I just got an email from Stanford telling me that I wasn’t moved to the semifinal round for the General Motors felowship in their Partnership for Diversity (P4D) Fellowship program. This diss along with the earlier diss from Goldman Sachs means that my fellowship search crapped out. Ford is another one of the sponsors of the program that offers a summer internship guarantee in exchange for full-tuition sponsorship, but they were looking for a candidate with a hardcore engineering background and I don’t think that my software engineering background was hardcore enough. Basically, i’m looking at a big ol’ loan for my first year now, but I’m sure that it’ll be worth it when it’s all said and done. Damn, this sucks! I’m really kicking myself right now for passing up on those full-rides from the other schools that admitted me, but I’m sure that these feelings will go away once I get out to Cali and start doing my thing.
