first post.
Just want to pass along my story for those of you still holding out hope. Rejected both pre- and post-interview from 11 schools, some good, some great, some terrible. Waitlisted at Columbia, Albert Einstein, and SUNY Stony Brook.
I sent multiple letters expressing my desire to attend each school and relevant personal information updates that would poisitivley reflecton on my application. I sne t these letter once every three weeks, and full of substnatial acheivements not blather...what can I say, I've had a proactive winter/spring/summer. Anyway, May 16th rolls around, and still nothing. Bastards!
So I figure I'll write a postcard to each school, just to say hey, I'm still into you, no worries. I drop 'em in the box that night, the next morning Dean Kerrigan emails me to say I'm accepted and the official letter is in the mail! (okay, so it was three inadvertantly sent emails that all said the same thing, but they get the point across. in any eveny, it was the best email I've EVER received. So I'm loooking forward to seeing many of you in the Boogie Down come August. Goog luck to everyone else
Guess I'll scoot on over to the accepted thread. Hang in there everyone. Keep hope alive.
