So as happy as I was to be accepted to Caltech, the ever present "where am I going" question remains. I know. It's all a very nice question to be in the midst of. But it's so confusing at the same time. There are extreme pluses and minuses to both places (aka, one's too close, one's too far away) but things I like about both. And there's a lot I can't yet figure in (like financial stuff). I honestly just want to make a decision. And I want to hear from everywhere else. And at some point, I will make a big long list of pros and cons of each place and then ignore all of the careful notes and make a gut decision. And the thing is, I predict I will be happy in the end.
But until then... I will just wait and leave up all my Caltech and MIT posters (I looked at my room last night and realized I have three Caltech posters and I haven't yet put up my MIT one... is that a sign?). Gah, I'm going to die. It isn't going to be fun.
WHY can't this be easy?
Good news is I only have three and a half days of school this week. And All-Eastern at the end of the week. So it should be a good week. But I can already tell that I'm going to be completely confused for a while. And really unnecessarily so.

It sounds like you've narrowed it down to just Caltech and MIT? The only advice I can give is don't panic or try to hard to make a decision until you've been to both PFW and CPW. The discrepancies there will make the correct school for you painfully obvious.
Also, I thought you were considering lots of places for their music programs? Caltech's orchestra is shared with Occidental, and not terribly serious. Not sure if this should factor into your decision or not.
Haha, no I haven't. But it seems to be the most obvious comparison right now.
