Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted: Georgetown SFS, UMich Ann Arbor, OSU Waiting on: All the Ivies (except Dartmouth), Stanford, Duke, John’s Hopkins, Northwestern
General Comments : Listen ya’ll don’t be afraid to get dirty. By that, I mean be up your admission’s counselor’s butt. Send monthly updates, show you care. It worked for me.
