<p>Still, nice to see a "Congratulations!" after Columbia rejected me, hah.</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! :)</p>
<p>kiki how did you see that comment on your essay?</p>
<p>No, I was quoting what someone else said about their essays. I was just saying that after re-reading mine, I say that I also had a couple mistakes. The adcom did not say that- I did.</p>
<p>waitlisted..but going to wake forest!</p>
<p>congratulations to everyone that got in!</p>
<p>Waitlisted.
Like I was everywhere else haha.
But I'm going to WashU :)
Congrats to all who were accepted! Glad for you!</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who was accepted!
I was rejected, but I am relieved because I was having second thoughts about Emory.
On the other hand, I had a real nice letter of rejection, offered to apply to Oxford, but they didn't let me know about any typoes, was any rejection letter that personalized such as KiKi's?</p>
<p>^My letter WAS NOT personalized (and I was not rejected). I read over and saw myself that I had a few typos. THE ADCOM DID NOT TELL ME. Nothing horrible, just a few mistakes.</p>
<p>I have no hard feelings about Emory, I actually like the school, good luck to everyone.
I am still deciding, may go to GW</p>
<p>D got in. Also William & Mary, Wesleyan, Colgate and Bucknell. Tough decisions now. My D wants to go everywhere. I've been to Emory when I was in Atlanta on business and really liked it. Now she has to fly down to see for herself. Anyone here from Jersey?</p>
