That's right. I also got rejected from Harvard too, obviously. None of those other colleges suited me (except maybe UChicago, which I was admitted to). They're all too political for my liking.
I just came back from an admitted students reception for MIT. :lol:

It honestly felt different at first because I was the only person in high school taking the course at the college but then I thought of the fact I had to play people that much older then me when I would play YGO (the people all looked about 5-10+ years older then me) (I should also note that I was REALLY anxious at first). I'm fine with it now and am okay with the content but I'm really not liking how it's taught. I have the textbook and class notes I have so I can teach myself the stuff and review it. So far, I'm really only liking it for the content it has with the fact it's psychology and something I like, that's about it really. I'll still do my assignments and classwork obviously because I'm expected to do that and get good grades. Not to mention that I like the content and the assignments are the application of that which is a plus at least.

It's good that you can teach yourself the content. College classes are held very differently than regular high school classes, so it's normal to feel out of place at first.
If, after a while, you still don't feel comfortable, you might want to consider taking an online class. That's what I did. It lets you learn your own way, at your own pace.

Yeah college classes are handled differently in high school classes and I that is something that I had already known (sorry if that sounded like I was being a prick, I'm not trying to be but I'm sure you already knew that :D) and was looking forward to it but I was still anxious at to experience it at first just because of the environment and seeing the older people in a classroom setting. It really is one thing to know and another to experience. I'm glad I got that experience though still because you have to be open to new things.

It sounds wonderful to have educational experiences not constrained by what constitutes the average in high school! I wish I could take real, non-self-study college classes. :D

Nine minutes more...
