No college admissions frenzy for me.

Same thing happens in Texas.
I was in the top 10% of my class, so I was guaranteed admission at any Texas public. In the first round, though, I applied at Michigan (#1) and Rice (back up) and got into both. I still remember getting extremely excited when the Michigan packet came. Count me as one of the people who enjoys the fancy packaging.
Dad didn't want me attending school out of state, so I had to go through another round of applications. I skipped out on UT (it was too close to my HS town -- I wish I would've applied now), but got admitted to the other 3 universities I applied to.
I was torn between UTA and UTSA, but because of the San Antonio flooding in 2002, UTA won out. I'm happy with my alma mater.
