<p>Most other college boards have these so I thought I'd copy and paste into Santa Clara's.</p>
<p>It really is helpful for prospective students to see the decisions that will begin to roll in. It really does help, so please post.</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone</p>
<p>Copy and paste the following into the reply. Then fill in the answers. First decision, then SAT scores, etc.
Remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work...</p>
<p>lets make it a little more easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word "Red" is right now in the first line.</p>
