<p>rc251, i’m not generally wild about state schools (i hear that one of the biggest factors in getting into a good med school is the name of where you went to undergrad). i have trouble in the new public school i’m at, as when i find myself socializing with people outside of my classes, i get frustrated with stereotypical teenage superficiality (i mean, we all fall prey to it at SOME point, but come on…) so i’d like to be around fairly intellectual, thoughtful people.
that being said, i’m not interested in a SUPER small school (and none with religious affiliations). </p>
<p>alexandrafitzmor, the princeton hospital is not actually in very close proximity to the campus/town. it’s kind of in the middle of this strange little suburban neighborhood that you probably would never go through unless you really had to. in terms of my story, that’s sort of why i give speeches/lead groups at treatment centers. when i was in treatment, i kept hearing about how relapse rates were SO HIGH and it just felt kind of hopeless. i want people to know that lasting change really is possible. <em>cue cheesy music</em>

<p>i was honestly kind of expecting to be a bit bashed because i don’t have a perfect SAT score or a 5 on every AP ever created, but this has been really helpful (that’s not to say that i can’t take some constructive criticism…hah)</p>
