booby87 (2009 – 2010)

10/20- First apps in.

10/21- Accepted at UVA via phone call with full Dean's Scholarship!! Wow that was fast! I was completely caught off guard...

10/28- Complete at a few more schools and under review at Harvard...dun dun dunnn

10/29- Tomorrow is day 9 after going complete Priority Track at Duke. Hoping for some (good) news soon.

10/31- In at Duke via email! Happy Halloween!

11/2- Under review at Berkeley.

11/4- Complete email from Chicago. My status checker told me this last week so nothing too exciting.

11/5- Complete email from Harvard but no JR1. Harvard, I would really, really like a JR1... pretty please?

In at Texas!!! Notified via phone call but apparently they mailed a packet a few days ago. Excited to go home and check :)

I changed my Texas date to 11/3 because that is the date the status checker says admission was granted.

11/6- Got my Duke package.

11/10- This week has been pretty quiet so far. Under review at Penn, nothing from anywhere else.

edit- complete email from Columbia. Still hoping this week spices up a little bit.

11/11- Changed to under review at Georgetown today, but the date says 11/6...odd

11/12- Complete email and acceptance phone call from UCLA... both within 60 seconds! haha amazing :)

11/14- Just got my financial aid letter from Texas...WOW! wow wow wow...UT is looking mighty fine now.

11/15- Changed to decision yesterday and Michigan! According to the admitted students' page, a package was mailed on the 12th, so I put that as the decision date. wooooooooo! What a great weekend :)

11/17- Got my package from Michigan!

Ok so I just watched the video-LOVED it! It made this whole process a lot more tangible. Also, the little portfolio they send so you can keep track of "future correspondence" is amazing. I'm very pleased.

11/20- JR1 email (HLS interview). So ridiculously excited! Scheduled for 11/30

11/24- Decision rendered at Gtown...now I just have to wait for the letter so I know what that decision is.

11/29- Came home from Thanksgiving and my acceptance letter from Georgetown was waiting for me! They send such a cute little envelope.

11/30- Had my JR1 today. Wow I was nervous... and now I wait...

12/2- Oh boy I would love to get in to Boalt. Congrats to the first few admits :)

12/7- JR2 (in at Harvard) :) :) sssssooooooooooooo happpppyyyyyyyyyyyy

also-purple acceptance envelope from NYU today!...best day ever?

12/14- Darrow invite from Michigan!

Also accepted at UPenn via phone call

12/16- In at Berkeley via email!

12/21- UR at Chicago

1/4- post break update: I came home to acceptance packages from Penn and Berkeley. Also a magazine from NYU.
I decided to apply for the Darrow, so I sent my essay in over the break.

...and I applied to Yale! :)

1/8- offered full Darrow via phone call with Dean Z!!! Great day! Time to book some plane tickets...

1/14- in at Chicago via phone call! also, Levy Scholars email invite from U Penn

IN AT STANFORD!!! :)

withdrew from UCLA and Georgetown

1/15- withdrew from Northwestern, Chicago, Texas and Duke today. The email to Texas was hard, but I would take the Darrow at Michigan before the scholly/stipend from UT.

1/17- updated my preferences. Scholarship money at NYU/Columbia (if they accept me of course) would be game changing...

1/19- complete at Yale. The email says most decisions come in Feb/March/April....the wait begins.

1/20- scholarship letter from Michigan and acceptance package from Stanford. I'm loving everything about Michigan and feel more tempted to take the Darrow every day. We'll see how ASW goes. Also loved the Stanford packet with the famed T-shirt. I'm so happy with my cycle so far :)

1/25- in at Columbia today via snail mail!

...and then there was one....

2/9-
Dear Yale,

I would give it all up for you.

Love,

boobs

2/12- email from NYU about being considered for Dean's Schoalarship.

2/20- withdrew from Columbia and Berkeley. Sorry Columbia, not attending without merit aid (hint hint NYU and UPenn...).

3/4- Levyyyyy todayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! :) (big scholarship from Penn)

3/9- Dean's scholarship at NYU. It isn't enough to lure me away from Harvard so I will be withdrawing soon.

Speaking of Harvard, I attended ASW this past weekend and I LOVED it!! They did a fantastic job and if admitted to Yale, I can still see myself choosing Harvard (but it would a be a very tough decision...). Updating preferences to put Harvard and Yale tied for first.

Can't wait for Michigan and Stanford's ASWs :)
