<p>i’m so sorry to hear that…i’m sure it was no real reflection on you. I think we’re all pretty ambitious and amazing for even trying and getting as far as we (you) did. If you don’t mind my asking…how harsh was the letter? Though I am happy about my whole experience regarding CT and Yale, I do not expect my chances to be any better. I found out that last year they accepted three individuals only…this is according to another Eli Whitney student that was accepted in '08. Those were our chances from the beginning. SO, NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN. Columbia will be a great experience -i’m sure. I used to live in NYC and miss it every now and again. BEST WISHES TO ALL. I don’t know if you live there now, but if you’re ever in need of advice about NYC , let me know. I know lots of great places to eat, go, chill, etc.</p>
