Just to let everyone here know: two days ago, Dr. Arias called to offer me an acceptance off the waitlist. It was a terribly difficult decision, but I ended up declining their acceptance offer in favor of my state school--they'd offered me a spot off their own waitlist about six weeks ago. It was heartbreaking, because I've loved Keck for years, but I couldn't justify moving away from my family and friends here at home last minute, plus an extra $100,000 in debt. The good news is that there is still one spot available! I certainly hope it goes to one of you! 🙂
