9/20/2006 Finally submitted my last MD secondary. Let the waiting begin.
10/6/2006 First 'official' post-secondary rejection (University of SD did not accept me as a 'strong ties' candidate...therefore not directly based on my merit). Urgh. Why do I feel like UChicago did not even read the 8000+ characters of essays they requested on their beast of a secondary? Grrrr.
