<p>yeah…since so many ppl had applied to IUB this year…it’s no wonder that so many are being taken in…</p>
<p>so as far as i know…2 from bnks and 5 from xaveirs got into Jacobs???..correct me if i am wrong…</p>
<p>Now it’s 2 frm bnks and 6 frm stxc in total</p>
<p>actually i have been told that 4 people from bnks got in in round ii. shail619 you can confirm this with the guy who you know has been accepted in round ii. he told me about this.</p>
<p>congrats aritct, being admitted in early write is something really great…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Trust me when I say this, but I was the most surprised of all…
(especially since Richmond was practically my second fav…)</p>
<p>congrats aritct…which one was your favourite then?? i presume colgate…wasn’t it??</p>
<p>davincicodes…‘the person’ told me that it is infact 5 from bnks…that’s pretty cool news</p>
<p>shail619 do u mean in total or in round ii alone!! but most of them wont attend iub so many have a shot in round iii i guess.</p>
<p>aritct, can you post your stats?? everyone wants to know the stats of those who get admitted!! i am no exception!</p>
<p>@ shail619 – in ED it was Colgate (suprisingly these days I realize that Colgate wasn’t really my “ideal” college. I guess I applied ED only to increase my chances of receiving financial aid.It was a big mistake, especially with a 2120 SAT and no SAT 2 scores.)</p>
<p>In RD…its YOUR ED COLLEGE!!!</p>

Let’s hope all goes well for everyone in the RD round.

<p>@ shail – my decision was an RD decision…the rest should be heard by the first week April</p>
