dear mit,
once my hubby becomes a doctor,
when it is his turn to support my dream to the fullest,
when we can pay out of pocket your tuition regardless of scholarship,
i will come at you so hard + w/mucho love + respect to your m.arch 2,
that you won't have any choice but to accept me.
so please save a spot for me,
i will be there in the coming years ahead.

-your future pupil

congrats to all acceptances last week and today!! we have a very good vibe going, and hopefully the luck of the irish will help this week too! ;-)

any new updates on ut austin for those who hadn't heard?? im wondering how accurate jane was in her "monday" prediction since she seemed to respond "two weeks" to anyone who asked before, regardless of when... i just want to move on with my life!

also waiting for my uva envelope to arrive... trying not to give up hope!

lost in stress

never nude, like someone said before, it really all depends on the the school. One might think you are awesome and are worthy of acceptance with money and another will flat out reject you. Maybe UVA looked at yours right before lunch and they thought "hell we need to eat and we've already accepted too many this morning." Who knows, but you got in at GSD! Congrats!

"We regret to inform you that we are unable to grant you admission at this time. However, the Committee has recommended that you be placed on a waiting list for possible future acceptance...If you would like to remain on the reserve list, please just respond to this email."

Oh god oh god!

I was spying on the mailman out my window with a wide angle lens held up to my eye. He had numerous packages of GSD acceptance-size...

When he was done at my apartment, I ran downstairs, and found an acceptance to GSD!

I'm in at Harvard with a half ride in grants and workstudy!!!

YAY!
