I am nervous about how my cycle will turn out, especially considering my numbers and how late I applied in the cycle. But here's to hoping that miracles do exist!

1/30: Notre Dame "Decision Made" via status checker. Anxiously awaiting the decision via snail mail.
2/4: Received WL letter from Notre Dame. I didn't write a "Why Notre Dame" essay so the WL was to be expected. Trying to convince myself this won't be indicative of the rest of my cycle.
2/6: Rejected at Berkeley via email. Bummer. :/
2/12: SMU app sent.
2/13: Accepted at GW via email! Feels great!! Acceptance package to arrive in mail in the next few weeks.
2/13: Vanderbilt app sent. Included a Vandy tailored PS to hopefully make up for not interviewing.
2/15: WL at Georgetown via email. Mehhh.
2/19: GW acceptance package came!! I feel loved again :)
2/21: UR1 at BC
2/25: In at SMU via voicemail! What a quick turnaround! (Status Checker decision date: 2/22)
2/27: UR1 at NYU
2/27: Received SMU acceptance packet with Dean's Scholarship of $27k/yr!! No stips other than good standing.
3/1: UR1 at Duke
3/1: Admitted to Boulder via email!
3/5: Received scholarship offer from Boulder: full tuition first year, and then 12k/yr the next years on top of in state tuition! No stips.
3/6: UR1 at UPenn
3/7: Placed on "reserve" at Columbia. Shocked I wasn't rejected, so I'll take it!
3/11: Rejected at Michigan via status checker followed by snail mail same day. Sad day, but keeping my head up. Note: I didn't write any of the optional essays.. starting to wish I had done more of those!
3/14: Rejected at UVA. Pretty bummed.
3/20: UR2 at BC.
3/22: In at BC via email!
3/25: UCR1 at USC
3/30: UR2 at Duke.
4/1: WL at Duke. Ride til I die.
4/1: UR2 and rejected UPenn. Can't say I didn't see that one coming haha but rejections still sting either way.
4/3: Phone call from Dean Ingram! In at UT!! Stoked.
4/4: Rejection email from Harvard. Was only a matter of time.
4/6: Waitlist email from UCLA.
4/7: UR1 at Chicago.
4/11: Waitlist email from NYU. So many waitlists!! But very grateful not to be rejected.
4/12: And yet another waitlist: USC.
4/23: UR2 at Chicago.
5/02: WL at Vandy. Whatever vandy.
5/07: WL at Chicago. In complete shock haha. Had completely forgotten about their application, so was very surprised to see their email, and even more so to see it was a WL email. Will ride it out.
And with that my cycle is (pretty much) complete!
