[ *]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:

you must go on an interview! I think that really gave me a leg up!
Smith is my first choice school and I was ecstatic when I got accepted. I just need to look over the fin. aid to determine whether I will be attending or not.

I was also accepted to Mount Holyoke with a free plane ticket to visit. I like Smith better but it seems like Mount Holyoke will give me a better financial aid package.
