When you get into Berkeley, they send you a certificate of achievement, suitable for framing. It says:
Funny, when they rejected me last month, they didn't send me a letter that read:
I like the idea of just collecting acceptance letters from prestigious schools and putting up a Wall of Possibilities in the office. Something that says, "Hey, I may be a dropout and something of an underachiever, but I do well on standardized tests."
This is what you've been waiting for, the good news. You've been admitted to Berkeley. The sound you hear is the world opening up at your feet. It's the sound of ideas popping. Of every language, every point of view. Of conga drums, carillons, and a thousand things you've never known before. There is truly no place like Berkeley. Anywhere. And you've earned a place here. We think you can take this excitement and make it your own. Take the world's ideas and forge new ones. Learn. Imagine. Experiment. Create. Change the world.

Hey, you hear that? Over the wall there? It sounds pretty good, doesn't it? You wouldn't understand it, though. It's complicated. Have a good time at Chico State.
