<p>Folks, calm down.</p>
<p>I haven’t logged onto CC for a long time, and when I finally did today I saw 21 notifications lol. You guys really blew up this thread! :)</p>
<p>First of all, I’ve been applying for scholarships ever since junior year of high school! So it’s not like I just started applying for scholarships. The reason I started this thread was because I’m still interested in applying for scholarships, and just had a simple question. Didn’t really expect that to become this.</p>
<p>Next, I declined UAH’s offer. It was tempting and great, but there were a few personal reasons for this. Btw, comparing UAH and UC Berkeley is like comparing a Mercedes Benz/Rolls Royce/[insert name of luxurious car] and a Tata Nano/1995 Toyota Corolla/[insert name of cheap car]. They’re clearly not on the same scale - both are public schools, just one is #1 and the other doesn’t really rank. Not downplaying UAH, but if you gave these 2 choices to any student, they’d be going for UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>My story is actually quite funny. May 1 is the deadline for making college decisions, but even today I’m not sure 100% where I’m going.</p>
<p>I’ll let you guys know when I’m 100% sure where I’m going. And I hope once this college experience is over, I can post a story on CC about it. I’m sure I can inspire some of the guys who are going to apply for college later in the year. Thanks!</p>
