-11/01/10: sent in application for Cornell -- fingers crossed
-11/01/10: apps to USC, UCLA, UVA, and Duke are in!
-11/02/10: app sent to Northwestern, didn't know they emphasized so much on work experience which I don't have much, nevertheless I gave it a shot

-11/05/10: sent in my applications for Vandy, Illinois, Notre Dame, and W&M -- Still hoping that NYU and Michigan will send fee waivers (or maybe they're hidden?)
-11/06/10: so I found out that I had hidden waivers for NYU and Michigan, sent both apps in today... I think I'm done with apps for a while...
-11/16/10: just wanted to stop by and say that I really hate the waiting game :(

-12/03/10: IN AT GEORGETOWN via snail mail, really excited to have Dean Cornblatt personally laud me for my personal statement! I am really happy to have a great option waiting for me. G-Town was definitely one of my top choices.
-12/03/10: btw, I just wanted to say that I'm happy to crack the t-14!!!
-12/06/10: just received my W&M package and a $12,000/year scholly (have to maintain a C average)...
-12/10/10: In at Illinois via email with a $90,000 scholarship!!
-12/15/10: Accepted by Vandy via a large and heavy FedEx package!!!
-12/16/10: In at Cornell via email!! Happy that I have an Ivy League option available!!!
-12/17/10: Hours after receiving a teasing "Happy Holidays" email by WUSTL I got accepted via email!!!

-12/31/10: Received a nicely packaged Admitted Students Handbook from Cornell today...

-03/22/11: Withdrew from Michigan...
-03/23/11: Received around $28,000/year of need-based grants from Georgetown -- no word of a merit-scholarship though.
-03/24/11: $35K/year from GULC, this is game-changing.
-03/25/11: Received a measly 15,000/year via snailmail from my alma mater just a day after i got 35,000/year from GULC -- I think I will be withdrawing soon, hope this helps anyone waiting to hear from USC!
-03/28/11: $45,000 from Cornell. Nothing compared to the $105,000 that GULC gave me. I guess it's time to negotiate!
-03/29/11: In at Penn Law via phone call!
-03/29/11: Withdrew from W&M and WUSTL.
-04/02/11: Received giant package from Penn!
-04/07/11: After negotiating with GULC's $105,000 package, Cornell increased their aid from $45,000 to $60,000. This still will probably not be enough to sway me over GULC or Penn. I will most likely withdraw soon.
-04/08/11: Why no Penn finaid yet? I'm getting very anxious especially since Penn is my first choice.
-04/13/11: Got my finaid package from Penn, over $50,000 -- I think this seals the deal for me.
-04/13/11: Withdrew from Notre Dame.
-04/13/11: In at NYU via admitted students' website. Why so late?! I'm already emotionally invested at Penn!
-04/14/11: Bye bye Illinois!
-04/14/11: Waitlist from Columbia -- this was expected.
-04/15/11: Just withdrew from my undergrad alma mater. Good luck to all future fellow Trojans!
-04/15/11: As much as I loved the idea of attending Cornell, $60,000 simply wasn't enough for me considering my other options. This was my hardest withdrawal so far!
-04/18/11: Where is my purple envelope from NYU? I want it!
-04/18/11: Just got my purple envelope -- will be withdrawing soon I think.
-04/18/11: Withdrew from Georgetown -- it was really hard considering how much $$$ they gave me, but I think I'm set for Penn now.
04/18/11: Also, I sent in my seat deposit for Penn.
04/19/11: Bye bye UVA!!!
04/20/11: Received scholarship package from NYU. $15,000 my first year, $13,000 for my second year, and $7,500 for my last year.
04/21/11: Withdrew from Vandy.
04/22/11: Email from Penn that they received my tuition deposit!
04/25/11: In at UCLA! Why so late? I already sent my deposit to Penn!
04/26/11: $60,000 scholly from UCLA via email.
04/28/11: Got package from UCLA.
04/29/11: It was hard but bye bye NYU!!!
05/05/11: Bye bye UCLA!
05/23/11: After weeks of contemplation, I couldn't see myself going to NU over Penn. Bye bye Northwestern!!!
06/07/11: Bye bye Duke!
06/08/11: Withdrew from Columbia.
06/09/11: So I'm finally absolutely sure I'm going to Penn now. So excited!

Hey

Thanks man, although your softs are much more impressive than mine (also my LSAT is a retake)! Good luck on the Cornell EA as well, and looks like you're going at a much faster pace with the apps. I'm still writing my Why Duke, Virginia, and Penn essays so I might not get those in until later this week.

Africa?
Saturday, October 30 2010 at 08:00 PM

Any chance you want to give a little more info on growing up in Africa? I assume you wrote your essays on that topic?

Great job!

Friday, December 24 2010 at 07:00 PM

Sorry about Michigan! I just wish them and Cornell would tell me something.

Monday, October 11 2010 at 08:00 PM

we have similar options. do you know yet what you are thinking of doing?

Monday, October 11 2010 at 08:00 PM

I really liked the Admitted Student day at Cornell and I am expecting to really like UVa when I visit, but, if I had to say, short of new money developments, I am leaning toward the money at Vandy right now.

Friday, December 24 2010 at 07:00 PM

congrats on NYU!!!!!!

Congrats!
Saturday, August 08 2009 at 08:00 PM

NYU vs. UPenn... a toughie! Sounds like you have your heart pretty much set on UPenn though? Congrats... glad to see a cycle go so well for a fellow Trojan ;)

Good Job

Congrats on cash from UCLA. I really wanted them. But you're going to an amazing school! Have fun in the IVY league.
