<p>Oh well, I got a letter from the "Duke Difference" saying "by virtue of your qualificants, you are attractive to other distinguished colleges and universities"</p>
<p>ha, if only it were true. </p>
<p>Well, I was expecting it so it wasnt a surprise for me.</p>
<p>awww sempi!!!!! duke is still a great choice tho</p>
<p>Hi Sempitern,</p>
<p>I'm so sorry to hear about your Princeton rejection. I have to tell you that, as an adult, I have enjoyed reading all of your high-spirited posts and your insights into the college process. As a Cornell alum, I am curious as to your outcome with Cornell admissions. </p>
<p>Sempitern, any school you attend will be enriched by your interesting and thought provoking insights. Best of luck to you. </p>
<p>Tahoe</p>
<p>PS. What does Sempitern mean?</p>
<p>Sempitern is a sort of leadership council from some book I read I forget the name</p>
<p>and yes, my cornell decision surprised me, espescially because I read somewhere that 2 years ago 31 out of 36 males who applied to HE got accepted</p>
<p>oh well, que sera sera. I have gotten over the decisions.</p>
<p>I dont think I'm going to appeal the waitlist from any colleges I got waitlisted at</p>
<p>Duke is a great college. The only high schooler in a school near mine that made a 1600 went to Duke on a full scholarship. I don't think anyone else made a 1600 ever in that school. So congrats man :)</p>
<p>:( :( :( :(</p>
<p>THIS JUST SUCKS :(</p>
<p>EDIT 1(why aren't they letting me post in caps?)</p>
<p>EDIT 2(Oh they are)</p>
<p>semp i'm super sad about this really. who will be my starbucks buddy?</p>
<p>is there a starbucks on campus? im definitely an addict....</p>
<p>yes there is, yum yum. i start to have withdrawl symptoms w/o it</p>
<p>haha. i already asked about this, shrek. very important to me (i wrote for the newspaper a nice little funny little piece on an addiciton to starbucks... :)). Anyway, I haven't been to campus yet (waiting to get in before spending money to go there) but apparently there is a starbucks right across the street, on nassau... somewhere closeby. so, yes.</p>
