<p>That was nice, as I was zero for five yesterday (ouch. <em>laughs</em>) But, I'm probably not going unless if they offer me an extraordinary FA package, as I've got my heart set about 90% sure where I'm headed. So here's some hope for all of you waitlistees?</p>

<p>Waitlisted... and confused... I'm in at Duke, JHU, and Northwestern. </p>

<p>Congrats to all accepted!</p>

<p>DS was accepted! Still waiting on Scholarship info, but will probably take the full ride at Tulane, since it is unlikely he'll get this much from Emory and he prefers to get out of Atlanta and away from home.</p>

<p>Gotta love Emory. I was waitlisted. Well, maybe I'll see some of you at Princeton next year...</p>
