Additional info & updates

WUSTL and W&L scholarships given a week after respective acceptances.
Scholarships are three year totals.
2/25: Placed in Columbia's Reserve group. Rejected from UC Berkeley and Yale. Oh well, they were both long shots anyway, but the letters still hurt :(
2/28: Rejected from Harvard and Georgetown, as expected.
3/11: Waitlisted at IUB and UGA. Will most likely withdraw those two apps.
3/12: Rejected from Cornell. This one really hurt because I was actually holding onto hope for this one. Oh well, at least my choices have now been automatically narrowed :)
4/14: Well, a decision has been made. Just visited the campus about a week ago and was immediately sold to WashU! And the scholarship increase was a plus!! Can't wait to attend in the fall (unless something with Columbia comes up, but I'm not banking on it)
6/16: Received a letter in the mail today from Columbia saying that I have been released from the waitlist.

Well, thankfully this cycle is over. WashU, here I come! :)

Yes, I am. It's my dream school, so it won't hurt to take the plunge :) But I'm being realistic about the whole thing.
