<p>I’m so sick of the argument that going to an expensive school means you’re rich or will graduate with a ton of debt. I’m going to the 5th most expensive school in the country- more expensive than Harvard- and to be honest with you, my tuition bill for this semester was $13.00.</p>
<p>
I’m so sick of people making conclusions based upon 1 data point. While you got a lot of financial aid based on your family income, others have to pay more for various reasons: rich parents, uncompetitive stats, international visa status, etc.</p>
<p>
econ is really easy
with that GPA, you’re not going to get any internships or co-ops
are you kidding? you might as well have been an engineering major with a 2.0</p>
<h2>your assumptions are pretty stupid.</h2>
<p>by the way, I was watching the amazing race the other day. This one dude was bragging how he went to Stanford for his BS. Guess what, they were the first ones to leave the show.</p>
<p>Yeah, but I’m learning not to. I’m a perfectionist…but as I go through life I’m learning that not everything goes according to plan and it doesn’t mean I’m worth any less. Ideally I’d be at my Tier 1 university in California making straight A’s paving my way to graduate school with no detours or bumps in the road. Everyone gets to their final goal in life a little differently. Society ingrains the idea into us that in order to be successful we have follow a set path and that it works for everyone.</p>
<p>I know I’m smart, I know what I’m capable of. I have to trust that I’m going to do great things no matter what mistakes I make along the way. So no, I no longer attribute my self worth to what I’m doing in college.</p>
<p>I absolutely rate myself based on those stats, because med schools will rate me based on those stats and according to those stats ill either have a set career with a successful future or be stuck with a biochemistry major that ill have no idea of how to get into a prosperous career.</p>
