I only knew accept for Cornell b/c they sent me a likely letter. Goobers. If not for that a couple weeks before the decision, I would've put down reject.
Two surprises there.

Obviously I went into admissions not sure about my results. I thought I could get into the ????, but that it wouldn't be surprising if i didn't. Thought I had a shot. There were some real surprises.
