Rick Shaw's personal comments...

Hi. Did Rick Shaw write a personal comment on anyone else's letter (from him)? He wrote "Please come!" at the end of it...

My sister got that letter, and she's trying to choose between Stanford and Princeton.

D's said they were impressed by how many leadership positions she'd acquired in such a short time at the school.

She's still undecided between Harvard and Stanford.

Harvard and Stanford? That's a really tough choice. What does she want to do.

My sis thinks that she wants to get an MBA in grad school and she wants to do finance/psychology or maybe pre-law as an undergrad. She's all over the place...

Haha. That's cool. Rick Shaw doesn't have the best handwriting, so it took me a while to make out what he wrote when I was reading her letter...

I didnt get a personal comment either...and i find it hard to understand why anyone should(regardless of how good his/her essays apparently were).

Just a thought, though. :P
