I don't know if I ever said this (I have a feeling that I have but I'm not sure) but I got into University of Chicago, the only school to which I applied. I applied Early Action and found out before sending out any other applications, still, in hindsight it was pretty dumb not to apply anywhere else. I'm getting a bunch of financial aid, but if they hadn't offered me so much, I probably would have had to go to my local community college or something.

While I agree that it would have been a good idea to apply to more universities, I just want to congratulate you on a unique and incredibly fun essay topic!
