I wasn't planning on being admitted to JHU, and I wouldn't have been all that disappointed if I were rejected. I really just applied because it took the Common App, so I just threw it in. I'm suprised and pleased that I was accepted, though. :) But it probably means that now I'll have to go visit to see if I might actually want to go.</p>
