<p>I am Nick Zhao from Gig Harbor High School in Gig Harbor, Washington. I wonder how many of you got accepted to Chicago are actually from Washington. I think, may be if you live close enough may be we can have a celebration party or anything like that. Anyway, I would like to know more about your guys/ladies. Feel free to email me at: <a href="mailto:nckzhao@yahoo.com">nckzhao@yahoo.com</a></p>
<p>Nick, not to discourage an independent party, but every year the U of C Puget Sound Alumni Association has a send-off bar-b-que for area first year students (veterans are invited as well). Watch your email this summer or check the class of 2010 web page which should be up soon for more info. There are quite a few Washington students at Chicago.</p>
