General Comments:
I was ridiculously happy when I received my notification of early admission. I had been in a slump after months of only hearing from Rutgers (state school) after my deferral from Columbia and this really picked up my mood. Waiting on 3 more schools now (Brown, UPenn, Columbia) and I’m not feeling too good about them. If any underclassmen are reading this, take my advice and play a sport. It doesn’t matter what sport, just start playing and get good at it.

kaisan · March 31, 2010, 4:37pm

If both of you guys were accepted to CAS… I’ll be very surprised if I don’t get accepted. I have very similar stats, and wrote a killer essay.

If you didn’t get a likely letter does that mean you won’t get in? i applied to human ecology

No, likely letters are not sent out to everyone, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be accepted.
