I appreciate it I definitely added you my watch list forever ago because of how close our numbers are. I have a lot of reach schools so we will see how it goes. Good luck!!!

Wednesday, March 11 2015 at 05:20 PM

We have similar numbers, as well! Good luck!

Thank

r2010 Thanks a lot I appreciate that, Congrats on Michigan and Berkeley. Hoping I can have a good outcome with Michigan. Good luck on the rest of your cycle.

Im asssuming you'll be staying on the Penn and Northwestern waitlist?

Update
Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

acinderellastory: I'm on hold at Northwestern and they said they would start letting Held people know actual decisions in early April and I told them April 15th was the latest I would wait for them so hopefully I don't have to ride out the Penn waitlist. But the plan for now is definitely to ride out both of those situations.

update
Friday, April 04 2014 at 02:35 PM

Still nothing from Cornell =( Where are you thinking of going for now?

Update
Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

@acinderellastory The plan for now is to wait as long as I can on Northwestern before I lose scholarships at BU and Wash U. I really want a t-14. If I get rejected at Northwestern and Cornell, I'll wait on Penn but even if I get it the plan is to hold out, retake in October and reapply as early as I can this fall for next year. Not ideal but oh well. In a perfect world, Northwestern would just come through since it's been my first choice from the start.

Not Penn then?
Friday, April 04 2014 at 02:35 PM

So you would not go to Penn even if you got in?

Not Penn then?
Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

If I get in I am 85% certain I would go, it would just be hard to accept the whole paying sticker price thing @acinderellastory

Saturday, November 29 2014 at 03:58 PM

Just read through some of your comments and we have a pretty similar plan, I am still waiting to hear back from Cornell, Duke, and Columbia. Hopefully in at one of these *knock on wood* and I will make a seat deposit and wait out Harvard and Penn. Back up plan is to study for October @townsek

Thanks!
Saturday, January 03 2015 at 09:51 AM

My top choice at this moment is Cornell, unless I miraculously get into NYU or UVA with $$$. I'm 90% sure I will go at this point. The fact that I only have 2 options available right now is making this easier for me haha.

Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

@savyandslender I am sure you will get into one of those at the very least. Sending good vibes your way! Definitely considering taking October and waiting a year but we will see what happens @EOLB13 that's true, you've already got it narrowed down so that helps! Congrats on Cornell, great choice!

HELP
Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

Anyone who sees this and is wait-listed or admitted at Penn and not going, please withdraw. I'm depending on folks like y'all lol. But seriously, withdraw if you're going somewhere else please. Thanks

Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

Still need folks to keep withdrawing from Penn...share that with your friends. I appreciate it in advance :)

Saturday, December 27 2014 at 08:15 PM

Hey did you get any aid from WashU?

Saturday, October 18 2014 at 04:03 PM

LOL nope! Not at all @haleyhasenstein
