Here's an article on waitlist in this week's Time magazine. Nothing new but interesting read.

Good luck, everyone. Especially you, trackie10x; from what I've read in this thread, you absolutely deserve it.

yup march 31st except worse. because you know it could be coming any minute, but it might not come for a long time. no news is bad news.

Well, my Barnard admissions counselor has received all my supplementary materials; my history teacher agreed to email my schools on my behalf since he lost his voice and can't call and lobby for me; and my ego's been deflated since a friend of mine told me that my letter of interest was "a bit much... perhaps [i] overdid it."

And now... I wait. Good luck to everyone (except if you're trying for Barnard or Emory-- in that case, back off)!

bartlet, i withdrew my emory application just for you


and even if the letter was overdone, it's okay. you'll be fine.

but it wasn't overdone. at least i didn't think so.

thanks, trackie, for the compliment and for withdrawing! i hope it was just my friend being her usual unpleasant self when she critiqued my letter... i worked my butt off on that thing, as sad as it is. i know of two others from my high school and a girl in the area who turned down emory, so i'm crossing my fingers. barnard's still my number one, sorry to say.
