You know what's crazy. . .two years out of high school I hardly remembered any of my stats. I had to look up the SAT scores on collegeboard because I honestly couldn't remember.

I guess I'll provide a little hope:


Accepted - Tulane University (Currently Attending), Wake Forest University
Waitlisted --> Accepted - Georgetown University
Waitlisted --> Rejected - Davidson College (w/athletic recruitment, those ****ers)
Rejected - UNC-Chapel Hill


SATI: 690V, 630M
SATII: Writing - 770, History - 680, Math IC - 640

GPA: 3.4ish/4.0 uw
Rank: 41 out of 277

Bunch of ECs (three varsity sports; recruited athlete), great essays, amazing interview with the Georgetown dude that I think probably got me accepted after the initial waitlist (I'm a broadcast/communication major, so I've always been good at talking to people [I still keep in touch with him every now and then, too]).

Ended up going to Brown University in fall 2005 and getting a 3.5 there. Went to Tulane and got a 2.33. Go figure, eh?
