I highly doubt any of you are following this thread anymore- but just to wrap it up- this afternoon I was accepted early decision to Tufts University, and will be attending next fall. I am beyond thrilled. Thank you @merc81 , @Dunboyne, @goingnutsmom , @am61517 , and anyone else who helped me out- I thought you might be curious as to how everything ended up.
Congratulations! All that list-making and worrying… made you more thorough and prepared! Have fun.
So happy for you!!
