<p>Finally, I'm actually going to college! It's so amazing to know (well, almost) that I have the chance to go somewhere like wellesley! YAY. I was actually semi-calm opening the letter, but I celebrated later and I'm still smiling :)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone : ) It'll work out... it's just the ED rejection and Wellesley's rejection in a row is a bit discouraging. But yes, Mini, I do study voice, and Smith/Barnard both seem to have better instruction/performance opportunities. Again, congratulations to all who got likelys... it's a fabulous place, and if you all choose to go I'm sure it will be awesome.</p>
<p>Possible.
I don't know about extra letters of rec, I might send them in a resume.
It seems that I fit in with others who are possibles too.
if you want to know my stats pm me. I wasn't a likely though, so I don't know if anyone is even curious.
but anyways, I'm happy. Slightly disappointed, but happy. :) <feeble grin=""></feeble></p>
<p>maintainyourvelocity, i applied to bryn mawr, wesleyan, swarthmore, BU, NYU, pomona, stanford, brown, and tufts and of course, wellesley. obviously a lot of reaches!</p>
<p>i still haven't got mine yet...i live in washington, so the mail probably will take a few extra days to get here. plus, my midyear report was faxed and mailed to Wellesley only 9 days ago.</p>
<p>Likely! I had told my mom not to open the letter, only to find her when I get home trying to figure out what it said in the envelope under a light. I'm sure she'll have the technique down in time for April.</p>
<p>I applied to Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, & Scripps as well. It's too bad my mom is adamantly againt me going to a women's college. We've only visited Scripps, which I thought was beautiful, and even though the other Claremont colleges are right there (Claremont McKenna is quite nearly 100 yards away!), she won't budge. Errr. At least I did apply to a few co-eds- Grinnell, Middlebury, Swarthmore (deferred), and Bowdoin. </p>

30 ACT, 1980 SAT, 710 Bio/E, 670 U.S., 3/83, 4.04W

<p>I went to Harvard SSP '04 and fell in love with Boston. It's a great city. I wrote my essay about it vs. life on the farm back home.</p>
<p>I wrote about Boston too! Best city on earth :D</p>
<p>Right, I'm getting kind of tired of putting these numbers down all over the place (for teachers, scholarships, colleges, etc), so this is going to be a very lazy job:</p>

<p>YES!! Now I know I don't have to go to the University of Washington, which was the only school out of 9 I had already heard from. the UW is a great, truly underrated public university, but how can it compare to one of the best LACs in the country??</p>
<p>To the girls who got possibles--hang in there and do your best to wow them over (I've had to do it with the school that deferred my app SCEA)!! To those who received unlikelies--I'm sorry, but with your accomplishments I'm sure you'll end up somewhere fantastic! Keep your hopes up!</p>
