12/03/09- Accepted via phone call at University of Tennessee. Excited about my first acceptance! Also only applied there the day before Thanksgiving...quick turnaround.

12/23/09- Accepted to Mercer and Samford in the last couple of days, nice to have three options so close and also before Christmas. All little letters, clearly waiting for scholarship information.

12/30/09- Offered a full tuition scholarship at Mercer for all three years (with good academic standing). Definitely exciting!

1/13/10- Got in to Louisville and offered $6,000 a year and also got an acceptance call from George Mason on Monday! :D

1/14/10- rejected at Tulane yesterday. Bummer.

1/27/10- So, funny story, was checking my junk email today, because all email sent from our schools address is automatically sent to the junk folder lately (ironic, and funny considering the slew of daily email) but not funny because in it was a UVA rejection email. Not surprising, but a bit disappointing. Leaning toward Mercer right now.

2/2/10- Accepted at the University of South Carolina yesterday and Case Western Reserve today. :D A great week, waiting to hear about scholarships from both.

2/19/10- WL at W&L, exciting!

3/10/10- WL at Vandy and UGA. Only waiting to hear from Emory and Baylor. Ughhhhh. Waitlisted is better than rejected, but it's not helpful for April 15th seat deposit deadlines. Any advice?
