One of my Favorite Stories Ever


My interview for Carleton was a bit different from other interviews. Namely, the interviewer told me stories about other schools I was applying to.

Here is, essentially, what he said two years ago about Tufts:

"Oh, Tufts! A friend of mine went to Tufts. He was stood up at the altar. He was devastated. But, they had this great around-the-world honeymoon trip planned. So he said, well, I've already got the trip planned, I'm gonna go anyway. So he went on the trip, and now he's a travel writer!"

I then proceeded to get waitlisted at Carleton. Now, I go to Tufts!

People are not terribly reliable. Education can guide you towards a fulfilling career path!
