I’m glad to have my first college acceptance, even though it took a long time for them to get my transcript (I applied at the end of November and it took my transcript over a month to arrive). However, they got back within a week, plus I got into the UHC. Even though Pitt is not my top choice, I’m still excited and will consider it whenever I get my other admissions decisions.</p>
