-Harvard -- Received acceptance by phone. I missed the call, but Dean Stock left a message.
-UVA -- Phone call from Dean Trujillo.
-NYU -- Acceptance came in large manila envelope.
-Penn -- Deferred in letter dated 12/19. I didn't write a Why Penn essay. Really weird to get this deferral, though.
-Columbia -- Put on hold in letter. Surprising and strange (did I commit a murder that I don't know about?), but I'm not too upset about it.

2/08/06 -- Harvard it is! Withdrew from all other schools.

nice to see a fellow wahoo history major doing well

Congratulations, and two quick questions

Hey, congratulations on the acceptance! I have two questions for you though. It would be awesome if you could answer them. I got a W on my transcript (non-punitive, non GPA counting,) Did you have any Ws on your transcript, or do you know anybody that has one or more and will it affect my acceptance into Harvard, Yale, etc? (Considering I get a high GPA and a high LSAT? (E-mail me or leave a message with the answer in my profile) Also, if you dont mind, could you tell me how you prepared for the LSAT?

I wonder if the deferral is a sort of yield protection - give you more time to withdraw, if you don't, they'll admit you...

yield protection

Yeah I bet you're right nesta. In any case, I'll be withdrawing soon.

It's bizarre that Columbia would defer someone with your stats. Enjoy Harvard though!

I totally agree with Nesta. They are both schools that seem to use the YP Deferral in order to gauge your seriousness of wanting to go there, before admitting you, because it's so likely that you will get gobbled up by HYS. Good luck and congrats!

It's sad

that schools have to go to such lengths as yield protection because of the rankings in a magazine.
