<p>@EdwinTubble‌ Lololol</p>

<p>Anyway, to everyone waiting on decisions: Best of luck to all of you! And to those of you that don’t get the news you’re hoping for, don’t let it get you down. When you’re dealing with acceptance rates that are less than 10% (it was ~9.56% this year), many qualified students are turned away purely because of a lack of space and other resources. It’s important to remember that whether you’re accepted or rejected (or placed on the alternate list, for that matter), you’re going to be the same person that you were before you got the decision.</p>

<p>Again, best of luck to all of you. :)</p>

<p>@Nobody426 Wow, that was great. How long did it take you to come up with that? I am quite jealous since I suck at poetry lol. </p>

423

<p>@raf1940 How do you know it was 9.56%?</p>

424

<p>@Nobody426 You’re perfect. We both need to get in so I can become your best friend. </p>

425

<p>@aops100‌ In the alumni newsletter they told us the number of applicants. And I think that we all know the number of spots. :)</p>

426

<p>@fairyfantasy‌ Haha I picked up the habit of writing random stuff (primarily fanfics lol) a few years back when I just came here to the States trying to get better at written English. Now I write drabbles or poetries to send to some regional literary contest for some extra scholarship money and trying to get published. </p>

<p>@emywemy610‌ Ahhh I’m so flattered. <3 Yeah, no matter what, we should all keep in contact after this madness!</p>

427

<p>@Nobody426‌ Didn’t know fanfics can help you in that way until today :smiley: guess I could have written some myself instead of just reading them.</p>

428

<p>@Nobody426 @QQwang2015 Same, same. I wanted to write fanfics before but was always too lazy to do it. By the way, what fanfics did you write? </p>

429

<p>@QQwang2015‌ @fairyfantasy‌ Ahahaha I go by the same name on fanfiction.net if you’re interested. :slight_smile: I write for a few different fandoms, and I still update once a week because I couldn’t let it go. I’m actually more focused on individual work now more than ever, since I have a few manual scripts sitting there gathering dust as I procrastinate to actually edit them. </p>
