General Comments:
Wah-HOO-ray! Good news to hear this tonight, especially after waitlists at both CMU and Georgetown. I am waiting to hear from Dartmouth (deferred ED) and Cornell (RD) but I would seriously love to go to UVA! Good luck to everyone though. We'll see what happens on this nearing-the-end college journey...good luck to all, whereever you may go. We are all very privileged just to be able to go to college, no matter where. Never forget that. Never feel sorry for yourself, and who honestly cares an iota where your classmates are going. You look around, you fall behind in the race. "UPON MYSELF I MUST DEPEND." Again best of luck to all! Maybe I'll be at UVA next year...HOO knows?</p>
<p>thanks everyone! i know all the juniors, myself included, appreciated this! and congratulations to everyone who got in! and good luck to those who didn't get in, I'm sure you'll be happy wherever you end up!</p>
