<p>Post Here Where you applied, and where you finally were accepted for FOCUS.</p>
<p>(A Little Early, but why not get the Thread Count up?)</p>
<p>Today's the day...</p>
<p>I've not yet heard anything either via email or US mail.
I'm getting impatient....</p>
<p>They tell you by email I believe. But...what time?</p>
<p>Also, do we only get into one program, or can we pick which one we like if we get into all 3?</p>
<p>I totally forgot about it, can someone check their email and tell me what happened.</p>
<p>Visions of Freedom...ugh. That was my third choice. </p>
<p>How do we tell them we don't want to do FOCUS? I don't think the program cluster is that great so I'm not sure I want to basically sacrifice my first semester for it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got into Visions of Freedom, but it was my first choice. I am happy.</p>
<p>...CHANGING FACES OF RUSSIA?! wth, i didn't even put that as a choice PERIOD. i'm angry about that...and i'm dropping it like its hot.</p>
<p>awwwwww....Russia would be interesting. Yo, banana, what is wrong with the Visions cluster?</p>
<p>hmm.... forging social ideals. Is anyone else doing this one... I don't know what to make of it. It seems kinda interesting, but it wasn't one of my choices.</p>
<p>I put Visions third because I had to put a third choice, not because I was that interested in it. I only like one of the courses (the pol sci one). I haven't talked to any students that did Visions of Freedom last year so I don't know much about it in terms of workload, profs, etc. </p>
<p>Can we be sure we got into the specific cluster we applied to?</p>
<p>changing faces of russia...</p>
<p>i don't see why you're so angry - the classes are interesting and we get to go to russia.</p>
<p>i guess it would be interesting.</p>
<p>but i'm a BME major in pratt. russia and BME -- i don't see a connection. it would kinda kill any chances of a double major in anything except like russian lit or something. i dunno, i'd just rather than a normal courseload.</p>
<p>lol Aries, you didn't even put that as a choice?</p>
<p>you are right to "drop it like its hot'</p>
<p>Some of the neat polisci courses in the fall are for FOCUS only, for visions of America, which is pretty cool, but Russia I don't really see much to...</p>
<p>Evolution & Humankind for me - my 2nd choice - still great!</p>
<p>Yay I got in to Visions of Freedom!!!</p>
<p>still no email........... does that mean i didn't get into any of them??? ><</p>
<p>okie............. got my email.......
Athen in GOlden age........
