A Biography of this Business Student - Part Two

I recommend reading A business student biography Part One before this post, which covers my bio as an awkward overachieving child up to high school. Part Two will pick up with the end of my high school career and my transition into college.

Soooo…. after receiving my ACT results in January of my junior year, I began to research universities and programs endlessly. With my overachieving resume, perfect GPA, and fairly good ACT score, I figured I could go somewhere big for college. I examined basically every college in the US, including Dartmouth, Amherst, Emory, DePaul, Bowling Green, UNLV, Macalaster, Minnesota, Boston University and St. Thomas, among many more schools.

To make a long story short, I ended up applying to Minneapolis schools and to Boston University, in hopes of receiving their full ride trustee scholarship. I realized that cost was really my main issue since I realistically couldn’t afford the most elite schools that I may have had a chance at. In retrospect, I wish I would have applied to an Ivy or U of Chicago to see if I could have gotten in, but oh well.

Anyways, I ended up getting a range of scholarships from the schools I applied to, but finally settled on the premiere business school in Minneapolis / St. Paul because of its esteemed program and low relative cost compared to similar programs. So I sent some money to enroll and the rest is history.

Up to this point, I’ve enjoyed most of it. The party scene is a little less than I anticipated, but overall I think I’m pretty satisfied with my choice to attend this school. A nationally ranked business program for state tuition levels leaves little to be desired academically. So follow my journey, and feel free to agree with all my ideas in the comments along the way.
