<p>Just called the hotel admissions office to confirm that Cornell is still my absolute first choice, and the lady told me that they have already made the final decisions... including who to accept from the wait list. I'm not sure whether this applies to the other colleges as well, but aren't they a little too efficient?! </p>
<p>And to think I just spent the last 72 hours slaving over the "take me!" letter. :o</p>
<p>Leigh,</p>
<p>Sorry to hear the bad news... Hotel is so small that it is pretty easy for them to quickly fill their class... also the have a very high yield... becuase they are #1, virtually every student accepted takes the offer...</p>
<p>If you were a female Engineer, it would be a very different story...</p>
<p>As I said previously, do not despair, with you're sunny personality, you will be successful at whatever you pursue...</p>

<p>Thanks, wharf. It felt good writing the letter though... served as a closure and now I think I'm ready for a new university experience.</p>
