Class of 2015 Official RD Decisions Thread

WongTongTong · March 10, 2011, 4:34pm

Here is the format for when decisions do come out. The trick is to take the spaces out of the brackets before you post. If you don't, then the formatting won't work.

Please, follow the directions... too many times people just copy and paste this template instead of removing the spaces.

Pick one:

This is my first reach school acceptance and my confidence plummeted after my Brown ED defereral CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO GOT IN!!! Also, if you got waitlisted, don’t be discouraged. There are some rumors on here about WUSTL admissions being funky and it’s hard to show interest there since there’s no supp. I ALMOST DIDN’T APPLY HERE BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF TIME TO APPLY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD THINK I WAS UNINTERESTED I’M SO HAPPY I DID!!
