Dream come true! Matriculating here! It was awesome meeting some of you at second look, see you all in the fall.

 

[DHCopeland]

Withdrew. Good luck everyone!

Sad to see you go..

I am DYING over this decision. I thought another school had me reeled in and then I went to second look here and loved every second. But it's SO much more $$$$$ for me to go here, I really wish I could negotiate a little but from the sound of it they don't do that. Has anybody tried?

Sigh.... I'm so lucky to be in this position but at the same time it's TEARING ME APART!!

Wow that's a tough one!! Which other school are you considering?

You're a smart person. I know you will make the choice that is best for you.

Also just got in off the waitlist. My heart is elsewhere though--I'll be passing the spot on to somebody else!

 

[DocG]

Also just accepted from the alternate list! Trying to decide amongst California schools. It looks like my decision is going to be tougher than I thought!

 

[shnechniak]

Also accepted!!!!! I can't believe it!!

 

[lcck]

Didn't get anything. I sure hope there are multiple waves of WL movement.

 

[salts]

Accepted off waitlist! I'm so happy! I'll definitely be going here.

 

[somethingdeep]

Almost certainly, since not everyone is going to accept the offer from the waitlist.

 

[MrsCharaniya]

My status hasn't changed though...has anyone had a change in status?

 

[The Beyonder]

Congrats to all the new acceptees

Withdrew my acceptance. It was a tough call, but it feels good knowing the decision will allow another's dreams to come true. Good luck guys!

 

[ashonemagi]

For those who've gotten of the waitlists, do they give you two weeks notice to reply back?Also, when did you guys interview?

I've just realized that summer is here and orientation for most schools is in less than 2 months...

 

[OptimisticGirl]

So what's the chance of getting an acceptance for us waited folks at this point?

I'm not holding my breath. It seems like we've already missed the first big wave and acceptances have been trickling out as people turned them down.

Hi all - I know this is ancient history for you at this point, but I am applying in the 2014 cycle and wondering if one of you would mind posting the secondary prompt for the PRIME program. I searched many pages of the thread but couldn't find it - very sorry if someone did post it already. Thank you kindly for your time.
