<p>lol is this it? What happened to the other decisions?</p>
<p>Accepted! :)</p>
<p>^One must keep in mind that
- When someone gets rejected, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t to post his/her rejection on a forum for strangers to see
- Some people who had other first choices and got accepted to them are too thrilled with those acceptances to think about their other ones
- Strangely, some people who get accepted choose other ways to celebrate than posting their acceptances on a forum for strangers to see.</p>
<p>There’ll be more - once wounds heal and drunken celebratory hangovers wear off.</p>
<p>oops. i meant CALS instead of CAS for AEM. my bad.</p>
<p>^Lol at reason #3</p>
