In @ NYU this afternoon. One of my top choices. Hopefully I can swing a scholly from them (applied for AnBryce). Would be a cycle ender.

Just applied to two crazy reaches Harvard and Cornell(hidden fee waiver :D) . Decided not to go for Berkeley(still have a few hours is it worth it with the short statement?) as I couldn't get the longer statement ready and I didn't think I would enjoy the other schools that closed today

If you'd like to go to Berkeley, then yes it is. I used the same two page statement for Berkeley that I used for all of the other schools and I was accepted. Good Luck!

Sleeping late because I have late classes today, got woken up by a call from Stanford
Not a bad way to wake up...

Applied:
Georgetown
Harvard
Yale
UChicago
Berkeley
NYU
Columbia
Michigan
UPenn

Rejected:
Harvard

Held:
Georgetown

Accepted:
Berkeley
UChicago
Michigan
Yale

Please know that I will not share LSAT and GPA for several reasons (not all of which I will list). Most importantly, my GPA and LSAT will not let other individuals know about their "chances" of admission to the schools that admitted me. Secondly, I applied very early to all of the schools (except UPenn). I believe that applying early gave my application more of an edge.
