Because I thought we needed a real one. By the way, have RD decisions come out yet? I was a Buntrock finalist, so I got my decision awhile ago…good luck! I am getting my Duke acceptance today! ;)

[li] going to attend?: dunno. I hear back about Buntrock soon (scholars’ day went well:)) and then I hear back from my top two, Stanford and Duke, soon. It will probably be between S, D, StO, and UW-Madison (I got a full-tuition scholarship there). We will see. I am into Duke University! [/li][/ul]Other Factors:: YES!
