<p>I really wish I could say it's a done deal, but for me I have to wait for other colleges, to see what kind of FinAid packages I get. It would be really hard to turn it down though, and I can't reasonably see myself doing that. Anyone else?</p>
<p>I wish I could say it was a done deal. I'm pretending like it is, waiting until my semester ends, and picking up a job three or four days a week. </p>
<p>I'm also dropping a few colleges off my list, however I'm keeping a few on to see if I get money. </p>
<p>My mom didn't say anything when I go in! She was probably thinking "OH God, how is she going to pay for this?!?!"</p>
<p>But after this roller coaster...I feel like nothing can or should stop me!</p>
<p>I'm not going for sure, but it is definitely at the top of my list. It all depends on if I get really good financial aid from somewhere else. However, for the time being, it looks like Georgetown [size=+1]University Class of 2009[/size][color=black]![/color]</p>
<p>Also, as Manderz said, I was able to drop many colleges off my list (like USC, ugh). This acceptance totally saved my Christmas Break! I would have had to do all of the applications that I have been puting off during my break.</p>
<p>Calidan, I know EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!</p>
<p>I was dreading deferral a) because I am head over heels in love with Georgetown and b) I haven't really started my other apps...</p>
<p>now I'm eliminating NYU, American, and maybe Penn!</p>
<p>right. I'm eliminating GW, because there's no need for another school in DC</p>
<p>Hey Manderz- I can't decide whether I should eliminate Penn or not. Any help? Do you know if they give good FinAid?</p>
<p>Calidan- I, too, decided to eliminate Penn. I'm now down to Yale, Stanford, Brown, UVA and Tufts. (So all I have to finish are UVA and Brown!) </p>
<p>But to answer the question, I'm 90% sure I'll go to Gtown. I really can't imagine going elsewhere, even if I miraculously happene to get in at one of these schools. So as Calidan said, for now it seems like Georgetown University, Class of 2009!! Hell yeah, baby!!!</p>
<p>I agree with all of you, pretty much. I dropped Harvard and Brown from my list, because I would rather go to Georgetown. And unless I get a full ride somewhere else, I am 95% sure I will see all of you guys in September! We will definitely need to have a CC reunion there.</p>
<p>Lauren, that's exactly my take. It just seems like there's no reason to try elsewhere, because this is exactly where I want to be. Say this out loud: "I am a HOYA!"</p>
<p>I'm still freaking out. Anyone else?</p>
<p>And yes, we <em>defnitely</em> need to have a CC reunion!! IT would be so cool to meet all of you HOYAS in person!!!</p>
<p>Hey guys!! Woot! We did it! I'm 95% sure I'll be going. I have a full-ride, and I'll get the best of both worlds--excellent military training as well excellent international schooling. Time to start building my wardrobe... And if the guy I'm head over heels for goes to Catholic U for grad school, how much better would that be?</p>
<p>And yes, we'll definitely have to have a meeting. At a cool coffee shop, feeling all sophisticated... :)</p>
<p>DEFINITELY FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Dan,
Not sure about Penn...I'm thinking about dropping it because compared to their student body, I am not likely to get a merit scholarship..But I'd like to try and apply to one Ivy League just to say oh yeah "Penn wouldn't take me" or "I got accepted" (lame, I know).</p>
<p>I'm really having trouble deciding who I want to knock off my list- so if you find anything out by means of whether or not Penn is good, let me know!</p>
<p>I'm knocking Notre Dame off list. Hey, its a great feeling when something "wants" you back, so right now, Georgetown seems number 1.</p>
