anniesaysrelax (2022-2023)

RA for 3 years, president of several orgs, started an org, varied volunteer work, a couple interesting internships, but nothing groundbreaking.

**Scholarships are three year totals

12/02 - In at William and Mary via status checker! First acceptance under my belt!

12/02 - Just found out I was accepted to UK today as well, via email!

12/04 - Got the acceptance/scholarship packet from W&M today! Graduate fellowship that knocks tuition to in-state level with a $4000/yr stipend plus another $5000 a year.

12/10 - In at BU via phone call!!

12/10 - Got the UK letter in the mail, note from the dean saying she'd contact me about setting up an interview for the Combs Scholarship.

12/11 - Received the Rothman Scholars invitation to apply from USC. An acceptance would have been nice, but I guess this bodes well for that.

12/17 - In at Tulane today via e-mail!

01/06 - In at WashU today via e-mail, glad to have some progress after a bit of a lull over the holidays. Hoping for more good news soon!

1/07 - Finally back to campus and had packets from Tulane and BU with scholarship offers and packets from UL and Emory that I wasn't expecting! Decision dates for UL and Emory are the days that the letters are dated.

1/11 - Decision Finalized at USC, hoping to hear soon!

1/12 - Dinged at UCLA. Was expecting at least a WL, but such is life. Sad, but USC has always been my first choice in LA. Hopefully I'll get some good news from them soon and then the choice will be a lot easier to make.

1/12 - Decision Rendered at BC today, hope to be back with good news to cancel out the UCLA ding.

1/14 - ACCEPTED AT USC TODAY!! Here's to hoping I can actually afford to go!

1/16 - WL at BC today. Kind of confused, but not really upset. BU is my top choice in Boston, and I'll be withdrawing from BC. I won't be riding any waitlists. Really, nothing can upset me now that I'm in at USC.

2/01 - Scholarship info from UK. 10K for 1L, 6K each for 2&3L. Possibility of more money if I do well, but must be above median to keep the money. Since I'm already in-state it makes tuition pretty easy to stomach.

2/23 - Call from my mom letting me know that scholarship info from Emory arrived at my house today. 72K over 3 years. Definitely a viable option.

2/25 - Scholarship info from WashU via email, 24K/yr guaranteed for all three years. Exact same offer as Emory and not helping the decision making process. Maybe I'll hit a hat trick and get 24K/yr from USC as well, or at least I can dream.

3/09 - WL at Vandy. Totally expected and glad it wasn't a ding after waiting this long. Pretty sure I'll withdraw.

3/19 - Accepted at UT! Boom! Cycle's over, now to make some tough decisions.

3/22 - USC scholarship info came today. 20K/yr. Does not help make this decision any easier. Crap.

3/27 - Went on a withdraw spree today. Withdrew from everywhere but Emory and USC. Hopefully I'll be able to make a decision between the two soon.

3/30 - Dropped off my deposit at Emory today after my visit yesterday.
