I didn't really have a choice. My dad informed me that my college education was as good as paid for as long as I went to a state school... in that state. We lived in Fort Collins which made CSU way too close by so I was off to Boulder. The bad part was that I assumed my GPA and ACT score made me a lock to get in so I think I actually jotted my application essay on a piece of notebook paper and shoved it in the envelope. I found out later that some of my classmates who had similar grades and activities to mine had been wait listed and were lucky to get in so that might not have been such a brilliant move on my part...
