Berkeley一直是Dream school,是花功夫最多的一所学校。On campus class visit去了,on campus info session 去了,跟president of women in leadership,在读的一个女生也聊过,跟alumni也聊过...本来要赶R2的,无赖那时候已经拿了Ivey的offer和scholarship,看重加拿大一年的program,满以为3月就出发了,就放弃了Berkeley,R2的deadline就这么过去了。本来为了bf去加拿大,他是加拿大人也方便co-sign。可是他妈极度反对说了非常难听的话...关于贷款很多波折...于是折回美国寻自己的梦。
UC Irvine是拿Ivey offer之前就申了,因为他们给了我application fee waiver 已经拿了UC Irvine的AD 和$60k USD的scholarship,第二年再做个TA/RA就可以graduate without any debt了。南加州天气很好,校园很漂亮,UCI也给了不少其他的benifit。过去应该可以充个池塘里的“大鱼”。而且我是打算继续focus在high-tech的marketing,之后pursue entepreurship. Irvine是除了Berkeley之外不错的选择。
其实我有些害怕太多选择, once I had a not-bad choice, i just want to stick with it and make the best of it. Recently I'm thinking how to make best if I go to UCI instead I may could make more if i go to Duke or Berkeley. Sigh, just base on this thinking, I missed Berkeley R2 because i thought Ivey would be a good choice for me then.
