I got in!

Congratulations!!! Fantastic news!

Fabulous news, I am so happy for you. Congratulations and best wishes.

Way to go :smiley:

That’s fantastic! Congratulations! I wish you all the best!

Congrats! What other schools have you applied to, if any?

Cornell, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and Rensselaer.

I heard from Rensselaer today (accepted), but nothing yet from the other three.

I plan to withdraw my application from them, since my guidance counselor tells me that might open up spaces for other people applying from my high school (assuming I was accepted, of course). It’d be nice to find out if I got into Princeton and Cornell, but I’ll live.

Congratulations!

Damn, that’s sweet!

Congrats, Mister V. Remember to check in once in a while and keep us in the loop while pursuing higher edumacation.

Now, repeat after me:

I pahked my cah near the bah…

No Caltech? I thought all techies applied to both Caltech and MIT…

Congrats! I so totally can relate - shortly before I ended up hearing back (accepted) from one of my two top choice schools (still torn, btw), I was having nightmares. I’d go out to the mailbox, and it was filled (we have a HUGE box), completely filled. Every single square inch was packed with…rejection letters from that school.

[bragging]Luckily, I’ve been accepted to all but 2 of my schools. One rejection was from Oxford, and the other from a college just voted “Number one” or “most beautiful” or something in Outdoors magazine. :smiley: [/bragging]

Has anyone on the SDMB attended Oxford?

I don’t want to go to California: I have a well-paying job here in Connecticut that would be hard to do from across the country. Plus, it’d be a real PITA to get my car there and back each year.

Also, Caltech is too small a school for my taste: last year’s class was only a little larger than the senior class at my high school.

I’m going to study at Oxford this summer :smiley:

Not that it really counts, being a summer program and all

Congrats, **Mister V[b/]!

Argh argh argh tears out hair That wasn’t supposed to happen! :mad:

Congrats. And if you’re anything like me, you should be calming down from the happy high sometime tomorrow afternoon :wink:
