Cheers to some acceptance letters! I'd love to see one from Minnesota!

Sunday, October 30 2011 at 08:00 PM

I have somehow managed to dodge rejections from Berkeley up to this point, so it fills me with delusional hope that there might, perhaps, be a chance I'll get an acceptance :) Good luck on your cycle!

Saturday, April 23 2011 at 08:00 PM

Thanks! Congrats on your acceptance as well, and good luck with the rest of your applications!

Negotiating Scholarship
Thursday, November 22 2012 at 07:00 PM

Hi there! I was wondering what your method was for negotiating merit aid from Hastings? My stats are similar to yours and I haven't heard back from Hastings yet, but they are one of my top choices and I'm really hoping I get in and can hopefully negotiate some sort of merit aid.
