School Are Actually Deciding!

More news!

Today I went to check my mail box and I received a letter of acceptance and additional materials from Columbia. I do not think I will be accepting, however each acceptance is a nice feeling!

The next step is to draft and send my first round of withdrawl letters. Currently I am planning on withdrawling from the following schools:

Indiana
Cornell
Boalt

I am also considering withdrawling from the following schools:

GULC
Columbia

I am waiting on scholarships from the following schools before I withdrawl (assuming the offer isn't enough to sway me)

Penn
Chicago
U Va
Michigan

I will keep everybody updated and of course I will post a copy of the letter I send as well!

Chicago

Heard from the University of Chicago in an odd way.

I went to see a movie, and when I got out, I had a messege on my cell phone. I checked the messege and it was from EIGHT HOURS EARLIER and it was from the University of Chicago. I called during business hours the next day and asked her to cal me back. I walked away from my computer for three minutes and missed her call. I then called back and she notified me that I was accepted.

After this had occured, I went downstairs to check my mail. Sure enough, there was an envelope from the University of Chicago containing an acceptance letter. If I had read my mail first, I would have been able to save myself the trouble of playing phone tag with the admissions office.

Oh well, such is life.

I hear Chicago gives nice things during ASW so I fully plan on visiting.

The title has absolutely nothing to do with this post, it is just a statement of fact. That said, this week I received a letter of notification from U Va that I was accepted. The letter went on to tell me that they would be considering me for scholarship funds and notifying me once the scholarship committee makes a decision (they said I would be notified in March or April).

So that is some good news.

I hope to hear from Chicago this week!

So

After returning to school I have some more news worth updating:

I was accepted to Indiana with a decent but not full ride scholarship. I was debating if I should just withdrawl now when.....

I was also accepted to UIUC with a full ride scholarship. I will let Indiana know when I get back to school. other than those two, nother earthshattering, mostly updates from schools I have already heard of.

Harvard's binder is TIGHT.

Also, UVa emailed me to tell me they sent my package, Im guessing its good newsbut who knows.

I will keep everybody updated.
