(I hope I picked up the right meaning for that term lol)</p>
<p>Bump. Bump. Bump.</p>
<p>So useful! I will post mine after 10 Mar.</p>
<p>same here! i’m so nervous though</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>i love this thread. BUMP until March 10</p>
<p>…bump…</p>
<p>Just found this thread. I’ll post March 10th too, good news or bad.</p>
<p>Bump!</p>
<p>IMO, it would be good to add to this (to compile a master list for future applicant classes), but also have a separate, simpler (just decisions) new thread for 2011 applicant class.</p>
<p>@SevenDad</p>
<p>I agree. But perhaps two separate threads linked together…decisions and stats. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>i think we should add to this thread, and make another Master List of 2011 Acceptances</p>
<p>What is a ‘first choice letter’ and is this a common thing to send? And at what point in the process?</p>
<p>bump for M10</p>
<p>Bump 10/03/2011</p>

[</em>] GPA Unweighted- Weighted: Idk… I had most A’s I guess around a 3.7ish?
[<em>] Rank: My school doesn’t rank. If it did, I’d be within the top 1-4 out of 14.
[</em>] Other stats: Played piano for six years. Sang for 8 years 12 hours a week. Could sing three different voice parts. Played trumpet for five years. Four kinds of recorder for four years. Handbells for two years. Karate for eight years. I was a black belt. Track for one year and casual running for one year. </p>
<p>[/ul]**Subjective: **[/list]
[<em>] I honestly thought they were really good. Some of the best writing I’ve ever done IMO. Of course, every applicant says that.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: I saw a few of them. They were really good. My teachers liked me so I’m not too worried about my recs
[<em>] Principal Rec: My principal knew me for four years and he loved me. I’m sure he wrote a good rec.
