<p>xanderman said it better than all of us: “I’ve become convinced that BOSTON is an acronym for Blatantly Oppressing Students Thriving On Notification.”</p>
<p>Knowing this - I thought I would take the honor of starting a thread one week or so before we are notified so it would be ready on that much awaited day. </p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Hey I've been quoted! I feel so honored. Thanks! lol</p>
<p>I'll be sure to post in here if I get in...</p>
<p>..and everyone else should do the same :).</p>
<p>Just reminding everyone to use this thread if you get in on Thursday.</p>
<p>And even if you don't, let us know that, too :). </p>
<p>Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>I think we should do it like they do over in the Ivy forums...there's some special HTML code or some such that they use. It's nice.</p>
<p>Hey here is an html code they are using in the Northwestern forum...</p>
