Additional info & updates

11/3/14- got email from Penn State- full scholarship! Not my first consideration school, but definitely a good start to the process!

11/21/14- got decent-sized box via USPS from Penn State. Thought it was a mug or hat. Turned out to be a (very, very delicious) bag of coffee from a Harrisburg coffee shop! Still no scholarship info, perhaps that comes at the open house or later on in the year.

11/26/14-in at University of Minnesota via voicemail from the Dean! Said admission/scholly info should be in within a week.

12/02/14-in at George Washington via email!

12/05/14- Got my admissions packet from Minnesota- $25,000 a year for all three years. Definitely giving very strong consideration to them.

12/08/14-in via phone call from BU. Everything else being equal I would like to someday work and continue to live in Massachusetts, so this is huge! They said admissions packet should be in by Friday.

12/10/14-got my admissions packet for George Washington. Very cool-comes in a hardcover book thing, with a ribbon to pull out your acceptance letter. Fanciest one I have seen yet!

12/11/14- packet from BU came in today. Still very concerned that I haven't gotten an admitted students thing from Penn State yet.

12/13/14- Got acceptance folder from Cardozo. $27,000 a year.

12/15/14- Waitlisted via regular mail at Notre Dame. Filled out form of continuing interest.

12/18/14-in via status checker at Wake Forest. No email or call yet, hopefully that will come today!

12/19/14- I had gotten a few emails from WUSTL, so I decided to apply. Got email today to set up an interview.

12/29/14- Had interview with WUSTL. About 15-20 minutes, very friendly interviewer. Hoping for some good news soon!

1/2/15- Withdrew from Penn State.

1/9/15- Dinged via status check at Penn. Disappointing, but not at all surprising.

1/15/15- waitlisted via email at Georgetown.

1/26/15- Got my Wake Forest admissions packet today. No mention of scholarship money, though the email from them said that should come out by February 5.

2/5/15- $18,000 a year from Wake Forest.

2/7/15- Packet from Emory arrived in the mail. In with $60,000!

2/9/15- Withdrew from Cardozo and Wake Forest. Time to start narrowing down a bit.

2/17/15- Waitlist email from UVA. Honestly, I was expecting to be auto-denied and am thrilled to even be in the running!! I would really, really be happy to go there...

3/9/15- Withdrew from GWU. This one hurt a bit, but hard to justify total cost of attendance without any scholarship money.

3/18/15- Withdrew from a bunch of the schools I haven't heard back from yet/am waitlisted at. At this point it is shaping up to be a race between UMN and Emory, though I will likely ride the waitlists at higher ranked schools for awhile.

Hey, were you given the scholarship via e-mail or via snail mail?

Friday, October 31 2014 at 01:48 PM

Email. Then the next day I received another email with a congratulatory Youtube video. Haven't received anything via snail mail yet, though I would think I should be getting something soon.

Nice Job

Great responses early on. That will make the holidays a lot more enjoyable knowing you have U of M and Penn State options.
