<p>[/ul]General Comments:</p>
<p>WOW! the most incredible thing is the renewable grant they awarded me which gives me basically free tuition!!!why me?</p>
<p>oh sorry i had just copied and pasted a chances from another thread: got into Fairfield University (safety with merit aid, not much though), Boston University (FullTuition!), and Johns Hopkins University (Full Tuition!!)</p>
<p>Just to update on my previous post:
Cornell gave me no financial aid, which, in all truthfulness, sucks. Princeton didn’t accept any students from the wait list. I’ll reapply to princeton and some other universities next year.
:)</p>
<p>@TiagoCorreia: So you are planning to take a gap year? I was thinking of applying as transfer but some schools like Princeton don’t take any transfers apparently :(</p>
