Extra Curricular Information

Cycle's over! Here's some info in case anyone is in a similar spot next year:

-Wrote and undergrad thesis and got and Honors Degree. Summa Cum Laude.

- Study abroad program in India and summer study program in Washington DC.

- Summer internship in Congress.

- Year long internship for academic credit with a major nonprofit.

- Founded and lead a campus organization.

- Active in several honor societies and campus clubs.

- Three LOR's from professors.

- A small typo in my personal statement made me freak out and think I wasn't going to get in anywhere. But it didn't seem to matter. If this happens to you - don't lose faith!

- Applied really late in the cycle.

ADDITIONAL INFO & UPDATES

A few dates might be off by a day or so because I update way after the fact sometimes.

01-21 - Big package from Duke! First Acceptance! Yay!

01-29 - Call from ...oh gosh did I really forget his name? Oh well, in at Virginia!

02-08 - Status check went to decision at Georgetown

02-10 - Seriously, Georgetown, do you have to send out acceptances in a small envelope? Quit playin games with my heart. Also, whoever wrote that little note at the bottom of my letter has the handwriting of a fifth grader. Get your act together, Georgetown.

02-13 - Email welcoming me to GW. Now I think I know why everyone else sends letters. Email's are anticlimactic. Also today, a strange email from NYU inviting me to apply for housing. I hope this means I'm in?

02-15 - Big purple folder from NYU - YAY!!!!

02-16 - Still haven't recovered from the excitement of my NYU acceptance and I get a call from Penn!! What an awesome way to start the weekend!

02-20 - Woah. GW, why are you complicating my life? Full scholarship offer in the mail today. Dammit, I don't want to go to Washington....

2.22 - Enormous package from Penn. Haven't looked through all of it yet but I'm assuming there are detailed instructions on building a rocket ship in there. Didn't really consider Penn a real option before, but it's starting to look sexier after talking to an alum.

3.19 - Waitlisted at Michigan by email. I wasn't really interested in Michigan, but I'm pissed that they aren't interested in me either.

4.02 - In at Columbia by email!!! YAY COLUMBIA!!!

4.18 - Waitlisted at Harvard annnd I'm officially done! Staying on the waitlist, I think, but I'm going to send in my deposit to CLS. New York here I come!

Looks like we're having almost identical cycles so far. Don't let GW tempt you; I'm doing my best not to. Good luck with CLS! Oh, and if our cycles really are identical, look forward to your HLS deferral, haha.

you are hilarious, so I hope you get into the school of your choice (if you havent already). p.s. the note at the bottom of the georgetown note is from the dean of admissions. he writes one on every acceptance so i like to think his hand is just tired.
