It Doesn't Matter

Applying to College
1

Where you go to college.

I mean, yeah, I guess it does if financial aid is a big issue. But for all the kids who are like “Harvard or Yale? Help help!” or “Duke/Vanderbilt/Georgetown,” they’re all around the same caliber schools. All of the colleges you applied to should fit your basic minimum requirements, so you should base it on what feels the best for you. You don’t have to justify it, or make pro/con lists or whatever, because honestly? College is college is college, and most CC’ers aren’t choosing between Princeton vs. community college. I seriously doubt in ten years it’ll change your life whether the name on the diploma reads “Penn” vs. “Pomona.” At the very worst, you can always transfer.

Oh, and congratulations to everyone again.

<p>There are two decision-making</a> personalities-- "maximizers" and "satisficers."</p>

<p>You are a satisficer. It's a good way to reduce anxiety. However, I will defend my maximizer tendencies:</p>

<p>Indeed, positive people will be happy anywhere they go. After the final decision has been made, all we can do is make the best of what we've got. Until then, however, it may be useful to spend a reasonable amount of time weighing out our options to ensure that our next four years will be the best they can possibly be.</p>

<p>It's not worth growing an ulcer over, but it's definitely worth doing a few days of research.</p>
