Additional info & updates

6/2 So at this point I'm just waiting on ND. As soon as they say the word I'll be up there without hesitation. Until then, it looks like i'll be at SMU. I've just sent in my first deposit so i'll go ahead and throw that 'A' next to it.

......Come on ND.....

3 Yrs full time work experience while in school
NSF Grant Recipient for Research on Atmospheric Plasmas
Published in JURP (journal for undergraduate research projects)

I had some other soft factor stuff, some economic disadvantages etc..., but thats for my PS, not LSN.

The LSDAS RIPPED my transcript to shreds. I had to withdraw one semester and had 2 bad semesters with alot of F's because of the need to wuthdraw and work full time. I retook all of those classes (my school replaces rather than averages "2nd try" grades). End result - my LSDAS GPA is a FULL POINT lower than my degree-granting GPA.

Scholarships are total amount paid over all six semesters.

1/28 Call from the Dean of Admissions at Arkansas, in with money! Not a bad start!

1/31 Small, cream-colored envelope from st mary's. Accepted.
Also, the arkansas acceptance letter and scholly offer came in today.
UPDATE - scholly letter from st mary's came in 3 days later

2/11 BLACK MONDAY - my first two rejections came in today, gonzaga and UCONN. Not too worried about UCONN because I know that they are pretty GPA centric. Gonzaga stung because i thought i was a shoo-in. I'm hoping this was a Yield protect and not an earlier indicator of what lies ahead.
UPDATE: My first full ride came in today (Ave Maria)! So maybe today wasn't all THAT bad.

2/13 IN A WUSTL!!! Wow, I'm still shaking right now. Just checked my email and almost overlooked the stupid thing. I'll be attending the ASW so I to see some of you other TLS'ers and LSN'ers there too!

2/19 Checked my status checker at UIUC and got dinged. Well you can't win 'em all can ya? This cycle is really starting to get weird. "Song of the Splitter" I guess, but thats what happens when you have my stats as a URM...

2/22 IN AT SMU! 4 words for ya: Song of the Splitter. But seriously though, I'm way stoked, this totally made my week. On a side note, i'll be withdrawing from Ave Maria, Arkansas, and St. Mary's next week, I'm gonna hold on to WUSTL though.

2/25 Just completed a mass withdrawal at: Mich St., L&C, C-K (IIT), Willamette, UALR, UA-F, TWU, St. Mary's, DePaul, and Ave Maria. I hope that opens some scholly money and some seats for other well qualified applicants! Good luck all!

2/26 Provisional List at ND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know its not automatic acceptance, but at least i'm not denied! Ok guys, if you are accepted and not going hurry up and send your withdrawal letters PLEASE!!!!! Also, I was accepted to CLEO today! (What a great day, huh?) Lastly, i was rejected from LSU. Whatev, must be a YP, so I don't mind at all.

2/27 Acceptance letter from L&C just came in, YAY! Too bad I withdrew already, but it still feels good!
Update: Also got a DePaul acceptance today, same story, already withdrew.

3/04 Rejected from penn state? WTF!?

3/10 Ding from Oregon, small white envelope.

3/22 WL came in from Villanova

3/25 Phone call today around noon....IN AT MINNESOTAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

3/26 Nothing like a ding from UT to bring you down to earth huh? OUCH.
And a nice little surprise WL from W&M came in today, so not all is lost.
More stuff today: in at Kent (already withdrawn) and I got rejected at Mich. St. after I had already withdrawn also. WTF?!

4/15 MAss withdrawal today, hope this helps alot of WL'ers out there. Its come down to SMU, Minnesota, or ND if I get of the WL...

5/12 Cycle is over! It was a crazy one. So i'm putting the "A" next to SMU, unless i hear from ND....
