<p>Let's try to eliminate all discussion posts within this thread and keep all posts strictly decisions. Just copy/paste the following list and take out all the spaces between the brackets and enter your stats. </p>
<p>The reason I only want decisions posted within this thread is for the future classes who want to see who was accepted/rejected, and it starts to look cluttered if every other post is "Omg, when will I hear?" So if you have a personal question, make a separate thread and you will get an answer!</p>

[ /list][ b]Other Factors/Hook?:[ /b] Taking on major leadership roles, something that is the polar opposite of the super shy freshman I was</p>
<p>[ b]General Comments:[ /b] More than likely I'll end up going here, I like it the most overall, and it's the most affordable out of the rest that I've applied. However, they have given me the least amount in scholarships so far. Seton Hall gave me 17500 a year, and Drew University gave me 21000 per year. And, I'm still waiting on Carnegie Mellon, but, I'm not expecting or hoping for an acceptance from them anyway.</p>
