They send me an e-mail that they can’t offer admission on SOM because numbers are full (or overwhelmed whatever). So they ask me whether I want to apply CAS.

General Comments: Was deferred EA by New Paltz (later found out it was because of counsellor error) and waitlisted by Tulane (first choice), Fordham, and Lafayette. I have yet to hear from Syracuse, but it’s not looking good to me. Anyway, I was pretty confident I would be rejected. I wasn’t even considering it an option anymore, so I was absolutely dumbfounded when I received that green envelope in the mail.</p>
