Good luck on your cycle! Looks like we have pretty similar numbers and applied to many of the same schools around the same time. I hate that now its just a waiting game, though.

ED/EA - I can't tell the difference

I just applied BC early notification, which isn't binding. Anything to hear back from schools sooner.

numbers twin :)

Thanks!

Yeah, I think too many people get starry eyed with a T10. I told myself going into the cycle that I'd only pay sticker price for HYSCCN. I didn't apply to any of those, so I knew I wasn't going to pay sticker lol! Good luck with your CLS wl! If not, have fun in beantown. I love the city of Boston; great town!
