回家路上

面试结束, 才发现原来UPenn 这么好, 不愧是个Ivy League 学校 founded by Benjamin Franklin 一直以为它是个比较大的州立大学,以为跟Penn State是一个学校, 原来是我知识太少… 好学校, 学费果然不一样。 一年下来就要九万多美金。 Financial Advisor 说不要想怎么付第一年的九万, 而是要考虑四年下来三十六万多美金怎么付。 一定要做好准备, 想尽一切办法secure funding 呵呵。。。 看来我要是不申请军队奖学金, 还真上不起。 我觉得面试发挥的还算成功, 就是不知道人家会怎么决定了。 早上起大早赶晚集, 到了学校竟然找不到车位停车。 到了点了没办法,只好扔在一个只许停两个小时的地方,结果下车没跑几步就看见大大的一个P字。 已经晚了就认了吧。 回来一看被罚了$26块钱。Philadelphia 好潮啊, 有点难收。 但是学校里感觉不到。 到了旧楼里,真的有点很古老的感觉。 18几几年的风格设计, 据说以前没有灯的时学校利用天花板上的玻璃设计拿阳光当灯使。 可想有多古老了. 面试完了就还车去了飞机场. 西装就这么一直穿着, 感觉跟个真事儿人儿似的. 呵呵 抱个电脑写这些没用的东西, 人家还以为我做生意的呢. 小时候谁会想到十几年后我会在美国, 坐在亚特兰大的机场里, 写自己去一个Ivy League 学校面试的经过? 就跟我跟面试教授谈话中说的似的, “You never know where life could take you to.”

 

To my children and grand children (in the future), let it be known that there was a time when your father/grandfather was invited to a great institution for his education. It was an indication that he was doing something right with his life, and has been a worthy human being up to this point.  He expect no less from all of you who will follow in his foot step. J
