Accepted to: University of San Francisco
Waitlisted at : UCSD
Rejected at : Wharton, NYU Stern, UCLA

Waiting to hear back from a boatload more of colleges.

General Comments: Pretty stoked and extremely grateful to have received this acceptance. Boston University Admissions are one of the few that actually were frank and direct with me when I met them at my school/my city. They were clear and concise of what they expect. No wishy washy language. My local representative was a really nice guy, so thank you BU!
