The spaces between every [ ] in the code. There should be no spaces otherwise the code won't work.

Descartesz, will you be crunching data again after the regular decision round? Your earlier analysis was great.

It should be no later than 7, and probably earlier than that. At 7 all EA admits and RD admits bond together over Bulldog Chat on the admitted students page.

copy/pasted from brown thread, sorry for the discrepancies. Decision: Rejected Objective:- SAT I (by section): 730 800 800 (CR/M/W)
- SAT IIs: 770 760 (US History/French)
- GPA: 3.89 UW
- ACT:
- APs: US History (5), English Lang (5), French Lang (4), will take English Lit, Calc AB, Physics B, and Microecon in May
- IBs:
- Senior Year Course Load:
- Rank: school doesn't release rank, but I know I'm in the top 5%
- Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.):
Subjective:- ECs listed on app: President of Gay-Straight Alliance, Co-chair of City Youth Commission, produced a radio show, academic team, NHS, jazz band
- Job/Work Experience: worked at a cafe last summer
- Essays (subject and responses): common app was about finger painting. brown one was about a collection of anarchist zines I read. I liked them.
- Teacher Recs: APUSH teacher, math teacher. only saw one and it was good. I also had a recommendation from a Brown grad student from a Summer@Brown course I took that was glowing.
- Counselor Rec: she likes me and knows me pretty well.
- Hook (if any, such as RSI or URM): brother attended.
- Interview: OK, not great.
Location/Person:- Applied for Financial Aid?: yes
- Intended Major: political science
- State or Country: Mass

Reflection[ list][*] Strengths: I thought my ECs were somewhat interesting. I liked my essay but didn't know whether they would. [*] Weaknesses: CR score, GPA, lack of science APs, not much community service.[*] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: insane amount of applicants, nothing else. I just don't think I stood out in a crowd of 29,000 or whatever.[*] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I was waitlisted at Swarthmore, Bowdoin, and Brown (top choice) and plan on going to Wesleyan. also got into Bard, Reed, Brandeis (full tuition scholarship), Vassar, and Oberlin (partial tuition scholarship.[/list] General Comments: not expecting to be accepted at all, I probably wouldn't have applied if my parents hadn't wanted me to because I knew I couldn't get in. congrats to those who were accepted, and those who weren't, I'm sure you'll be happy wherever you end up.

Waitlisted at Yale. I feel both fortunate and dissapointed, because I was so close...
