jelabidin · March 26, 2009, 3:58pm

For future students, I believe it would be beneficial to split up the In-State and OOS threads as to create a more accurate data pool to compare onself against. I can't wait for 5 pm! Good Luck Everyone!

Cheers.

Rejected.

But got into William and Mary and a few small out-of-state private LACs.

Strange...

Oh, well.

h3rrokitty · March 26, 2009, 5:07pm

don't stress.
the place to shine is grad school
and the way to get there is william and mary or small out-of-state private LACs

ethician · March 26, 2009, 5:12pm

They made my decision back in January because I had submitted in early December. When I logged in back then it said that my decision was made and I could view it. When I clicked the view completed decision button it said I would have to wait until April 1st to unlock it. So I have a feeling that they really did not look at my accomplishments during my senior year. Or maybe I'm just speculating. Hah.
