king3780 (2022-2023)

Worked as writer/editor in newspapers for five years. Also worked in real estate for three years.

Div. 1 athlete during first couple years of undergrad. Now a non-traditional student at my second UG, with a wife and four kids.

02-02-09 Rejection from UConn dated 1-29, small white envelope

02-04-09 Accepted at Quinnipiac via e-mail... now I'm eagerly waiting for any scholarship offer. Interestingly, I never received notice that I was even complete.

02-06-09 Got official letter from Quinnipiac, with $10,000/yr renewable scholarship offer

02-13-09 Waitlisted at Maryland. I can't imagine I'm very high on the waitlist with a late app and the letter says they'll start reviewing WL in May, so I'll likely withdraw. I'll have to think on it for a couple days first.

02-17-09 In at McGeorge via snail mail. $5k/yr plus books as 1L for some sort of "honors" program.

02-18-09 Accepted at Hofstra via snail mail with $10k renewable scholarship

02-19-09 In at Seton Hall. No money, which doesn't surprise me b/c they don't seem big on schollies.

02-24-09 In at Rutgers-Newark via e-mail. I'll very likely withdraw everywhere else I've been accepted in the next few days. R-N is the front runner right now and can only be passed by Temple and Fordham.

03-01-09 Got my rejection from Temple yesterday, so barring a miracle acceptance from Fordham, Rutgers-Newark is the choice. Since Fordham looks to be another six weeks from making a decision and my chances are probably less than 1%, I'm sending in my seat deposit to R-N and withdrawing everywhere but Fordham.
