it's not the first time the government was on the edge of shutting down. I remembered during clinton's admin, the government had to shut down twice but this one is more severe because of the economy. *Sigh* I hope things'll go well till i graduate.

You know, the way the government almost shut down this Friday, I don't doubt there's ridiculous budget cuts everywhere... All your passion is gone? D: Tell me I'm misinterpreting! And geez, all the money issues floating around are really killing people these days...

sometimes i wonder if i had tried my best, i would have been accepted to some Ivys but i'm happy with where i am. My school is not too bad but it's not on top either. Just thinking of dedicating 4 years in college just study and not having time to do anything else frustrate me. If you really want it, go for it. Whether it's NW or Harvard, just learn to enjoy your life, will ya?

ucla isnt an exception w/ the budget cut. I think even berkeley has budget cut too. I think the worst matter is public schools nowadays cant hire new teachers. I feel like my passion has all gone w/ my current professors. Not just me but my friends as well but the schools cant do anything about it since they have no budget....

Schools are just looking for like Affirmative Action stuff and "diversity". Which works against us asians :P. All these weird decisions are making me nervous for next year...Awww... I'm sorry about the budget cuts! That sucks! Isn't UCLA already expensive enough without adding all this bad cuts?

Yeah...My friend got waitlisted from Harvard when another friend of mine w/ the EXACT same stats in SAT, ACT, and GPA got accepted. They both had around the same leadership qualifications and E.Cs too. The waitlisted one did research tho as well as placed 2nd in a national tournament...but yeah, the other friend (same school and they're friends) was accepted. The accepted is Syrian, other is Asian

Yep. Med school if I can manage getting into the accelerated/guaranteed med programs. If not, then I guess I'll go do business :P
And yeah, you can finish MUCH sooner with these programs, but you have to sacrifice lots of school time. But I would've sacrificed summers anyways, since I plan on doing research in college :D!
