Good luck with the remainder of your cycle. Are you leaning towards a particular school??

Unfortunately not; but, W&L tops my acceptances so.

We have very similar backgrounds/schools that we've applied to. You give me hope!

I'm leaning toward W&L, and I made a deposit there; but, if GW or Fordham calls then I will attend one of those two
