Chicago was my dream school from the beginning--so attending has me very excited. It is easy to say now, but I would have picked Chicago over Harvard anyway. Stanford would have been a more difficult decision (due to the climate, not educational factors). Good luck to everyone else!

How did Cornell tell you when you went complete? I've been waiting on an email or something!

Maybe they don't like LDS?

I got the Stanford slap a few days after you. Same wait from Harvard, too--although I don't hold out much hope there. What's your top choice now?

Chicago
Monday, December 05 2005 at 07:00 PM

I really want a good clerkship (nave, right?) Chicago's probably my top choice, as well. I hope I get in.

Withdrawal?

Congrats to a fellow Utahn on all the great acceptances! Gotta love those options... You might consider withdrawing, though, from all the schools that aren't in your top 3 (according to your preferences) -- just as a courtesy to all those applicants out there (including me) who are hoping for an open slot at some of those places....

Congrats!

Money matters! For this reason, I will not be withdrawing from any more schools until financial aid info is released. Stop complaining.

According to your rankings, BYU is your last place school...you got a ton of money at NW, so even if money is a consideration, NW is cheap for you and it's way higher on your list...just a thought that you might want to w/d from BYU.

So Chicago it is. Nice. AND you got some money along with it. Goodluck
