Age: 17 Hometown: New York City High School: Stuyvesant Applications: 12 All Posts by Omosefe » Series Introduction » The wait is over. After long stressful weeks filled with indecisiveness, what if’s and unforgettable weekends, I am proud to say that I’ve decided to become a member of the NYU Stern School of Business Class of 2014!
This decision was the hardest I’ve ever made and I truly spent long hours trying to figure out which path would the “right” one. But the more I thought about it (and the more I read), I realized there was no decisive “right” choice. College is, as I’ve stated in my previous posts, what you make of it, but it seems as if I’d forgotten my original message amidst all the hullabaloo and hype about reputation and “career opportunities” after graduation.
Even though the Robertson Program at UNC-Chapel Hill and the Martin Luther King Scholars Program at NYU Stern were the last two choices standing, I had had a really tough time narrowing it down to two. The process was especially tough after reading the wonderful reader comments (which I must say were pretty persuasive), including those about Washington University in St. Louis.
Nevertheless, I am happy with my decision because I know in my heart that NYU was where I wanted to go all along. And funny enough, it seems like everyone else did too because when I told several of my friends, they simply responded “I knew that ages ago…what took YOU so long?” I guess the reason why I wrestled with it so much was that I really didn’t want to say no to so many amazing opportunities. But as the saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
At this point, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have helped me throughout this process, including my family, friends, counselors, the various admission officers, and of course, readers like you who’ve helped make this a truly exciting ride.
Now that I know where I’m going, I have two things to look forward to: graduation and prom (!!!). Both seem light years away, but I know time is moving faster than I realize and before I know it, I’ll be throwing my cap in the air in a bittersweet exultation, screaming “Yes!! We did it!” But for now: AP exams. I can’t wait until June 25.
