- Notes
- It used to be a dream school but turned out "the worst nightmare is when the dreams come true". Learned a lot while preparing for it, and got into an extremely cool school and an awesome lab somewhere else already. So not feeling that bad, but man, they did not even care to write my name in that rejection letter -- very brutal. Not even a little dear. I put my heart out in the application and looked forward to it, been thinking about the program even in my sleep for nearly half a decade. Well, was realizing that I was not a good fit anyways due to their weird priority change recently. Happy that it ended well. Future applicants: they destroyed one of the finest things they had, they contaminated the Karman tradition and school, they destroyed the Milikan`s dream. So don`t take it for what it used to be. Their beliefs have changed -- but can`t blame them, it was necessary.
