psychedeliclax (2009 – 10)

12/1 - Held for further review at UGA. This was initially upsetting, then I saw a lot of people with similar numbers were rejected. So for now, I'll rejoice that I'm not completely out of the running yet

12/3 - Went into "Administrative Review" at Wake. That seemed a little early considering that they do ED and I didn't apply until 11/23. At least I have another status checker to stalk...Also I went complete at UNC with explicit instructions to never call the admissions office. Let the 6 month waiting game begin!

12/4 - I'M GOING SOMEWHERE!!! First acceptance! In at Baylor with a nice chunk of cash. Yay :)

12/8 - Went into review at Minnesota. I fully expect a ding, but a girl can dream.

12/10 - In at Rutgers. Hollerrrrrrrrrrrrr

12/16 - In at Houston via e-mail! Guess I'm gonna have to schedule a trip to Texas soon!

12/18 - I've decided to take a major gamble and apply to UT. I am well aware of the fact that this is a major shot in the dark, especially since I'm applying so late but I'm on a good Texas streak. *crosses fingers*

1/6 - I got a fee waiver from DePaul so I've decided to go for it. I'm starting to think I just really enjoy being judged by adcomms.

1/12 - In at Albany. I'm eager to see if I get any scholarship information.

1/19 - I got into Seattle on 1/15 but I just noticed it now! Serves me right for abandoning my paranoia and not looking at status checkers for a whole weekend :) This is exciting since I'm actually very interested in the school.

1/20 - Got my scholarship info from Albany. $20,000 a year if I stay in the top half of the class. It's a great deal but still mildly disappointing since it's still very expensive.

1/25 - Good things continue to come!!! In at Temple via status checker! Also got a sweet packet from Seattle with news of the President's scholarship and some actually interesting information about the school!

1/26 - In at Seton Hall with the Chancellor's Scholarship!!! I have some tough decisions that I have to start making soon.

2/4 - Waitlisted at Wake Forest. I'm a little surprised, but I'm welcoming suggestions in terms of what I can do to get off the WL.

2/8 - In at DePaul with a fairly generous scholarship!

3/4 - I visited Seattle over the weekend and I was not too thrilled with the school. I love the city, I think I was hoping they'd provide me a compelling reason to move cross-country and they just didn't. I visited Temple and I loved it, so they are in serious contention at this point.

3/8 - Found out I got rejected from Texas. I'm not surprised and certainly don't fault myself for trying :)

3/10 - WL by email from Georgia. The email was actually very nice and made me feel optimistic that I might get off. We'll see. I just find it hilarious that they held my application for months, only to wait list me.

3/15 - THRILLED that I was able to get a renewable scholarship from Temple. I'm going to go celebrate with a cheesesteak and an "It's Always Sunny" marathon.

4/7 - Waitlisted at UMN. I consider this a good result since I really thought I'd get dinged right away.

4/15 - Put my down my deposit at Temple. It was not the easiest decision to make, but after spending over a month weighting options, it was definitely the best one.

4/19 - Officially a UGA reject. That didn't take long!

4/30 - well the dream is pretty much dead. I finally received my UNC Waitlist, just under the buzzer. At least it's not a rejection. Debating if I will stay on, and for how long...
