I got an acceptance letter to Harvey Mudd today!

I still can't believe it. I applied on a whim, on the reccommendation of some relatives, some two weeks before the application was due. And they accepted me.

For those of you who are not acquainted with Harvey Mudd, it is one of the best engineering schools in Southern California. It's actually ranked 14th for best Liberal Arts Colleges by U.S. News and World Report. I don't take much stock in rankings, but that shows you how good it's supposed to be.

I'm very, very happy right now. You would not believe it until you saw the newspaper headlines tomorrow: "Teen Breaks through Roof after College Letter." I'm jumping that high.

Unaccepted

MIT decisions went online today, and I was rejected. Now let's wait for another 2 weeks to find out how it went with the other schoools...

And a 6 Year Legacy Dies...

I'm making the closing speech at the Baccalaureate ceremony at the Crystal Cathedral.

A Rather Unexciting Entry

The district competition for the Baccalaureate speakers was last Wednesday. Unfortunately it is going to take a week to get the judges' evaluations tabulated (a week for simple calculator math!), so I can't say how I did yet. I assure you that I will announce it as soon as I find out from Mr. Marks. I would say how I think I did, but I'm afraid of jinxing myself.
My life has been rather unexciting of late, unless you're the type who finds school, homework, and procrastinating the former exciting. On Friday I head up to German Camp, though, so next week there should be an interesting entry up here.
I am in the process of deciding what AP tests to take in May, since the deadline has got to be sometime soon. If anyone has some advice on what subjects to waste 80 bucks on, I just might listen. At the moment, I am considering taking Calculus AB and German, because those would provide the most useful credits in college. If the deadline for signing up happens to be after receiving all the acceptance letters, this decision would be much, much easier.
