<p>oh i understand..</p>
<p>my heart is with barnard, but i can't give up chicago. and if i give up chicago, i'll be letting a lot of people down.. that adds extra pressure. i dont know what to do.. i really need some sort of sign and guidance from above..</p>
<p>Silver, you are doing the right thing by weighing all your options. I can, however, assure you that you'll find the right choice. </p>
<p>One thing you could do is imagine which school you would miss the most. From an outsider's view, it seems that Barnard and NYC are your heart's favorite. Set aside prestige and reputation, go with the school that feels right. </p>
<p>PS In this thread, there are interesting comments regarding the Director of Admissions. Yesterday, he was considered insensitive and obnoxious. Today he is sweet and caring. :)</p>
<p>depends on what side of the coin flip they were on xiggi! :p</p>
<p>sweet and caring! (i got a "personal" message too)</p>
<p>xiggi - the Director of Admissions from where? CMC?
Lol.. yeh I thought he was pretty sweet with that "personal" message lol.. it's always nice to see something hand-written.. as this whole process feels so impersonal and at times cold.</p>
<p>hmmm... was the "personal note" really handwritten or just simply printed out?</p>
<p>mine just said "Great job Daniel!"</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it was really handwritten</p>
<p>Mine said "Great job -----!" "Please please please come to our school because we love you so much"....lol jk</p>
<p>Mine was def handwritten cus the C from my name is a bit smudged lol</p>
<p>it says "Christina -- Terrific application! I hope to see you at CMC!" :D that really made me grin widellyyyyyy!!!!!</p>
<p>hmmm... too sweettt :)
CMC sounds awesome!!!!</p>
