Yes, things worked out well: Accepted ED @ Columbia (College).</p>
<p>For those anxiously awaiting their ED/RD decisions from Yale, I know this is a really tough time for you all. Best of luck, and, no matter what, never give up!; but don't forget there is usually more than one way to reach any goal. Sometimes doors open, but where they close windows usually open.</p>
