<p>what? when did you find out you were rejected by duke?</p>
<p>Admitted: Penn, Georgetown, Hopkins, Tulane...and Yale.
Rejected: Brown (figures)</p>
<p>ThomasH32, were you not only accepted for the non-degree program at... Yale?</p>
<p>UCSB rejected me based on the number of units I had accumulated and I honestly do not know why Pepperdine rejected me I considered it a safety.</p>
<p>I'm sorry GT2. Waitlists are TORTURE. I was on the Brown waitlist last year as a freshman. NOt to bring you down or anything....</p>
<p>Certainties: Yeah Brown is well known for it's neuroscience (they just got a graduate cooperative agreement with NIH). Though I think Vassar has good science too, 'specially for a LAC. Anyways, about ceramics, Brown has connections with RISD so I could take a few classes over there, but they are hard to schedule. Vassar has a dinky craft center, but no courses. Brown doesn't have a craft center. About rugby, Vassar has an awesome VARSITY rugby team (only like 2 schools in the country give their rugby team varsity status - it's usually a club sport) and Brown has an awesome club team. </p>
<p>I'm all about the Brown (it's been the apple of my eye for a LONG time) except for a few concerns. One is that there is a huge sense of community at Vassar, and I"m not sure what the community feel is like at Brown, and that's something that's really important to me. Also, I think the transition as a transfer would be really easy at Vassar, and I'm not so sure about at Brown. But I think despite the smoothe transition, I may end up feeling stifled and bored at Vassar. But I dunno!!</p>
<p>lol, either way, I've got one rugby coach to REALLY DISSAPOINT (I'm gonna throw humility to the wind here -- I rock :))</p>
<p>THOMAS! GO TO YALE, GTOWN, OR PENN OVER TULANE!! i DUNNO BOUT JHU, IMHO, I DON'T LIKE THE PLACE. I'M TRANSFERRING OUT OF tULANE. iT'S A GREAT SCHOOL BUT NOT FOR ME. IF YOU WANT INFO I CAN GIVE YOU TONS. (PERSONALLY I'D GO WITH YALE, ALL THE WAY :))</p>
<p>anisky: to quote the infamous tucker max... uchicago is the place where fun goes to die. Unless, by all means, you're into that kind of fun death thing!</p>
<p>Olis: where ya headed (brown brown brown brown brown brown brown <em>cough</em>) :D</p>

<p>Accepted: Cornell, Binghamton University, SUNY University at Buffalo
Rejected: none
Attending: Cornell</p>
<p>I called them up yesturday the 18th and they told me. (In reference to divagirl question about hearing from Duke).</p>
<p>clay, im really leaning towards Brown, [inappropriate comment deleted - Mod JEM]. The general atmosphere to me a Georgetown is a very cold one it seems. I know I would do great there, but at the end of the day I would want to go to school with real people.
-----However, and this is big, I have obligations to SFS that are going to be very hard to navigate, please don't ask.</p>

<p>Olischulze, i could not agree with you more. It seems to me that without an advanced knowledge of theory, IR is meaningless. The problem with sfs in some regards is that it is a vocational school. They are teaching people how to be fso, not how to do advanced academic research in ir. However, the advantage of the later is that it does not preclude the former. You can be an academic of IR and go into the foriegn service. However, it is hard to be trained in the skill of statecraft and then turn out a publishable paper.</p>
<p>Accepted: Cornell, Penn
Denied: Brown
Attending: PENN (if I get enough money)</p>
<p>nspeds...originally, but because I didn't want to do that (non-degree), they are considering me for the degree program, now...although I am still permitted to attend and enroll in classes.
You know, after talking with all of these schools, I'm not really sure if they even go through our applications very thoroughly. I really din't think they read our essays or look at EC's as complete as we think they do....hmmmm.</p>
<p>Thomas, I'm pretty familiar with Penn's process. They definitely do a weeding out of sorts. Then the "good" applications are given a thorough reading.</p>
