Got home today, and a big envelope was waiting. Always in proper premed-mode, I was telling myself that it could still be a rejection, until I saw the magical words "we are pleased" through the envelope window. I had imagined my reaction would involve some screaming and dancing, but I just had a grin on my face for 10 seconds, then greedy thoughts about getting in at my #1 began seeping in. Anyway, Hooooah!!
 
Let me be the second to say....CONGRATULATIONS! 🙂
 
😀 Congratulations Dr Willow18!!!!!! Wohoooo!! Now go celebrate!!!! 😀

On a side note, you opened the letter all the way, right? 😀 GW's stupid waitlist letter started with "We are pleased to inform you..." 👎
 
Congratulations!!! 😀 😀 😀

Dang. That is cold blooded.
 
Thank y'all. Yea, I did open the letter. I still can't believe how nonchalant I am about it.

I second this notion ^^^

Dr. Pardi,

Your avatar cracks me up. :laugh: :laugh:

Willow,

Go out and celebrate the rest of the weekend now. 😀
 
Congratulations from me too!!! I can't imagine how you must feel right now...but do go out and celebrate with your loved ones.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you interview at Drexel....I interviewed there on the 15th of March (I know it's only been like a week), but just wondering when to expect an answer.

Congratulations once again!!!
 
Hmm, I actually planned a relaxing weekend at home. Gonna have to see about celebrating.

Thanks Kitt; I interviewed on Feb. 25th. The letter was dated 3/20.
 
👍 Congratulations! Go party!

don't worry, it'll hit you soon. then you'll scream, jump up and down, and maybe even do a little dance.

earlier this month, i got my first one too and i thought it was an internet scam (email). took me about 30 minutes and a friend saying congratulations too fully comprehend what just happened.

anyway, congrats! you're going to be dr. willow18 in 4+ years!

well, to be fair, the email made it sound like getting in was no big deal and they really wanted me to apply for their scholarship, which i thought was going to require money of some sort. that and the fact that they didn't mention the name of the school until the third paragraph (no school name was included in the ID or the subject line either).

so i was like... ok this has got to be fake.

it was an easy mistake to make, right? right? 😳

Yeah I guess so. Still kinda funny. Congrats to you as well. 😀
 
Pardi...I agree that is the best avatar. Congrats willow! YOU ARE GOING TO BE A DOCTOR!!!! 😀
 
i liiiiike

Congrats! I've wondered what my reaction will be if I get in next year. I'm sure a celebratory dinner will be involved (since I love to eat out 😉 ) but I'm curious to see if there is screaming and jumping up and down involved.

Yes, but it wasn't it a big packet or anything, so my expectations for GWU's letter weren't that high. I think VCU's notice was more gut wrenching:

"Here is the information that you have been anxiously awaiting. While we regret that we are unable to offer you a place in the class immediately, we are pleased to advise you that you have been placed on our alternate list."

...I only had a minor heart attack. 😱

edit: Oh yes, and congrats to Willow. 😳
 
Congrats....job well done, obviously!
