and alone. I'm a loner and I've lost that one integral part of my life I could always count on...no matter what - my friends to pick me back up, but at least I've still got my music. Fuck my mom, and sister, and dad, and those "FRIENDS". No, you haven't done anything. I just am so tired of dealing with all of you. I've lost that WILL to do anything and all I can do now is sleep. Sleep, sleep, sleep. More sleep than you can ever imagine. So much, I don't do ANY of my work. Literally. For the past two years now, I've been isolated. The one good thing that has happened in that time that really made a difference in my life was ballroom dancing. And not for the reasons you think. I just really...liked it. I could forget about stuff for a while. It's been quite an experience. But seriously, what the fuck is the matter with me??? Maybe I'm just writing this for myself. I've tried everything else and have come back to Xanga after more than a year. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU NAMEETA?
