Withdrew from UMN. Admission to Vandy trumps UMN and I'm upset my Alma Mater WL'd me #SHADE

May 1st deposit at Vanderbilt. Hard paying $750 when I'm still waiting on NY but its all good. Great school, def worth it!

6/18/13
LOCI to Columbia and NYU

7/10/13
2nd reserve letter from Columbia.

7/11/13
No NYU updates so I contacted the admissions office. No news there as expected. Come on NYC!!!

Confirmed intent to enroll at Vandy getting all my stuff in for orientation. People keep asking where I'm going, still can't fully commit

The silence is deafening but leaving it all in the hands of God. I really like Vandy but Columbia being my #1 choice can't fully commit quite yet.
