I applied to 12 different schools [what the hell was I thinking?] and I got into all but one of them.

My senior year in HS I was really big on the whole "I need to continue my Catholic education" thing, so I really wanted to attend a Catholic University--so naturally I applied to Notre Dame [my first choice], Seattle University, University of San Francisco, Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount, and Fordham.

Just in case we couldn't afford it, I also applied to Washington, Wazzu, UNLV, Oregon, and Colorado State...oh, yeah...and Hawaii, of course.

I got into all of them [Notre Dame and Gonzaga put me on their wait lists, but I eventually got in] except one...Washington flat out rejected me. Ha!

It was always my dream to attend Notre Dame, and I'm looking into Graduate School over there. It's a good thing I didn't go though...they have no Greeks there!
