اول از همه چون من زود ادمیت شدم دیگه دانشگاها با اولویت پایین تر اپلای نکردم. دایره دانشگاهای عجیب غریب دلیل داره. رو هوا اپلای نمی کردم برای هر کدون دلیل داشتم. بنا به دلیلی که نمی تونم بگم یه نقطه قوی من مجبورم نگم و باید بگم اون خیلی تاثیر داشت و فقط استادا در جریان بودند. برای همین سراغ یسری دانشگاها مثل پرینستون رفتم. برای من بشخصه مهم تر از رنک دانشگاه حمایته که سر ویزا میشیگان منو پوکوند همون بهتر که دکلاین کردم :دی
