<p>I was accepted to Smith with Stride, but I chose IU (instate) instead 4 days before the reply deadline :'C that was hard. I had really fallen in love with Smith, but I couldn’t stand to use all of my savings and still graduate with debt, when I’m contemplating grad school.</p>
<p>better news from anyone else? caterpillar and mcclee?</p>
<p>I’m attending Agnes Scott! 
I also got accepted to Smith (but no fancy Stride, only a grant), but it was too expensive.</p>
<p>I just got off the waitllist for Bryn Mawr and I think i am attending =)</p>

Interview: I made horrifying social blunders like talking so loudly that everyone in Starbucks could hear and saying that my friends considered me a genius. However, my interviewer was expecting this, as I had warned her in an e-mail that I had Asperger’s.
Teacher Rec: awesome
Counselor rec: never saw it
Essay: how being diagnosed with autism at 15 changed my life…for the better.
Hooks: my interesting life story. I think that ASC considered my diagnosis a hook; a professor there is studying Asperger’s in girls, and my interviewer spoke of the untapped potential that she thought young aspies presented.</p>
<p>I’ll be attending Smith College in the fall. Congrats and good luck to everyone! :)</p>
<p>I’m attending Mount Holyoke next Spring. =) Smith unfortunately did not pull through with my waitlist, but I’m excited about Mount Holyoke anyways.</p>
