<p>Cingrats Alita, froma fellow SFSer, hope to see you here next fall!</p>
<p>Ok, this is a better version of the stats format, copied from the Yale board with <em>tons</em> of gratitude (Yalies are awesome! Hope you don't mind us using it!)</p>
<p>Just go here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ubermeese.com/format.txt%5B/url%5D">http://www.ubermeese.com/format.txt</a></p>
<p>And then copy and paste into a new thread.</p>
<p>How incredibly random...all of you guys are amazing candidates and I'm sure dreadfully bright..I'm so sorry that you didn't get into Georgetown but hopefully you have other schools you like (because you can definitely get into the top notch schools, you have the stats!)</p>
<p>I definitely wouldn't lose hope for RD...we are going to need to keep each other sane for five more months! But the time leading up to it...Gosh it's just the worst!</p>
<p>Hey you guys, I think that we should keep this solely a decisions thread- no extra stuff. Sorry to be anal, but there are other threads to post on regarding other things. :)</p>
<p>Calidan- </p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing. Maybe someone should make a new thread that is ONLY stats and decisions, and then we can use the EA Catharsis thread for all random comments. What do you think?</p>
<p>That sounds good to me! (we really do think very alike!)</p>
<p>Soooo... how 'bout the next person to hear starts a new thread that has NOTHING but decisions on it. Okay?</p>
<p>Actually how about this-</p>
<p>Why don't you set up a thread that says something like "Official EA Decisions/Stats Thread" since you know how to do all that cool lettering and stuff. Then, in the instructions, BEG people not to post unless they are posting their stats and decisions. Direct them to the EA Catharsis thread if they want to post other stuff. And also include this link (if you like it, that is) </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ubermeese.com/format.txt%5B/url%5D">http://www.ubermeese.com/format.txt</a></p>
<p>so that it is uniform. What do you think? (And yes, we do think alarmingly alike!)</p>
<p>Okay, I'll do that now. Thanks! And good luck with the rest of your apps!</p>
<p>Thanks!! I'll talk to you guys tomorrow (and hopefully be done with 4/5) </p>
