    ---------------------------------------------

    So after my SECOND TIME applying theres a few things I've learned.

    1. apply early / dont be a dumbass and apply late with high stats and think u can get in!
    2. there are only a certain amount of things you can control. those are you applications, your dress, your performance in an interview, your demenaor....then there are things you can not control - your interviewer, whether or not you are recieved well. so in short, don't sweat the small stuff. if it was meant to be it will probably happen and if it wasn't then...theres nothing you can really do.

    I've always wanted to live in New york city so I am realy excited taht I get the oppurtunity at a really great school. One thing when looking at a school is keep in mind P/F. that Is really important in happiness and other crap.

    well...cheers!
