<p>^ that sucks. That's what would have happened to me (with Tulane honors) if BM's FA hadn't been as good. I don't know what to tell you, since I didn't even know how I was going to get myself out of that situation. Good luck and maybe your parents will change their minds.</p>
<p>Thanks for the comfort. I am still waiting for some other schools. Well, if i get into an ivy, they would pay... I didn't apply for financial aid because my dad doesn't think that we can get any. anyway, i gonna see what happens next week.</p>
<p>@HopefulRae, so do you! </p>
<p>Also, I should have been more clear: I already got into Colgate. Thanks though <3.</p>
<p>HOORAY! I GOT IN! :) </p>
<p>Unfortunately, I only got a $6100 grant, so along with a bunch of other loans/work study my FA is only $13000 something. :( MHC and Smith came up way better for me. I guess I'll just have to see. </p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in!! I'm so happy for your acceptances and your awesome financial aid!!! :)</p>
<p>I'm a mom - I cried.</p>
<p>I'm Waitlisted... I'm actually really happy about this because BMC was one of my reach schools and I was expecting a lot worse... so it seems that fortune has smiled upon me. </p>
<p>Congrats to all who got in. Maybe in mid-may I will be joining you success. Who knows what could happen? </p>
<p><em>Hugs to those that didn't... I know the feeling. But things happen for a reason, right? The perfect school is out there for you, I promise!</em></p>
<p>Now that things have calmed down…</p>
<p>I have an acceptance story to beat all acceptance stories:</p>
<p>5 minutes to 1pm (I’m in CA) my mom and I hear all these sirens going by our house. We ran to our big front window and looked out to see about 20 police cars on our street and the street that intersects ours. More cop cars are showing up every minute and the police are jumping out of their cars and leaving them running in the middle of our street (which is really busy because I live just off a freeway exit). They run up to the houses across the street and into the back yard. More and more cops are showing up every second. Helicopters show up and 2 ambulances and a fire truck just as it’s 1pm so amidst the blaring sirens, I ran to see if I was accepted. At the same time my mom was on the phone with my dad, who was at work, telling him what was happening across the street. I check my account and start screaming, “I GOT IN! I GOT IN! I GOT IN TO BRYN MAWR!!!”</p>
<p>My dad through the phone hears me screaming hysterically: “They’re coming in! They’re coming in the front door!”</p>
<p>At which point he thinks our house is being infiltrated by whoever the cops were chasing, and nearly has a heart attack. </p>
<p>So anyway we’re not sure what happened. There was a car that had driven up the embankment on the street that intersects our and I guess the guys in it tried to run. They took away a body…I don’t know if it was from crashing the car or if he was shot…and they caught the other guy up by my house and took him away in an ambulance. It was intense. </p>
<p>What a day.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all you BMC acceptees and big hugs to those who will have other great places to be. My goodness, inasummertown, you do have an acceptance story to beat them all! </p>
<p>Shelley, my D is a Freshman at BMC. I cried too, but only after she chose it over a bunch of other schools and we realized she would be on the other side of the country. ;) It has been a fantastic year for her. I can not recommend it highly enough.</p>
<p>I watched my video like 5 times. I definately almost cried.</p>
<p>The vid was SO cute. I loved how personalized it was.</p>
<p>The video was so awesome :)</p>
<p>Do you know if we have to register to do the chat?</p>
<p>I like the video too although they totally butchered my name lol. I love the spirit behind it. Its going to be a hard time to deliberate. So far i am in at Bryn Mawr, Haverford,Sarah Lawrence, Mt Holyoke and Swarthmore. If i dont get into the ivies (which i am not expecting too) than its gonna be really hard to chose!</p>
<p>haha, now that I think back that email about my verification being filled out wrong, was definetly a CLEAR indicator :)</p>
