Bolded my most likely option for attendance (which is not a bad option at all).
Not really feeling much of a reaction on this one. Not sure I could afford out of state tuition for Cali anyway.

Hi.fl0w wrote:I feel like my cycle could really go in either direction. All this talk about URMs overestimating themselves and getting shut out of the top14 is seriously starting to make me go crazy. My lsn link is in my profile. I know I've applied to reaches, but the app fee was waived so I threw my hat in. But there's gotta be someone in the top14 that will bite, right?
Every day that passes feels like eternity, and my confidence plummets.
Where did you attend for undergrad?

Sigh. That feels like a soft rejection.

Your results are impressive. Imagine being admitted to Chicago, Duke or Columbia and facing the possibility of turning down WashUStL with $38,000 per year.

I'm sort of hoping notre dame pulls through for personal reasons.
If I am realistic with myself, I look at all these waitlists as soft rejections except maybe BU and ND. It just seems like too much of a coincidence that the rest waitlisted me all within basically a week of each other.

As if I didn't see this coming, judging by how my cycle has been going.
5 admits
9 hold/waitlist/reserve (on matured to a ding)
7 striaght dings
Now to decide how many of these waitlists I actually care about

Re: 161 / 3.3 (AA URM): all this waiting is killing me
Washington St. Louis sounds like an amazing offer....it looks like even if you don't make it off any waiting lists you have a great opportunity.
Might I ask why you chose to write a LOCI to Boston U? Did you like that school more than others? Or just want to live in the Boston area rather than NYC or down south in Duke?

Re: 161 / 3.3 (AA URM): all this waiting is killing me
my girlfriend applied to their MBA program and is also on the waitlist. we are trying to keep options open to each other and see if it is possible and reasonable to be in the same place for school next year.eastcoaster18 wrote:Washington St. Louis sounds like an amazing offer....it looks like even if you don't make it off any waiting lists you have a great opportunity.
