Wednesday, December 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

hi again! Yes I spend my days on the UCI forum and waiting by the phone for a call from them >_< Your numbers are amazing and I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered if you submitted them even later :) I'm sure you'll get awesome acceptances and $$ also! Best of luck!

Friday, October 16 2009 at 08:00 PM

I'm hoping UCLA grads continue to have a great cycle. Do you want to stay in So. Cal?

Wednesday, December 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

No, not quite yet :( But as long as I get in, I don't care when they say they want me. I'm there ;) Thanks for the encouragement! and CONGRATS!!! You've gotten some awesome news recently! Those UVA and UCLA ($$$$!!) acceptances look real nice ;D

Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

congrats on mich, and good luck in faculty review (i'm also scared)

Congrats
Thursday, June 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Our cycles seem fairly similar for the schools we both applied to. Probably not at all b/c our numbers are so close:). Where are you leaning?

Michigan ASW
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

Should we wear UCLA shirts?

Wow!
Wednesday, December 02 2009 at 07:00 PM

I checked back to your profile to see how you're doing and wow :) You still have some big places to hear back from! Where are you strongly considering for now?

Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

That's incredible. Congrats. And yes, I'll be at the second UMich weekend, though I'm sure UVA's award is going to really impact your decision. (Also, faculty review sucks.)

UVA scholarship!
Sunday, December 06 2009 at 07:00 PM

WOW-congratulations!!! i hope i get something, too!

Tuesday, October 13 2009 at 08:00 PM

Congrates on the UVA scholarship!

UMich
Tuesday, December 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

Did they increase your scholarship on their own or did you ask for it?

Wow, congrats on the Mich bump!
Thursday, June 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

Clearly you made a good impression at the ASD! Was your increase unsolicited?

RE: UMich
Tuesday, December 29 2009 at 07:00 PM

Thanks for the response and congrats again. You've got some awesome choices.

UVA ASD
Sunday, December 06 2009 at 07:00 PM

total guess here, but were you in the front row at the 2nd clinics session at UVA on friday? and asking a bunch of questions? would be very creepy of me if i'm right, haha. either way, what did you think of ASD? i loved it, but withdrew because i need to stay in NYC :(

i am officially a stalker!
Sunday, December 06 2009 at 07:00 PM

hahahaha i can't believe it was you!! no, you didn't seem too "gunnerish"...just enthusiastic! i was on the same side of the room as you, i think 2 rows behind. i do have blonde hair, and it was in a ponytail. i liked that session, too. i have to stay in nyc because my husband just got an i-banking job here and we don't want to separate :( we've only been married for 8 months so it'd be rough! i would have loved to have been able to move to cali, btw. C'ville is so gorgeous though! so you'll be well-off either way. good luck deciding!!! nice "meeting" you, ha.

where's it going to be?
Monday, January 25 2010 at 07:00 PM

any decision? i've decided on michigan but i'm going to stay on the harvard WL.

So is it Michigan?
Thursday, June 25 2009 at 08:00 PM

I'm also riding out the SLS waitlist, but barring a miracle, I'll be in Austin next year:). What about you?
