<p>Congrats! 10char</p>

<p>Congrats!! That’s awesome! Good Luck! What’s your major? And did you get into Summer or Fall?</p>

<p>Fall 2012. I want to major in business, but I did not take trigonometry or higher in high school which is required for business. So instead I was admitted to the division of undergraduate studies.</p>

<p>Hey man congratulations! My stats are almost identical to yours. I am also a dedicated wrestler (varsity three years) When did you apply? And how long did it take to hear back? I could really appreciate it if you could tell me! Also, did you take any honors/ap’s? Congratulations!</p>

<p>I applied November 28th for early action. I received my acceptance today, December 12th which is a lot faster than most people. I did not take any honors classes freshman or sophomore year. I took three honors classes junior and am taking three A.P. classes senior year.</p>

<p>Yea, I applied on the 30th. You are the first person I know that heard back quickly without the 4.0 and 2000+ mumbo jumbo… Can you tell me where your from? Are you in-state or out of state?</p>

<p>I am out of state from Connecticut. I am also African-American which may have played a role.</p>

<p>Oh. I am from NJ and I’m Pakistani. My counselor told me at UP the diversity is getting worked on, I am also banking on the race card. Haha. May I ask you how long your personal statement was? Sorry for bombarding you with questions, your acceptance is giving me hope!</p>

<p>Don’t worry about the questions. I’m happy to give others hope. My personal statement was my college essay which is 500 words.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I made a big mistake! I put like a supplement type answer for the personal statement instead of putting my college essay. And then I mailed them my college essay and they said they didn’t accept regular “college essays” unless it was the personal statement! Yikes. I’m going to call them tomorrow and see if I can do anything about it. Did you enroll for the Fall or Summer semester?</p>

<p>I applied for fall 2012. I wanted to spend my summer in CT haha.</p>

<p>Haha, word. I’m just trying give myself the best room for acceptance. Did a lot of people apply to university park at your school? I Really want to go here lol. Thanks for helping man, means a lot to me.</p>

<p>Two other people that I know of got accepted. They both had better stats than me. There are others who are waiting for a reply as well. And no problem I hope you get in!</p>

<p>Yeah, man me too. Anyways, nice meeting you and I’ll definitely let you know if I get in. Peace.</p>

<p>UGH YOURE SO LUCKY. i literally applied seven years ago and i STILL havent heard back.</p>

<p>Have any transfers gotten accepted yet?</p>
