<p>I think the other thread got a little convoluted, so how about everyone post their results here? Whether you applied to CC or SEAS, please share the decision/your stats. Thanks!</p>
<p>P.S. No one post until after 5 pm on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
<p>Can we ask for this thread to be stickied so that it remains at the top of the forum?</p>
<p>P.S. I know it's not past 5pm Tuesday; please don't berate me!</p>

<p>omg...just seeing the template in the actual thread for this year is making me nervous</p>
<p>nah, it's fine, i just didn't want people to post a billion things and make it like 12 pages long like the other one, haha.</p>
<p>In at SEAS!!! Best day of my life (or close). </p>
<p>Oh and ignore the glaring discrepancy of my screen name. I changed my mind (for the better) after creating it. Hahaha. Maybe I should get a new one. :D</p>
