Scholarships are per year.

12/18/09 - In at Seattle via status checker. So excited to have my first acceptance.

12/17/09 - My Maryland status checker says "decision made." Now I have to wait to get the decision in the mail. I've heard they won't give it over the phone, etc.

12/21/09 - In at Maryland! The "congratulations" on the thin envelope spoiled the surprise a bit but didn't stop me from ferociously wripping open the envelope in excitement.

12/24/09 - Got the two large packets from Maryland and Seattle today. Seattle's had a notification that I had been awarded a scholarship. I'm surprised I've already heard from two this early.

12/29/09 - My University of Washington status check says "in review." Made me so nervous I lost my appetite!

01/05/10 - Received a call from the Dean of Admission at Cardozo letting me know I have been admitted. It felt really good hearing a real, friendly voice telling me I'd been accepted.

01/07/10 - Received my packet from Cardozo. Very pretty picture of New York on the cover. They definitely know how to market!

1/12/10 - Not exactly sure of the date. Plus or minus a day. My Boston College status checker says "decision rendered." Above it, it said something along the lines of "decision has been sent."

1/18/10 - When I got back from a long weekend my Dad had a letter for me from BC. It was small so I thought I'd been rejected but it was a waitlist, I'm happy it's not totally out!

1/18/10 - I received an email today from U of A's admissions office asking for an excerpt on why I was applying there specifically. Out of town right now but I'm going to send it ASAP when I get back.

1/20/10 - Was admitted to Arizona via status checker! I'm really happy about this one because Arizona is Pac-10 and my interactions with the admissions office have been so positive and friendly.

1/25/10 - My Santa Clara status checker finally went to "decision sent!" Now I just have to wait for the decision!

1/28/10 - Got a packet in the mail informing me of my acceptance to Santa Clara, along with information about a scholarship I was awarded. I also got my acceptance packet from Arizona along with information about a scholarship essentially giving me in-state tuition!

02/11/10 - Rejected from Fordham via status checker. Shook me up a bit a bit because it's my first rejection and a school that I thought was in my range. . .

02/25/10 - ACCEPTED AT UW via small envelope!!!!!!!!!! Could not be more excited/thrilled/honored/happy. This is the school I've really been hoping for a number of reasons.

2/26/10 - Rejected from Columbia via snail mail. Not at all surprising and not as painful now that I've gotten into UW.

3/3/10 - Waitlisted today at BU via snail mail. I'm actually happy and excited about this because BU is so highly ranked. I thought it was more of a reach school.

3/19/10 - Another waitlist, this time from William & Mary, via email.

3/26/10 - Rejected from USC via small snail mail. Not too surprised. I had been having second thoughts about this school anyway.
