[li] Schools you are waiting for? Tufts (top choice), Brown [/li][/ul]General Comments: I was shocked and pretty crestfallen at first because it made me doubt my chances at other schools, but I’m pretty much over it now. It was the largest school I applied to and I think I’d be happier at a LAC anyway. Go Bruins though!! Such a strong, beautiful school.
