(no subject)
i have not posted in forever... apologies to those wishing to procrastinate. hmm. not much going on, or rather, not much that needs commenting on. just my everyday stuff. ap exams have taken over my life. politics was good, literature mult choice was good, but i'm worried about my essays, and drawing was good (i diverted disaster.... oh so much stresss!) just 2 more to go--micro and macro econ. hopefully they wont slaughter me. finallly finished my apeng research paper- two solid hours of working!
mother's day dinner planned at stonehenge, yummy. took an online quiz; apparently i'm my mother. things could be much worse :)
o! and i got off the brandeis waitlist-- i got a call from the dean of admissions asking if i was still interested, and i just replied with "i'm going to bates college next year". he was very nice about it, and said "oh, thats a great school. good luck!" and it was over. in less than a minute. soooo weird.
under vassar, wesleyan, and haverford (my top three, all of which i didnt really think i had a shot at) i had been lumping bates and brandeis together as the two really excellent schools that i had a shot of getting into. i thought, if anything, i would get into brandeis right off the bat, and get either waitlisted or rejected at bates because its much harder to get into. so i got a slew of rejection/ waitlists... including one from brandeis, which really bummed me out. thought i was going to have to go to one of my safety schools (but then, i did get scholarships, so at least i had consolation prizes haha). and then in a week i got accepted to the last three schools that i hadn't heard from yet: lafayette, a few days later connecticut, and then the next day bates (the final school i heard from). it was really weird turing down a school that i had hoped to get into for so long... right afterwards i started freaking out, hoping i did the right thing... and smacking my head for not saying.. "i'm still interested, but i need time to decide", but bates fits me so much better, and i'm already hopelessly attached (as i'm sure you all know since almost every other sentence i say starts with "At Bates..."
so, final college count (i think...) :
number of schools applied to: 11
rejections: 3 (vassar, wesleyan, haverford)
waitlists: 2 (bucknell, skidmore) ... no comment. grr.
waitlist acceptances: 1 (brandeis)
initial acceptances: 5 (bates, lafayette, connecticut college, muhlenberg, drew)
total acceptances: 6
6/11 isn't too bad... haha
and, yeah, thats all i have to say. my life is pretty boring right now. (this is a relatively good thing i suppose? considering one--or at least i--ussually end up writing about the bad, traumatic things) can't wait to graduate, can't wait for no more school, can't wait for summer, can't wait for bates... yadda yadda yadda... very sleepy.
