<p>Has anyone (who found out Friday) got their offical letter yet?</p>
<p>I want it so bad it hurts lol</p>
<p>I got waitlisted. Hahahah... I'm a finalist for both Duke and Emory scholarships, and WashU waitlisted me. I treated all schools the same, visited for same lengths of time, applied for scholarships at all three. WashU apparently did not like me. </p>
<p>I don't think I'll be bothering to get off the waitlist. I'd rather deal with a school that doesn't have sneaky acceptance practices.</p>
<p>shahein, if you dont mind my asking, how were your stats?</p>
<p>I live in Texas and received my letter today, not that I really wanted it.</p>
<p>I live in Virginia and received mine today.. blah</p>
<p>question...i also got waitlisted...what do we do now?</p>
<p>Those of you who have received letters- did you apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>thats worrisome i live in ky and havent gotten it yet
oh well maybe tomorrow <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>neftyjik, did you check your decision online?</p>
