4/16: Harvard rejection - cycle is over!

4/13: Waiting on just Harvard now, but I'm guessing a rejection (or a no-hope waitlist at best). Looks like it's going to be Columbia.

2/6: Waitlisted at Penn today. Went under review on 1/23. I'm kinda sad because Penn was a top choice for me (and I was hoping they would offer me good money). Sigh. Oh well, makes my ultimate choice easier, I suppose. FYI: I did write the "Why Penn."

1/30: In at Chicago via phone call! Went to "Decision Pending" yesterday.

1/24: In at Columbia!!!

12/24: NYU! I was told it arrived yesterday, but I made the trip to my mailing address to open the envelope and see for my own eyes.

12/1: First decision! Duke!

11/30: All applications finally out. Decided not to apply to Stanford/Yale unless I do miraculously well this semester (talking A-pluses). Otherwise, I have no real soft factors that would get me in with a lackluster GPA, so I'd rather save the money. The wait begins!

11/19: Before I applied, I had attempted to solicit merit-based fee waivers from NYU, Penn, and Chicago. They all directed me to their need-based waiver form. In other news, I'm surprised I went complete so quickly at NYU given their notoriety for slowness.

11/16: Have sent out 5 out of 9 applications. Taking my sweet time on the Why Mich and Why Penn essays because I don't want to risk being shut out on account of yield protection, and I do really love both schools. Not sure if I'll end up applying to Stanford or Yale as the chances I'll get into either seem too slim.
