<p>Dude I remember sending my application out. It was the only one I sent by mail. It was Dec 31st and all the post offices in philly and the suburbs were closed except one in center city. The line was gigantic and I stood in line for over an hour to mail my application out. The whole time I was thinking why am I wasting my time, there's no way I'm getting into my dream school--but a girl's gotta dream right (actually I'm a guy but saying a girl's gotta dream sounds so much better)? And now I got in, and I feeling pretty confident that I'll be a purple cow next year. Hallelujah!</p>
<p>Impressive. Congratulations frenchfootballer!</p>
