Jefferson sent me an interview. I have spent too much money already. I am done with interviews. Better give the interview spot to someone else. (12/26)

AECOM said yes!!! Really liked the school, among my top choices. Called the admission office, they were super nice. (01/15)

Northwestern!!!! one of my long shots!!! WOW, cant believe i actually made it there! Super happy, only bad thing would be the weather aside from that really liked the place! (01/19)


I pretty much narrowed it down to Northwestern, Einstein and FIU.
FIU offered me a $100,000 scholarship, that is full tuition!!! I am probably gonna end up there cuz of the money. (02/24)

Today, I sent emails to all the other schools withdrawing my application and acceptance. I have till monday (16) to fully decide where i am going. (03/12)


I decided that $100,000 is too much money to give away. I am going to go to FIUCOM. I already drop all my other acceptances.


Good luck everyone!
