*Unofficial* Class of '15 Decisions

Student Lounge International Students
1

<p>This thread is just to post decisions as they come in. So 'stats' need to be posted, just a very simple thread that is for results, discussion, comments, etc. as we get results. I know that a few people have applied to non-Ivys as well, including some state schools, so as those decisions come in earlier feel free to post! Also, I think ED decisions come out soon, so feel free to post those.</p>

<p>Once again, this is just a really informal thread. Feel free to discuss, etc. We'll make a really formal decisions thread at the end of the application cycle when we have all our decisions in. For now, we have this!</p>

General Comments:</p>

<p>The one I made earlier had waitlisted instead of deferred, so I fixed that.</p>

15

<p>^I guess the people that have ED decisions can use that format but this was meant to do an informal thread. At the end of the cycle we can make an Official Class of '15 thread and post everything in very specific templates. Up to you guys though.</p>

16

<p>I copied this from the other results thread, the format has been lost but I’m too lazy to fix that! Also, THANKS everyone for the CONGRATS! It still hasn’t really sunk in yet and we need to have a CC Canada Chat soon! Congrats to Viggy on MSU and good luck to everyone else!!</p>
