Interviews coming in

This week as been a relief. I have been completed at most schools for just over 2 weeks and I have landed 2 interviews so far. The interview invites were at two places that I was not expecting to ever have a significant chance of being accepted. The first invite came from Case Western, a school with an average score a little above my own, a top 25 rank according to US news, and a dream come true if I would ever be accepted. The second one is UVM ( Universitas Verdis Montis) better known as University of Vermont. Even though my stats are somewhat a little better than Vermont's average the school has a increased tendency to give an advantage to in-staters. Being from NY state my chances of ever being accepted to Vermont are slim to none, at least so I thought. Due to my slim chances of ever being accepted to Vermont you would wonder why did I ever apply there in the first place. Well, my reason for applying to Vermont is simple. Burlington is just drop down gorgeous of a place to live in. It is definitely my kind of town, a town that would provide me and my future family a support system much needed to help me get through the hard times to come. I am excited about both interviews although a little worried about asking for more time off from work, especially since I am driving to both interviews instead of flying. The reason for that is a totally different story that I might address in the near future.
