I remember receiving the acceptance letter to the school I most wanted to attend but didn't end up going to. I applied to U of Southern California, Baylor, Carnegie Mellon, Wash U (in st. louis) u of I urbana champaign, university of pittsburgh.
I REALLY wanted to go to USC. I researched their music program, which was one of the best, and thought I would LOVE to go to CA. I received my letter on a Wednesday, right before I had to go to my piano lesson (yes geeky I know). I ran in with the fat envelope and was screaming "i got in!" to my parents. The letter said Congratulations you have been admitted to USC and came in a huge "welcome to the trojan family" folder. But in the end, I didn't go to USC because they didn't give me enough aid.
So I went to Baylor, which is about as different as you can get from USC. But it was still a good experience!
