<p>congrats!
was it purple fruit juice?</p>

24

<p>NU, not NW…grr</p>

25

<p>It was sort of purple-ish actually. My NU application really was a disaster, but I guess it turned out okay. My counselor and I were trying to decide whether it’d be worse to send the spilled-on original or a copy of it, and just decided to hell with it. Haha. The other horrible thing is they changed my NU application ID in mid-stream, so there was a large amount of white-out on it. Oh well.</p>

26

<p>You’re not international, are you? You said Chicago – did you find out online?</p>

<p>I guess the purple-ish is only fitting. Maybe they took the purple stain + white white out as a tribute to the school. It could only help…</p>

27

<p>My bro interviews, so they have access to these decisions well in advance. Of course, he didn’t bother to tell me until today.</p>
