For the longest time I thought that Stanford was where I wanted to go, but after getting rejected and going to check out other colleges, I realized that Stanford wasn't what I really wanted. This is my personal reflection on my struggle with the college admissions process and my emergence from "The Stanford Delusion".

Thanks for the read Cam. Being 17/18 is tough. Your dad sounds like a wise man. You sound like a stubborn and thoughtful kid. You'll do well.<p>CalPoly is great school. Make sure you take courses from Staley (tough but good). Use the Pass/Fail option liberally. Do the ACM Programming Contest.<p>Lastly, Disneyland has a weird enjoyment curve. Sometime around your age it lost its appeal. But by my late 30s it became one of my favorite vacation spots. And now with kids I love it again. Something about going to Disneyland with your parents on your 18th birthday was touching to me.

My first impression upon reading this was that it was written by someone very impressionable and obsessed with name brands. Perhaps that's just my adulthood talking, though.
