PreOrientation

You may or may not know that this autumn I'm off to attend the University of Massachusetts: Amherst. When people asked me where I would be attending school in the fall, I always said it like this:
"Amherst... (pause, wait for them to look at me skeptically, or say that's amazing, then say) UMass Amherst!"
Now while it may not be one of the best schools in the world, it is somewhat respectable; ranked 104th in the entire nation. That's not too shabby. Of course I haven't got a clue of what I want to study while I'm there, nor do I have any intention of picking very early on. Now in effort to relate this article back to more Admerasia-esque topics, here's a little statistic. Over 50% of Asian Americans have a bachelor degree or higher a higher level of education, while the national rate is around 27%.

Anyways, July 1-3 I'll be up in Amherst, Massachusetts for the preorientation. Signing up for new courses, learning what campus life will be like, and taking placement tests. I've already taken their math test, which I did horrificly on, despite me being Asian... Haha, a little racist joke. Hey, I can say it, I'm asian. Okay so let's back up to the horrific score on that test. When I say that, I actually mean abysmal, unlike those obnoxious smart kids who this a B- is going to ruin their reputation. No, I got 7 questions correct out of 40... Now if we do the math here, I've earned less that 25% on the examination. Why wasn't that question on the test!?
