[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a poor area where many people do not attend college and if they do, they don't aspire to go somewhere out-of-state or excellent. I was bright and academically motivated, and the University of Colorado at Boulder was my dream school. With my grades, everyone was certain I would get in and probably receive considerably aid. One of my high school teachers pushed me hard to apply to Harvard as well. I was accepted at Harvard and rejected from CU Boulder, so I went to Harvard. I hadn't applied anywhere else. If I found myself back in the same situation as a freshman now, I would do the same things academically, but I would try to get a scholarship to a boarding school so that my high school years could be more enjoyable. I loved Harvard and would choose it again, and I am so happy now that CU Boulder rejected me. [/quote]
