welcome!
are you a currently a high school senior? ("so as I've recently known that I can't be '2011.")
Did you come too late to the conclusion that you wanna study in the USA (like me

) or weren't you lucky at your first try?
Have you already an idea where to apply? What's your intended field of study? (engineering? arts? ...?)
Welcome again, and good luck during the next few months!! I have the feeling that everyone on this thread (especially swift) will be extremely happy when the time for decisions comes - Class of 2012 simply rocks!
