Rejected from Yale SOM

The title says it all!  I've been rejected from Yale but it's quite alright...  trust me.. IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT! I imagine my level of concern for this point now was reflected in my application...hence the reason for the rejection.  Oh well - Everything's Still Swell!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch - I received my official letter of acceptance from the Johnson School at Cornell.

"Congratulations! On behalf of Dean L. Joseph Thomas and the faculty, we are delighted to offer you admission to the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. We value the qualities you displayed during the application process and consider you an outstanding candidate who can actively contribute to our community."


Etcetera etcetera!  


Then I saw that my Johnson binder has been shipped!  I can't wait to get this in the mail... get some coffee and a a muffin and sit down and read every single word!!  How exciting!?!?  And to think my one friend has received many of these books lol.  I also emailed the admissions committee at Cornell thanking them for understanding my application.  I know them relatively well so it wasn't weird or anything.  


I've also been emailing back and forth with a couple of my friends who are students... it's fun now because it's like "HEY... I COULD BE IN YOUR SCHOOL NEXT YEAR!"  hahahah...  don't mind me I'm delirious!


So 6/7 of my friends who applied to Johnson were accepted!  How clutch is that?  We're all still waiting on other schools and my one friend is going to Boston University, but imagine if we all went to the same school?  It's still pretty early though because everyone who applied through Consortium is waiting for Fellowship decisions.  That's a headache in and of itself and a topic that I will tackle next week!  I can't even begin to think about how important next Tuesday is.


Just FYI - That's when the schools sit in the room and decide who they are going to offer fellowships too.
