I was in a state of disbelief when I received offers of admission to my top four choices: Harvard, University of Southern California, New York University Stern, and Northwestern University. I still don’t think I have been able to internalize this reality. The feeling of complete euphoria I experienced upon seeing the admissions letter confetti was overwhelming. I am happy to say that the stress and hard work of the college process have fully paid off. [Jordan, University of Southern California]
