<li>I was really ****ed about this at first because Georgetown has been my numer one, but I found out that I've been accepted at Cornell and Johns Hopkins, and JHU gave me a huge scholarship, so I think I might end up there. Not sure if I'm going to keep my name on the waitlist, because even if I did get in, there would be no scholarship like at JHU.</li>

<p>lol, I didn't know that p***ed was going to get starred, haha. Let's say I was really "mad."</p>

<p>I was waitlisted at MSB with SATI: 780 v, 740 m. SATII: 770 writing, 710 U.S. History, 670 Math IC. I take the hardest course schedule available (4 AP's this year. I got a 5 on the AP U.S. History exam last year) I am President of the Student Body and have worked in the sales support department of a reputable mortgage company for the past two summers. I also have some other EC's I am too lazy to list. Anyways, MSB waitlisted me and I dont understand why. Luckily, I was accepted into Wharton and will be attending Penn this fall.</p>
