Recap

Long time no post, eh?

So, the rest of the college road trip became incredibly hectic, and I just forgot to make time to post what happened on the rest of the days.  And, as a result of the time that has passed, I have forgotten most of the details myself.  For the condensed version of the outcome of the trip, I was able to sort all of the colleges into a "short list" so to speak.

The most successful part of the trip was in effect that I was able to identify a top reach, match and safety school.

1. Tufts University (match)
1. Princeton University (reach)
1. Providence College (safety)
2. Boston College
3. Colgate University
3. Hamilton College
^^to expound a bit about this, I really adored Hamilton, but the student body is smaller than my high school currently, which I don't think I would like at all.

All the rest of the schools fall underneath those, in some random jumble of ratings.

There were a couple of schools, however, that I struck from the list:

- Emerson College
- Vassar College
- Northeastern University
- Salem State University

Instead of going to Salem State University to visit, I discovered it had a rather bad student retention rate, and toured Boston College in its place.

I say Boston University is a semi-no because at the point in the trip that I visited it, it took a lot more to keep my attention, and nothing there did it for me.

Other than that, I believe you should be all caught up in the wild and crazy ride that was my "College Road Trip," so thanks for joining me on the journey, and look for more posts coming soon!
