Holy hell 10 minutes!!
Wow, congratulation!
But then what are you doing here?
@StevenToCollege thank you haha. These are all super recent developments and up until Wednesday night I was still brokenhearted over getting deferred early. As for Caltech, my grandfather got his doctorate there…It’s kind of a family tradition, and it’s such an incredible school. Congrats to your S on Berkeley–that’s quite the accomplishment!
