| foo182: What additional stuff did you send in from the time you were waitlisted until now? Did they happen to give you any idea of how many people they were planning on taking off this year? | |

| Congratulations foo182.
By the way, I noticed you're international, you don't happen to be from Moldova, do you? | |

| Thanks everybody!!! I am soooo out of myself with happiness hehehe
Yeah, it really is kind of a weird tradition  )) But cool at the same time
GleasSpty, I've sent a report about competitions in physics and biology, some new activities, an abstract of a research paper, one recommendation from a teacher, one recommendation from a family friend which is currently on phD in physics in CA and some comic i've drawn for them hehehe... Not much I guess, but it's good to show interest in any way that you can, right?
cake? suuure, i'll make you one if i enroll at caltech!! i make some brilliant cakes
nope, not from moldova, serbia here
i hope to see you all soon in pasadena! yey! | |

| Well nothing special pi3141, just mentioned that i started taking french classes again.. i think it's not really that much about what you send in (unless, you ****ed up your grades, that's a problem), but more in the level of interest that you show, yet you shouldn't be to pesky!
"Yaaaay! Welcome to no sleep, hard work, nerdiness, but GREAT FUN and EXCITEMENT, and the time of your life!!!"
hahah sdkdol.. feck, it sounds like my highschool! except for the no sleep part, we do that in classes (better 8 hours in school, than no sleep at all, right? ) | |
