Our numbers are very similar, and we are applying to many of the same schools. Best of luck, and keep me posted.

Your affinity for cranberries will not distinguish you. You are up against eaters of kumquats and currants. I hope your personal statement is strong.

  • Monday, November 06 2006 at 08:02 AM

our numbers are similar but I'm worried about georgetown because of my poor PS...how was yours? what was it (vaguely) concerned with? any indication would ease my anxiety

Numbers like your should relieve any anxiety. Barring an application disaster of epic proportions, G is on lockdown for you. My statement discussed something both obscure and personal, undiscussed elsewhere in my app. A reader described it as "textbook perfect example", another called it "edgy and hip". I am tentatively confident about it.

- crystaldiamonds
  • Okay, but...

How were you deferred at Harvard? They don't have any early stuff. Do you mean waitlisted?

- confused
  • to elucidate
  • Tuesday, January 09 2007 at 08:21 AM

Hold email received there's no status option for "Held", hence "Deferred"

sorry to hear that. W/your numbers you def deserve to get in. good luck

I got the Harvard call today too, good to see all us Mormons are taking over Harvard. Are you going to the March ASW?

- safado

Safado, I will be in attendance in March. Plans to blow up the spot.

Good to see an LDS woman rocking the Harvard world. See you at the ASW.

Congrats on Harvard! (Very funny about CLS though, guess it doesn't matter anymore...) Also, how and when did you learn about UVa and Penn scholarship $$?

- Saja
  • vagaries of fate
  • Monday, March 05 2007 at 12:39 PM

Saja, Many thanks for your generous words. Fortune should smile on you too! I was very lucky to watch Columbia's decision quickly go from being unfortunate to being completely irrelevant. UVA acceptance and s-ship were in one phone call. The acceptance letter came later; nothing more re: the s-ship. Penn s-ship nomination and award came by email.

- crystaldiamonds
  • You keep changing stats

  • penn scholarship?
  • Sunday, March 11 2007 at 07:20 AM

Hey! Did you get the James Wilson scholarship at Penn?

- brokenroad
  • Believe the Hype
  • Sunday, March 11 2007 at 11:38 AM

The numbers above are for real. The incentives (real or anxiously assumed) to slightly altering one's LSN numbers are legion and I concede that I fell under that spell. Now with HLS admit in hand, the need for facade/misdirection is gone and hence, above are my for real numbers. Regards.

- crystaldiamonds
  • Penn
  • Sunday, March 11 2007 at 11:40 AM

Mr. Wilson's coin is padding my palm. Submission deadline is the 12th of March, so the early reply was pleasantly unexpected.

- crystaldiamonds
  • Penn again
  • Sunday, March 11 2007 at 07:30 PM

Wow, that's great! Which essay did you write on? Also, how long after you submitted it did you hear? I submitted mine today (my deadline is 3/19), so I'm hoping for the best, and a quick response would certainly be nice.

- brokenroad
  • Wilson
  • Monday, April 02 2007 at 03:36 PM

asante sana brokenroad! I wrote on topic one-specifically, my interests abroad and some semblance of a cross-disciplinary approach might be quasi-beneficial. Response was via mail within a week of submission.

  • Stanford
  • Wednesday, April 18 2007 at 04:26 PM

Congrats on SLS. Did they give you a phone call too or just the email? As you see, I have similar numbers, so you just raised my hopes of getting admitted this late.

- andyh
  • SLS
  • Thursday, April 19 2007 at 09:24 AM

FD contacted me via email; in said form of communication she said her had tried to call me without success. It is eminently possible a spot at SLS will open for you...

- crystaldiamonds
  • Harvard
  • Friday, December 14 2007 at 07:59 AM

Hi there - was hoping you could give me some info about Harvard - were you waitlisted before you got called and interviewed...or did you just go from November to February without hearing anything? Thanks much!
