Congrats to everyone with recent admits! mooze, hang in there! I'm hoping yours will happen any minute!

Congrats to everyone who has been admitted. Congrats to everyone who got $$$$$. Thank you for making it rain. For some reason that picture has stayed glued in my mind. As for the rest of us still waiting, we will all meet light at the end of this long tunnel. This experience has made me to understand why people call patience a virtue. Beware everybody, when I get my admit, my announcement will be over the top

danjohn4real: truth. "Congratulations!!!" to all that recieved good news so far, "Chin up!" to those that haven't, "Keep the faith" to those that still might... Whatever your fate, this will be a memorable time in your life. Try and think of it that way and maybe the minutes will pass a bit more easily. Posted from my mobile device

Negative! I just got the call from John...got in, with a minimal scholarship, but better than nothing

For those of you waiting for Marshall, they're calling!!! In with fellowship!!! I'm freaking out over here.

Dominicana, so did they offer ou non-cgsm money? Damn I knew I should have taken the call (was on work call). Now I have to wait for the email lol Posted from my mobile device

I was accepted to the 1 year program at Emory last week, but i havent heard about consortium $$.. For those accepted toGoizueta, are you in the 1Y or 2Y program? This is the first year the 1Y is offering consortium Scholarships.

What time did Emory Call? Were you accepted to the 1Y or 2Y?

IN @ ROSS Jon Fuller left a VM so I guess I won't know whether or not I got any non- Consortium scholarship $$ until I get the email. I ranked them 3/3 if anyone is keeping track.

I actually didn't take the call...was so nervous that I accidentally sent them to voice mail. In the voice mail, I was told of the non-cgsm amount. I ranked them 2nd.
