Down to the Wire
Wrestling with multiple schools as decision deadline approaches
BY ASHLEY MILLER
I couldn’t understand how my friends could be so carefree. Didn’t they know
it was April? Didn’t they have college decisions to make? Mine took over my life
- monopolizing my thoughts, afflicting me with insomnia and making my head spin.
While I wandered dazed through each day, they were acting like there wasn’t a
problem in the world.
Out of the 11 (yes 11!) schools I had applied to, it came down to three schools:
Boston University, University of San Diego, and Gonzaga University. I heard from
the last school, USD, on April 15th, exactly 15 days before I had to declare. My
parents, already sensing the emotional distress that I was feeling, frantically
scheduled trips to Boston and San Diego, conveniently coinciding with my spring
break the third week of April.
