“I want to go to a school

that people have heard of

and that I can be

proud of having gone to.”

“My parents tell me I shouldn’t

worry about the money,

but I’m the oldest of 3 kids…

about the money!”

“I don’t even think

I want to be a doctor,

but I feel like what I want

doesn’t count; med school

is all my parents talk about.”

"I’ve decided to attend

College X because I think

it would better enhance

than College Y."
