It's officially college admissions notices month
:woohoo: :scared:

I am supposed to hear from the UC's (Berkeley and LA) on the 26th, from NYU by the end of the month, and Harvard at the end of the month or very beginning of April.

True story.

11. Thin envelopes = no; fat envelopes = yes.
Sometimes thin envelopes mean waitlist. My first envelope from Smith was thin. The second one was fat.

You'll do fine no matter where you go to college. Don't pin too much on it. :hug:

12. i've already gotten two relatively thin envelopes, and both were yes

38. That happened with TM as well. Although the 8x11 envelope
that screamed CONGRATULATIONS was kind of a dead give away.

You'll do great, Ava. :hug:

18. Ava, any school that says "no" to you is nothing but a collection of fools.
Make you best choice and punch your ticket. You deserve every bit of it.

32. Quote: "We're sorry, but you're just not qualified to join the postgrad economics school"
Retort: "you collection of fools!"

Terribly, this was the first thing that popped into my head when you said that anyone to deny Ava entrance was part of the sense-challenged collective.

30. I'm partial to UCLA, since it's my alma mater, but I know
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 03:27 PM by Flaxbee
you'd be thrilled with Harvard. Hey - I bet you'll get into ALL of them, then you'll have a really really really tough choice to make.

Or, maybe not. If you got into all of them, where would you go?


And on edit: be careful about UCs right now, though, esp. if you're getting a scholarship -- my niece signed an athletic scholarship to a cal state school last year and it will be honored, but kids whose sports don't sign until spring (like soccer, for instance) aren't getting the full ride they were initially promised before signing. California is in a world of hurt right now.

35. the UC's are almost as expensive for me as an out of state student as private schools
like NYU and Harvard.. it's crazy! i've applied for financial aid, and Harvard has an awesome program. as an out of state student, my financial aid at harvard(if accepted) would ironically make it the most affordable school for me, lol. :P

31. I would laugh at you plebians not already studying in uni, but I don't do english good so
I don't know what this 'plebians' is, so I'll assume it's a kind of bean.

Hi!

I am now an honours student. This means I have honour! (Also, I have "s")

In any case, good luck on getting into the 'film and art and stuff' degree.

:hi:

39. great choices!
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 06:42 PM by tigereye

my sister went to NYU (loved it, and I used to visit her there in the late 70s, tons of fun) and a buddy went to Berkeley Law School. (I have always envied folks who went there.) What could be cooler than Berkeley!


Harvard sounds good too! Best of luck to you, Ava. What an exciting time for you!
