Not my top choice, but excited I got in! .</p>
<p>I actually read somewhere that if you had most of the required parts of your app, but were missing one of two parts, they would start to review your application and continue when all the missing parts were available and give you a decision as soon as possible. It’s just not guaranteed by Dec 24th. Also, if you’re teacher recommendation was postmarked before Nov. 1st then you will definitely hear back before Dec 24th.</p>
<p>No one did on this thread, but I had to make a new user name because when I was posting on a different school’s thread I got flooded with PMs and it got very obnoxious. It really wasn’t meant to come across as snobby, I just think its important to note because I probably wouldn’t have gotten in without it. </p>

[ *] Counselor Rec: i go to see the guy paranoid all the time about college haha so he knows me pretty well, i hear he writes really good ones
