General Comments:
Waitlisted at Georgetown, Cornell, CMU, admitted UVA, still waiting on william and Mary. I really liked Dartmouth but as the time drew closer I kept thinking about all kinds of different things, like it it too cold, too frat-dominated, etc etc. But that's only natural and I think I picked some good colleges so regardless of what I do it will be a good start mo my future. good luck to all, whereever you may go. We are all very privileged just to be able to go to college, no matter where. Never forget that. Never feel sorry for yourself, and who honestly cares an iota where your classmates are going. You look around, you fall behind in the race. "UPON MYSELF I MUST DEPEND." Again best of luck to all!</p>
