Yes I've read that. I failed to temper my expectations.
Just wanted to make sure your emotions were correctly directed. understanding of the frustration, though

It's basically the best tool we have. Frustration is acceptable, imo.

Don't get me wrong, I'm upset with UCLA, too. Especially since it was my UG. I thought we had something special!

Looks like some people went back to ready for review the same day they got the call. I doubt we'll be getting calls today considering how late it is on the east.

Congrats!

I feel like I sounded so dumb on the phone, but I'm sure she's used to that dumbfounded response though.

If someone cried with joy at getting good news from me, I would feel pretty damn good I have to say, definitely not confused. I'd even put a little star next to that person's name and maybe give them a little more scholarship juice when the time comes around. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of.

So 43% of these kids took on over 250k of debt. Dear god.. I guess the rich kids part must be true, or that many people are just royally screwed
