Lack of Concentration
UC Berkeley accepted me and gave me a $1000 in scholarship, along with about $23,000 in loans. It's a positive development, although the Chicago deal has all but sealed my college decision. The whole acceptance/rejection rush has really made me too jittery to concentrate on work that desperately needs completion though.
I know what you mean in terms of the rush, except as a spectator. I've been watching as all of my friends get their decisions and the physics chapters continue neglected.
By the way, just as a reminder...Princeton gives some pretty dang good aid. It would take a lot to turn down a full ride at U Chicago, but keep it in the back of your mind that Princeton might make an offer that would make it a two-horse race to attain the services of the legendary Adam Anderson.
Maxwell, I sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm, but alas, it is just that: enthusiasm. Princeton offerred me a grand total of $0 in financial aid.
