<p>[<em>] Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: When I handed in the application I said: “this is me”. Even though it is a small application, I tried to put a piece of me in it so that they would have an idea of who I am. Included passions: music and helping others close to me and far away.
[</em>] Other thoughts: I am very grateful and excited!</p>

<p>“I’m white and applied for aid, what was I thinking?”</p>
<p>haha sry i never replied to this… umm I just meant that a lot of private schools have quotas. like 45% receive aide, and only a certain percentage can be white, and only a certain percentage can be from maryland (which was probably my biggest downfall, cuz a lot of Maryland ppl apply to Georgetown). I was just bitter on being rejected, lol. I’m going to go to Notre Dame, (changed my mind on UMD, thought I wouldn’t get in to ND) and I’m in the top 20% of the accepted people there… which is weird… ND is #20 academically on US New & World Report, Gtown is #23.</p>
<p>anyway congrats to you guys who got in!!!</p>
