Additional info & updates

LSAT and GPA are approximations. Decision dates are from the actual dates on the letters.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best :)

3/5: Went out of town for a couple days, came back to an acceptance from Santa Clara and fin aid info from Loyola. Will be withdrawing from Santa Clara today since I'd go to Loyola over SC.

3/6: 2 rejections today, GULC and UVA. No big surprise here, weren't schools that I was wishing and hoping for so all is well. :)

3/10: Boalt rejection today. Not surprised at all, wondering what's taking my other auto-reject schools so long!

3/16: Columbia rejection. The letter could not be any shorter

3/20: Ok UT Austin's was shorter.

3/27: On "reserve" at Cornell.

3/31: It's the last day of March. That's all I have to say.

4/1: Of course the day after I write the comment above, I get a rejection from UPenn.

4/3: Michigan WL email. Le sigh.

4/11: Hum de dum dum.

4/20: I got antsy pantsy so I called my pending schools. Apparently NYU sent me a decision in Feb but I never got it. The weird thing is, I had called them a few weeks ago to ask for status and they said no decision yet. So anyway, they're resending it but I already know its a rejection b/c I would've gotten admitted students emails if I was accepted back in Feb. Also found out that I am waitlisted at UCLA as of today.

5/1: It's May 1st. THE FIRST OF MAY. Edit: Got the official UCLA wl letter in the mail, dated 4/28/06. Staying on.

5/23: Accepted off the WL to Summer 2007 at Michigan (notified by phone call). I am psyched beyond belief. All those waitlists and rejections really took their toll on me, so I am just....speechless. SO SO SO HAPPY!!!!

My Chiashu percentages for UMich:
2002: 60.86%
2003: 27.77%
2004: 27.68%
2005: 22.80%

5/25: Received Mich packet in the mail. Official admissions letter + deposit info. Also got blue plastic filing folder and cdrom.

5/29: Visiting Ann Arbor for the first time June 10-11. UMich wants $600 by June 15th. Paid 1st deposit ($200) to Loyola in April, 2nd deposit is due sometime in mid-June. If all goes well during UM visit, will withdraw from Loyola when I get back.

6/5: Was out of town for a few days, came back to a massive packet from UMich with letters, viewbooks, brochures, flyers, etc. All the letters were dated 5/26, and the packet was postmarked 5/30. I'm definitely feelin' the love.

6/6: More stuff from UMich.

6/9: Heading out to Detroit on a redeye tonight.

6/15: Got an email from Northwestern placing me on the shortened summer waitlist.

6/16: Goodbye Loyola and goodbye Southern California.

GOING TO UMICH FOR SUMMER '07

I don't have the letter handy -- my wife called me this morning with the news. I'll try to remember to update you, though, when I have it in my hands.-

Winter is conducive to study, it seems. Spring and fall are beautiful.

Still around here?
