Being a hormonal teenage girl, one would think that the top of my worries would be tomorrows outfit, the horrendous zit on the side of my nose (just for example by the way, I haven't had a bad bad pimple in a while. Thank you clyndamycin!) or the fact that I don't party hardy or get out of the house much.
Instead, my days are numbered as college applications start storming in for this years seniors. Ate Madel made UCSD, UCI, and just now UCLA, her top pick. I'm extremely happy for her. Seriously! :D haha. Anyways, now that my worry for her is over, I find myself worried about this year and the following five.
I would give my left breast to get into UCSD, seriously. That is my top of the top pick. I'm not even hung up on an ivy league (which the old me, circa 1999-2003, would have wanted. Cornell was my dream school in seventh grade. OH how things have changed!
UCSD.
UCSD.
UCSD.
I don't think theres anyone else out there who wants to go there as much as I do. But the thing is, this deep desire to go and become a pediatrician is not reflected in my grades. 3.9 weighted, even lower unweighted. 1630 on my SATs, barely passed my Euro ap test...what's so special about me grade wise? Nothing.
Extracurriculars is where I'm hoping to pull them in. Idk if being born at UCSD Medical center counts as a special condition or something special, but I do remember my severe burn back in second grade. I was a guinea pig for their new silicon sheets laced with skin cells to heal my burn without and skin grafts. This was done at ucsd, and it's the main reason why I have such an intense passion to go study there. They kept me from having surgery, they sparked my interest in being a pediatrician, their work created this new love for all things medicine, and I really really really want to go there.

I NEED TO GET INTO COLLEGE. OMGGGGG. Anything less than UC and I'd feel like I cheated myself. :[ I'd seriously feel like I failed everything I've worked for, especially having to live up to the greatness that is Madelaine. ;; UCLA...man, that's amazing.
