<p>Congrats! Tsenguun! Are you attending?!</p>
<p>I will choose Cornell if they give me enough aid! If they don't, I might end up at Wesleyan or Colgate. </p>
<p>But I still have some schools left to hear from, including Vandy -- def my top choice!</p>
<p>^^^ lol! is there a holy COW?</p>
<p>I got exactly the same grant xD</p>
<p>Colgate >>>>>>> Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Colgate >>>>>>> Wesleyan</p>
<p>I know I am biased :D</p>
<p>Congrats, ajayc! Colgate is so generous!</p>
<p>I dont think so. Colgate has been really cranky about aid in the past years. I think they are trying to make up for the competition this year. Whatever works :)</p>
<p>I absolutely love Colgate!</p>
<p>brekw My daughter (in CA) was rejected. Received a single sheet letter on Friday.</p>
<p>now I am officially in at Cornell. I wonder how much FA they will give me. I am told to receive the package soon!</p>
<p>Tsenguun, good luck! Though I'd still say Colgate >>> Cornell</p>
<p>thanks ernchurl.</p>
<p>i still haven't gotten anything as far as i know (i'm on vacation). so still just waiting... awesome.</p>

<p>Colgate, why did you deny me, yet Notre Dame accepted me??? Silly people. I can't wait to write attending ND on the waitlist card... I'm still bitter.</p>
<p>lol congrats on getting into ND.</p>
<p>you know if you're still feeling really mad then...you could just write a hand-written note like HA! and then some other stuff. That could be fun for them to read haha and fun for you to get your anger out.</p>
<p>hahah I could dana thats not a bad idea... but I'll just cut my losses I suppose. Congrats to all those who got in, good luck to those waitlisted, and to those denied, I'm sure you already know you'll be happy anywhere as long as you make the best of your experience!</p>
<p>ajayc, why do you think so?</p>
<p>Lots of reasons. To begin with, you will be surrounded by people who are not out there to beat you or kill you. You will have a better college experience. I will write a detailed post soon! :)</p>
<p>Thank you! I will be glad to read that. I am accepted at Wesleyan, Colgate, and Cornell and struggling which one to choose. I think I will do some in-depth search.</p>
