I love your EC info statement. I definitely feel the same way...though there is something very satisfying about seeing SOME numbers, even if you know you shouldn't trust them! Good luck this cycle. :)

that is neat.

we both got it today around the same time!!! good luck to you. hope you're my future classmate :)

On NYU!

Congrats, missy!!! Can't say I'm surprised in any way, but that's still spectacular. Think I can sneak in inside your luggage? ;o)

On Harvard!

on Harvard! Just a few more to wait for, no?

On Columbia! :)

for the good wishes!! I actually heard back from CLS today too, although they won't be as generous with their $$$. A full Hamilton, holy cow! That'll be really hard to turn down...

on the Hamilton. Are you tempted by it, or are you leaning towards Harvard? I'm trying to see what others are doing, because I'm so conflicted!

Oh gosh..I've literally changed my mind three times in the last day. Money is a huge factor for me, however, so its really going to come down to the quality of my visits to the schools and Harvard's financial aid package. Let's pray they are generous with their grants :).

Congrats on the Hamilton! That's fantastic! These schools and their penchance for making decisions complicated... Any leanings at this point? It's SO hard, having not visited/seen $$ packages...but it's fun to make in-my-mind spreadsheets of pros and cons. (Dorky, I know!)

Yeah, I know what you mean about lots of varying factors pulling in every which way...my particular "area of law" interest/possible concurrent degree screams "Go to Boston!" but it's sort of unclear whether that's the best option. So many choices! (I feel like the economists who talk about paralysis of choice...)

Got the weird Yale e-mail.... I wish I felt as optimistic as you... but still, I think the worst part is going to be waiting.

On Yale!

I'm in the same boat with H/Y/C w/ Hamilton. I'd be curious to hear what you're thinking...

Well deserved - I think we need to stage a science/engineering takeover of Yale :)

So, I got the same deferrel e-mail as you did, and then I had the forsight to lose my cell phone. Since I have no possible way of knowing if I get called, did you get an e-mail along with the phone call or just the phone call? I'm wondering since I otherwise need to get in contact with Yale to arrange another way of finding out. Since that seems extremely presumptious I'd rather not... Thank you

Elements of all three are tempting. I'm probably leaning slightly Yale right now, but the rush still hasn't quite worn off. I think visits will be the deciding factor.
