<p>hi! been lurking around a long time, and finally decided to post after receiving some great news today. got my acceptance to dean's scholars!! i'm incredibly psyched (and very awestruck that i actually got in). </p>

<p>add yourself when you get your acceptances too! oh, anyone going to the dean's scholars open house day on jan. 19?</p>

<p>Post your stats. I'm trying to guage whether I should apply or not, since it's so selective and my stats suck.</p>

<p>other factors?
i really liked my essay B, but thought my essay F was just meh.
i didn't have science/math awards worth mentioning or any scientific research, which i thought would be a very important factor. but i guess not? </p>
