Selecting your college
-
0:00 - 0:03- Congratulations, you're in!
-
0:03 - 0:05This, your life, just changed.
-
0:05 - 0:08You're going to college,
and that's amazing, -
0:08 - 0:10and you should be so excited about that.
-
0:10 - 0:13I'm jumping up and down
just thinking about it. -
0:13 - 0:15Your life just changed.
-
0:15 - 0:17The truth of the matter is now I imagine
-
0:17 - 0:20perhaps, maybe, you
got into more than one. -
0:20 - 0:22You have several schools
that you're thinking about -
0:22 - 0:25and, maybe, you're even
surprised and pretty excited, -
0:25 - 0:29but now, actually, we find
often the most confused, -
0:29 - 0:31'cause now you have to make
-
0:31 - 0:35a significant decision
that really dictates, -
0:35 - 0:37sort of, the beginning
of the rest of your life. -
0:37 - 0:40Which place should I go to?
-
0:40 - 0:42The truth of the matter is
-
0:42 - 0:43you need to do your homework,
-
0:43 - 0:46you need to really do a deep dive
-
0:46 - 0:49into the nature of these institutions
-
0:49 - 0:50and ask all of the questions
-
0:50 - 0:55you possibly can, of
yourself, about one thing, -
0:55 - 0:59and that is, "Where will
I be deliriously happy?" -
1:00 - 1:02If you can answer that question,
-
1:02 - 1:05by looking at these
respective institutions, -
1:05 - 1:07and part of it might be
even in the engagements -
1:07 - 1:08and interactions you might have
-
1:08 - 1:11with undergraduates who you talk to,
-
1:11 - 1:12or other people who've attended there,
-
1:12 - 1:14if you can answer the question,
-
1:14 - 1:16"Where can I be deliriously happy?"
-
1:16 - 1:19then that's the answer to the question,
-
1:19 - 1:21and that's where you should go.
