<p>Good luck! I’m sure you nailed nit.</p>
<p>I meant it*. This is what happens when you type without re-reading what you write.</p>
<p>Crisis! Not GS can’t find my high school transcript!! It was sent in with a letter of rec. (which they have) so I don’t understand how they could lose my transcript. My high school is all the way in Trinidad and Tobago. How can I get them to send another one at this 11th hour! This is ridiculous!!!</p>
<p>After a long, arduous, but worthwhile wait, looks like I will be sitting in class with you guys this fall. 
I got in !</p>
<p>I will add my stats after I get a hold of myself.</p>
<p>Random, the interview, spring grades, waiting, dwelling, obsessing (also with me via PM) has been worth it! Have a drink for me tonight!</p>
<p>Your next too philly, I can feel it:D. And yes, I am drinking as we speak, lol. I will be back on later, time to set my worried mind at ease with some good R & R.</p>
<p>Way to go Random!!! I’m happy for ya!!!</p>
<p>First round’s on me, Random!</p>
<p>By the way, I am still unable to login to financial aid.</p>

<p>Congrats you guys. Will see you in the writing course or orientation.</p>

<p>To everyone who got in it would be great to post your stats so that we can keep this thread as informative as possible.</p>
<p>Just registered for my classes today…so excited. Congrats to all that just got in!!</p>
<p>On another note, it’s nice to see the thread I started still going lol Even if it has slowed a bit</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone that got in!
And as Random just said, I’ll also post my stats here.</p>
<p>I was accepted to GS as a transfer, after a year in SUNY Binghamton.
SAT 1: verbal 730, math 750, writing 720.
SAT 2: math II 800, phys 800
GPA in Binghamton(while applying): 3.93 (3.96 now)
ECs: since I only stayed there for one year, really couldn’t get any leadership positions. member of SIFE team(a business group), student ambassador, member of McKenna 5K committee(which organizes an annual memorial run), member of the crew team.
life story: went to college in China right after high school, did ok with a 3.1-ish GPA, and came to the US after a year there. My family underwent some difficulties and I stopped education and started working. Worked 3 jobs at the same time over a two-year period to help my family settle down, and then I went to Binghamton to continue study. </p>
<p>my essay was mostly about my struggle during the years outside school and how the experience has changed me. To my surprise, the essay came out very well.
I handed in the application on Mar 2nd(yeah… one day after EA), and had a phone interview on Apr.27th. She basically asked me what I was doing for the past years, how I was doing in college now, why I chose the major Econ+Math, and what I’ll be doing if I was not accepted(duh!). The decision came out really fast, within two days or so. I was so excited but still had a week of hell during the coming finals, as they asked for the final transcript.</p>
<p>Hope my story helps. In my case, I think it’s my change that they’re satisfied with.</p>
<p>Once again, congratulations to all that got in, and good luck to everyone that’s still waiting! Hope to see you soon</p>
