Maybe I should put it in my next LOCI.

Congrats to all.

I hope this isn't the final wave of acceptances we'll see.

I'm sure it's not. They want a (financial) commitment by next Friday, so I'd imagine some more will go out the week of the 15th.

Not sure if you're ok sharing this, but how big of a financial commitment are they asking for? Is it in the realm of a deposit, or something more?

Do we know if they sent out just one big batch around 12:30 or are these emails "rolling in?" No need to keep my hopes up if the ruckus is already over and done with...

Lakeview is extremely close, reasonably priced, and pretty fun.

gilchristh,

Am I correctly interpreting your convo with 69sofine to mean you're going to Gtown? Congrats either way; both are awesome schools.

Pyros, if you elect to hold off another year, have you looked into deferring?

Congrats on both Cornell and NU.

Don't think that's an option at NU since i got in off the waitlist.
Cornell reserve is not a waitlist so that's an option I guess.

That's nice of them. At least they acknowledge our obsession.

I have yet to have a bad experience with the folks at the NU admissions office during the entire process. They even tolerate some of my inane questions. :)

Yep-- I really loved it there, love the curriculum options, and love DC. Very flattered to get the NU news, but it's not changing my mind. I'll send in my withdraw letter tomorrow to hopefully free up a spot for one of you!
