How long before people received a confirmation email for the March ASW? I don't want to book a hotel until I hear back...

It's the Le Meridien Cambridge and is about a 10 minute walk from the Central Square T-stop. It's definitely nearer to MIT, but it doesn't look to hard to get to HLS.

Sup. 8) Any recent JS2s trying to make the March ASW or just going to go to April? JS seemed to hint that she'd rather I go to April, buttttt...

Haha, true. She didn't even mention the March ASW when she said she hoped that I would visit, only April. I might just take the train up over spring break anyway and take a cursory look around. But April ASW sounds a lot warmer, that's for sure. :)

Yeah, JS only mentioned April to me, but I'm planning on visiting my mom and brother end of March, so I'll be visiting on my own.

I envy your ability to just casually take a train to visit...

That's the one thing the east coast has going for it--every major city is just a train ride away! Except then something like Nemo comes along and all hell breaks loose.

Congrats to all the new admits! I'm with WF on the ASW question. They want us, they have to put up with our shit.

I'm going in March so I have an honest look at late winter/early spring. I really hate cold weather so I feel like if I go in April it'll be beautiful and I'll be like "Boston weather is NBD," when it's probably a VBD.

You mean to tell me you would turn down H if the weather isn't to your liking? :lol: As it is right now, only Y or a full (or north of $100k) scholly from NYU/Columbia could sway me.

Ditto. Torn between H and the Hamilton. (But those were my two top choices, so I'm definitely not complaining.)

+2! You're deciding between, H, S, and the Ruby, right? Culturally and geographically, those schools sound really different. That must be an interesting choice.

I'm deciding between similar choices (H, Y, and the Hamilton)--totally undecided right now, but also not complaining! Hopefully, I will have more of a gut feeling to guide me after the ASWs.

My weather.com page is permanently Palo Alto vs. Cambridge. It's pretty convincing...

I know there's tons of cultural differences between HS, and I'm sure I'll get a better idea of them at the ASWs, but they're both so amazing that I think at this point QoL is a reasonable criterion, and weather is a huge part of QoL for me (I definitely have SAD).

Well if Stanford is the alternative, then it's certainly a reasonable criterion. Carry on then.

Your schools are in a tiny little triangle, while vzapana's span the length of the country. Don't know why I felt it necessary to point that out.

I'm also feeling quite a few doubts about Harvard. That may change when I visit the school next weekend.
