02/19/08 Georgetown has gone to Decision ... I feel like I could get a waitlist but I will keep my fingers crossed

2/20/08 Waitlisted at Fordham and really upset about it. I do not think that I am in the YP range, I really thought I would get in there.

2/23/08: Preferred Waitlist from Georgetown, not surprising at all. I really wish I had gotten into Fordham, still sad about that one.

2/25/08: Withdrew from Baylor, also got an interesting phone call from Fordham saying that a mistake had been made and that my application was going back to the commitee and I should have a decision soon. Seems like good news.
