The Luxury of Choice

I got a call today from one of my other schools, letting me know to expect an acceptance letter in the next few days. That was nice of them.

I also sent my denial to another school today. It felt weird - like I'm afraid that UCSF is somehow going to change their minds, or there will be some clerical error and I won't be able to go - so telling another school "no" felt wrong.

I'm still pleased that I got into ANY school at all, so getting into multiple ones is overwhelming. Even though I am quite sure I've picked the right school, I am nonetheless questioning every other offer that comes my way. The last school I went to was the only one I applied to, so I didn't have any decisions to make. I did a round of apps almost 10 years ago and got in nowhere, so I know how that feels and I didn't want to be in that position again.

Reality continues its slow descent upon me.
