After finally completing my last college interview, I thought I was home
free! Everything seemed so simple. I could focus on schoolwork again. I didn't
have to worry about interviews. Applications were done.
Little did I suspect that yet another college alumnus would contact me and
that UC Berkeley wanted more information, as my father and uncle were alums, and
I was considered a disadvantaged youth.
Although I was happy that I was given an opportunity to interview for the
University of Pennsylvania, I really didn't enjoy having to do more work. I had
just begun to make plans again, and had just begun getting more involved in
academia. The interviews and additional essays detracted from my experience,
forcing me to reorganize my recently glued together life.
College is about change, and going with the flow. I didn't expect the
admissions process to be the same.
