[ b]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:[ /b] Congrats to everyone. I sincerely hoped my essay would outweigh my terrible ACT score, I guess my numbers weren't enough. Still, the Adcom did have to pick 660 students out of 7,800 - so it must have been difficult. It just hurts when your dream school rejects you - should have ED'd. HAVE FUN GUYS!
