<p>Congrats to all the other MSB acceptees...Anyone else waiting on Wharton? I'm kind of clinging to a hope, but who knows. I'm be so happy at G-town that I am not that set on getting into Penn...anyway, my sis went to NHS '05 and said all her MSB friends did maybe one hard saturday of group projects a month and partied the rest of the time =)
