<p>Polo, where do you play?! I love water polo and I've been on my school's varsity team for four years and was captain this year. I am just extremely interested, and this post has nothing to do with your post (almost).</p>
<p>Bay Area (I'll PM you with the exact school...don't want everyone knowing where I go to school) 2 years JV and 2 years Varsity. Captain Senior Year just like you. Where do you play? (You can PM me if you want)</p>
<p>So to update this, I recently got a 18,000 scholarship to American and I got into Boston University too (haven't heard about any merit scholarships yet...meaning perhaps I didn't get any).</p>
<p>My heart is still set on Cornell/Harvard/Northwestern, so hopefully I get into at least one of them. Keep your fingers crossed for me please :)</p>
<p>Well guys, I'm updating this one FINAL time to let you know where I got in and where I didn't.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Northwestern, so I think ultimately being an international student asking for aid was the deciding factor, as I contacted them and they said that for that pool of applicants they admitted less than 10 percent.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Harvard, which was EXTREMELY surprising. I'm actually really happy about it, I'm going to stay on the waitlist, show a lot of interest, and hopefully something good will happen there.</p>
<p>And lastly...I GOT INTO CORNELL :) :) :) This is basically my dream school, and I was SO EXCITED when I got in. Ultimately, I think my essays, letters of recommendation, and the interview really gave me the needed edge to get in. I'm so incredibly happy, and hopefully you guys heard some good news too.</p>
