17 Friend Updates

Many of you have asked for updates on my friends that I’ve spoken about and where they are going to school.  I can report on this information now because I believe there’s just one who is still deciding and I have no idea what the outcome of THAT decision would be! 

Here are the acceptances.  If you want to be in contact with any of my friends who are going to these schools because they’ll be your classmates, just shoot me an email.  The people in quotation marks are more of acquaintances.

Friend 1 - Accepted to UT Austin and Duke Fuqua - attending UT Austin

Friend 2 - Accepted to Columbia - attending Columbia

Friend 3 - Accepted to Indiana and Duke Fuqua - attending Duke

Friend 4 - Accepted to Cornell and Chicago Booth - attending Chicago

Friend 5 - Accepted to Darden and Tuck - attending Tuck

Friend 6 - Accepted to (not sure all of the schools) - attending Tuck

Friend 7 - Accepted to Columbia, Chicago, Tuck, Wharton - still deciding

“Friend” 8 - Accepted to Wharton, Stanford, HBS - attending Stanford

Friend 9 - Accepted to HBS - attending HBS (withdrew apps)

Friend 10 - Accepted to NYU, Chicago, Columbia, Emory, Georgetown - attending NYU

Friend 11 - Accepted to Cornell - attending Cornell

“Friend” 12 - Accepted to Cornell and UNC - attending UNC

Friend 13 - Accepted to Cornell, Darden, Tuck - attending Tuck

Friend 14 - Accepted to Cornell, Indiana, (and I think Kellogg) - attending Cornell

Friend 16 - Accepted to Duke & Cornell - attending Duke (i’m still bitter)

Friend 17 - Accepted to Duke & Cornell - also attending Duke

Those are the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.  I think we did pretty well if I may say so myself!  GO US!

I’m sure I forgot some folks in there too because I know there is another HBSer in there... some Kellogg folks... maybe 1 more Wharton.

To those people on the waitlists!  Just remember that while these people have decided that they are going to these schools, it does not mean that they have withdrawn their applications at other schools.  I’m not sure what makes someone withdraw  an app on say a Tuesday vs. a Thursday or something, but yeah... just keep holding out on that waitlist if you can!  I mentioned it before but at the end of this month there are going to be a lot of application withdraws so maybe your application will be one that they ultimately chose!  I have a friend who got off the waitlist at Cornell and another one who got off the waitlist at Wharton!  It’s possible!  

CHEERS!
