Lets help out next years hopefuls. Whenever *official* decisions come in (the actual acceptance letter is in your hands, not an invite) post for this year and next year's applicants to look through.

Copy and paste the following into the reply. Then fill in the answers. First decision, then SAT scores, etc.
Remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work...

lets make it a little more easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word "Red" is right now in the first line.
