<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>
