Hi,

As I currently play the waiting game to hear back from the colleges, thoughts of second-guessing and wondering 'where else should I apply to' are on my mind.
The fuzzy feeling that everyone [according to my college counslor] gets after 30 seconds of hanging out on the campus they fall in love with that, it really never came to me.
Right now, it's in the middle of my senior year, near the end of college application time, and I feel the opportunity of selecting a college slip away.
My priorities include a college with a student body of smaller size [less than 10,000] and in a relatively large city and urban campus; along with a general liberal arts program and a location within 7-8 hrs of cleveland, home. I've always checked the 'undecided' box on the standardized tests, and every source of info has gently reminded that majors change all the time.

[my sisters, one started in mechanical engineering and ended up in poly science; the other started in biomed and ended up in social work.]

So far, Canisus [buffalo]; marquette [milwaukee] and pittsburgh have been sent out; and kalamazoo is on the way shortly.
Alums' advice and responses are greatly appreciated.

/reads this over, sees that it may be a bit vague for readers, unsure of what else background info I could give in order to give you a good perspective of my status.

/If you feel annoying that a college-bound teen is asking for info and venting, well, sorry.
I believe Tilted living is an appropriate where we could intelligently discuss matters like these.

thanks,
keyshawn..
