Grad school
I have started to prepare for Grad School.

Actually, I was thinking about grad school ever since about three months ago. It happened when I was practicing for my very last SAT ever(!!) and I was at the bookstore. All the school books are in the same area, and I happened to pick up some grad school entrance exam type of practice books.

And not to be arrogant or anything, but some of the questions on the GRE are REALLY easy. o_o; It's probably just one of the easier math questions they give at the beginning of the section and the rest are really hard, but it seemed like just a really expensive version of the SAT lol. And to be honest, the SAT isn't that bad as long as you practice a lot. I'm gonna be taking the GMAT, so I guess I have to look at that too. Who knows - it could be completely different.

But...

WTH BUSINESS SCHOOL ESSAYS SEEM SO HARD! D': While the GRE didn't seem too bad - I *hope* - the essay part seems horrible! Reading some of the sample essays was so intimidating~ These people sound like they're pro at it or something~

I do realize I'm not yet out of high school and probably should be thinking about enjoying the rest of my senior year, but you can never start too early right? Undergraduate school is to prepare you for graduate school, in my opinion. Sure, people go on fine with just a BA or BS, but I want a masters! Statistically, you're more successful that way haha.

My plan in semi-chronological order:

-Go to UCI for undergrad work as a business econ major with a Chinese or Japanese double major, taking a bunch of 100 level language courses so I can be better qualified as an applicant

-Finish undergrad work with as high grades as possible, then get a job for a year or two

-Go to graduate school [UPenn FTW!!], get my MBA with an emphasis in international business

-Get an average-paying job

-Go up in ranking at aforementioned job and get sent on business trips, traveling the world for free! :D




PS my livejournal looks like this everytime I post. Sorry guys, I talk about school way too much. T___T *nolife!*
