Congratulations to those got in…good luck to others in RD round (including myself…:)</p>
<p>Congrats to everybody who received their acceptances today. I’m so proud of ya’ll!!</p>
<p>OMZ- I’m so sorry you were deferred but I am sure that you will be an excellent applicant to Wellesley.</p>
<p>MY BEST FRIEND GOT HIS ACCEPTANCE LETTER TODAY! It was so exciting, his mom called right after his first final and told him he had a big envelope at home, but she didn’t want to open it. So this guy starts yelling “HE GOT IN HE GOT IN!” (because of the big envelope) because basically everybody in our entire school has been bugging him about it. And he was so worried that he would go home and it would be some giant deferral letter…but he left class and when he came back he was all smiley and dressed in orange/black. </p>
<p>So yay for him, I could do his stats but that would probably be really unnecessary.</p>
<p>my condolences OMZ and all other defers
Congratulations acceptances</p>
