VirusNY (2022-2023)

Good luck with your apps, looks like we have almost identical profiles.

Actually I root for the Yankees and Mets. If they were playing each other, I'd probably root for the Yankees though. My dad grew up in Queens and the Bronx and rooted for both so I inherited it from him. I root for the Jets and Giants, Rangers and Devils too.

You've probably already thought of this, but unless you'd consider going there with a nice scholarship, I wouldn't apply to GW, Fordham, and BU without fee waivers. It's virtually impossible that you won't get into at least 1 top 14 school.

I appreciate the compliment! I felt like it went well (I upped my grade to B+ after further thought), but I am trying to stay level-headed about it. Good luck on your cycle!

Thanks for the encouragement - it looks like you're going to have a great cycle, too. I really admire your ability to get things in EARLY! Any tips to force myself to give up and just accept that there is no "perfect" PS or resume?? :P

Good luck application twin. :) Many similar fee-waivers... I didn't get Georgetown, W& L, or Penn, but did get Northwestern and UCLA. What does "hidden waiver" mean? We have almost identical application schools. Similarly non-impressive SF's as well? Will be interesting to compare results. :)

I don't like the big city so I am thinking I shouldn't bother applying to Columbia or NYU since I would be miserable at either place. I would take NYU by a long shot over Columbia though, don't have a fee waiver however :(. I do have one for Columbia but at this point I'm really just planning on not using it...

On Duke!

Congrats on Duke! Pressure's off now unless you're really desperately awaiting Columbia.

CONGRATS ON DUKE - DEFINITLEY WOULD LOVE TO GET AN ACCEPTANCE THAT HIGH UP! KEEP EM COMIN'!

...but I had to have some "sure things" in there just in case - too bad I already applied and paid for the LSDAS report or I would have rescinded them. Oh well - let it ride and hell yea we will be congratulating each other many more times - what's the realistic number 1 for you???

I got it 6 days after I was accepted. I don't recall there being any special goodies in it.

Didn't realize you were ED @ Columbia. I suspect you'll find your cycle ends up being rather boring. :) Why ED @ Columbia?

BEST OF LUCK - Those seem like extremely realistic expectations! I'm pulling for ya!

On Georgetown!

Congrats :)

for the congrats! Happy Thanksgiving!

Good job with Georgetown. You getting worried about not hearing from Michigan?

dayum...GULC and Duke already? you are going to have a kickass cycle my friend...I am jealous indeed! Congrats on years of hard work paying off!

Why you so worried about not being complete? At least you've heard from them one way or another. I haven't heard from Berkeley (where I actually have SOME chance) at all and don't know what to do. And, think of it this way: as long as you're not complete, they can't reject you. :-p

on your acceptances (and being done with applying!). I guess we both have a bit of time to wait it out now...gah - it's so nerve-crushing!

Good luck with Columbia, I assume you'll be hearing soon. I'm pronouncing my Columbia RD app dead on arrival but we'll see.

Did you check your Michigan status checker? I went to "Decision" this AM (hadn't bothered checking originally because it was a Saturday)...

Damn, 3 acceptances to awesome schools! I am jealous bro, you are killin it!

Remember the process here... once you go complete they give your file to somebody on their committee. Also, keep in mind that my application package is decidedly non-impressive. If I got in it is because I am simply above their presumptive-admit criteria this year. Then again, I might just be the first ding of the cycle. Moral of the story: chillax until we get to Christmas; if you haven't heard then we may have issues.

I meant to say that if I get in with our numbers & my non-existent SF's (I _struggled_ to find one or two extracurriculars to put down so those boxes weren't totally empty, like I forgot them), you pretty much have to be in also (given your, at the very least, existent SF's).

Tasty scholarship offer.

Thanks for the good vibes. :) All of our crying is kind of moot because the worst we're going to end up is at BIGLAW factory aka Duke. :) That ND scholarship offer is very nice. The ONLY places that could woo me away, I think, from the T14 at this point are Vandy & ND (especially ND). Are you seriously considering the ND offer over Duke? Which engineering would you have done if you could go back? What is your major?

hi, are you still waiting for columbia ed? I haven't heard anything yet and was wondering if you think any more acceptances will be coming... also did gtown send your acceptance to your current or permanent address? Thanks and good luck.. looks like you already have some great options either way.

Congrats on Vandy. Hopefully Michigan is up next for both of us. I don't think I can take many more disappointing status checks.

And all your other acceptances.

5 acceptances including 2 T14 and Vandy? Dude, you should buy a lottery ticket because you are unstopable!

Hey! I know this sounds like a crazy question, but how does one apply for a fee waiver?

haha yes thanks!

Just be happy you've only been waiting for a month, I've been looking at Complete for almost 2. I'm glad Cornell came today to ease my pain.

I noticed that with the exception of UVa, so far I've gotten my acceptances in order by when I went complete. Maybe Michigan was just waiting for Cornell to keep the pattern going. (**Wishful thinking**)

Sorry about Columbia. :(

cornell!

and congrats on ...er... everything! you're doing so well!

Virus man, freakin congrats on Cornell!!!! I love that school. You are doing so well this cycle and you deserve it!

on the acceptances so far and good luck on all the rest.

On Michigan!

Panthers? Adelphi had a team or something? I don't need to keep you updated, I will tell you how it all goes down for me right now. Rejection, Rejection, Rejection, maybe, Nope, Rejection, Accepted... wait wrong person rejected.

congrats on michigan! hope to see you at the same ASW. how does mich stack up in terms of your preferences?

Thanks. Hope your acceptance is coming soon too.

Thank you!!! This cycle has exceeded my wildest dare-to-dreams :) I'm SURE you've got more good news coming to you...including a jump off the Penn waitlist. I just hope it's in time for whatever Penn ASW I end up at :)

haha, hellz ya bro! Its a pretty cool honor society to be in I guess. Dude, you are ballin out this cycle, those are some really nice schools!

Wait listed at Hofstra. I'm screwed lol

Just got the deferral email myself today. I am with you...NICE!

it looks like we're pretty similar applicants. Congrats on your success so far! I hope you hear from the others soon... this waiting is torturous.

Woah, you got soooo much money there!! that's awesome...
