<p>thank you so much all you guys! I look forward to getting to know you in September 2005!</p>
<p><em>off to drool over the package :)</em></p>
<p>This is the happiest day of my life- the culmination of four years worth of dreams...thank you CC for seeing me through it :)</p>
<p>congratz sucharita!!!!</p>
<p>Now that I have regained some semblance of sanity, I will post my stats. :)</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT:800V 800M

[<em>] Other stats:Couple of national awards for creative writing, 6-7 years of Kathak (Indian classical dance) guitar, and some leadership awards in school. I was involved in a lot of stuff at school but I didn't put that stuff down because it seemed too insignificant. And I think honesty paid in my case.
Other than ECs I have a half sister who's completing her Ph.D in Princeton. I didnt write this in my app but I mentioned it to my interviewer
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: one was the best I have ever written, the other 2 were unscintillating, the additional info was interesting

[</em>] Counselor Rec: Again generic but not too bad
[<em>] Hook (if any): Nothing. Seriously

It was expected. I'll be a part of the Penn Class of 09, which I'm very happy about. Peace all.</p>
