So. I've basically heard back from everyone, and...

I got into Johns Hopkins and McGill (and got wait-listed at Brandeis and William and Mary)!!

Just felt like I needed yet another place to toot my horn *toots*

I'm going to WPI next year, but I was looking at a couple of schools on your list InkLOsed

Don't get your hopes up, dude.

Trust me. I had my hopes set on a particular Ivy, but got rejected. And the school I ended up going to was a MUCH better match for me. We can talk more in private, if you'd like. PM me.

Well I have my fingers crossed. What school did you look at?

pimpdave · Post by **pimpdave** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:07 pm

It's best to keep these things private. There is a lot of anti-Ivy league sentiment out there. People tend to resent Ivy Leaguers, thinking they're "elitists".

Japs · Post by **Japs** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:09 pm

Ive noticed that, really at my current school.

Martin Ronne · Post by **Martin Ronne** » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:48 pm

I've got no problem with the Ivy Leagues.

Monumental congratulations on the acceptances to McGill and Johns Hopkins, ink. They are both in AWESOME AWESOME cities (some of my favorites in all of North America) and will get you the sort of education that will make you a shoe-in for PhDs.

Which are you leaning towards?

Hey meggy - been a while!

Right now I'm feeling really enthusiastic about Johns Hopkins. They've already sent their financial package, and we'd be paying half of the total $55,000 for tuition a year, which we can afford, so that isn't an issue. So unless I have a change of heart it's looking like I'll be going to Hopkins.

I didn't know you had to study to be a veteran, I thought you just needed to fight in a war.
