Additional info & updates

5/16 -- Waitlisted at NU. I'll ride it out, but it looks like my cycle is officially over.

4/3 -- C-K upped their offer to $90k.

3/11 -- Got scholarship info from Loyola, $30k/yr with a "good academic standing" stipulation. Let the negotiations begin!

3/8 -- Got scholarship info from WUSTL.

2/15 -- Out at Berkeley. I was holding out hope. Waitlist at Chicago, I'm very surprised. It'll be a long summer...

2/14 -- In at Emory!

2/13 -- Got an additional $5k from C-K without negotiating yet.

2/8 -- Dinged at Cornell. I was holding out hope, but I suspect my C&F might've played a role here.

2/7 -- Dinged at Harvard. Let the T14 bloodbath begin.

1/24 -- Busy day. In at WUStL. Alumni interview with GW. And Berkeley said I got past administrative review and my app is on to round two.

1/17 -- Accepted at Chicago-Kent with a decent scholarship.

1/2/13 -- GWU offered/requested an alumni interview "based on the strength of my application." I'm guessing its related to my C&F and probably yield protection, since I didn't do any supplemental essays.

12/28 -- Got the scholarship pack from DePaul. 30k/yr, no stips. Very nice. Hopefully the other Chicago schools will have made similar adjustments to their scholarships.

12/22 -- Held at Northwestern, which means I've been moved from ED to RD.

12/21 -- In at DePaul & Loyola. Kent sent an email saying they would like to wait for my C&F issue to be resolved, which fortunately it just was. I've sent an updated addendum to all my schools.

11/29 -- Priority Reserve list at Duke, seems like a slightly more hopeful version of a waitlist. I'll submit a WhyDuke essay and updated C&F records in a couple of weeks.

11/28 -- Duke went under review Monday so I'm hoping for a decision by the end of the week. DePaul has started sending out acceptances but I haven't gotten one, so I'm worred that the C&F will finally ding me somewhere. On that anxiety I threw an app into WUSTL... I'm probably done for this cycle.

I'm surprised about your cycle.....what do you think may have gotten you the dings?

I feel like the only bad surprise was Cornell, which I attribute to C&F and not tailoring my application towards them.
