Thanks for the well wishes everyone! annieca - Yep, I've heard how inconvenient St Andrews can be in regards to expense and transportation. I'd have to live in the residence halls and deal with the extended distance to a train station. Though I have to say, when visiting the UK this summer the rail system was fantastic! But then I love ANY type of public transportation and we have none of that here in Vegas! The buses here are atrocious unless you live ON the strip...and nobody in their right mind would do such a thing. I have a car now, but I'd love to be able to ditch it for a few years I'll look into talking to our Scottish blogger!

I woke up to find an acceptance to St Andrews in my inbox!! Yay!! Though UK acceptances are bittersweet since now the hurdle is securing funding from scholarships. But hey, one down right?? Congrats to all the admits and hugs to the others...This board has been blowing up!! Happy Valentine's Day!! P.S. czesc I have a feeling this is your day~

Anyone claiming the UCSB admit added today?? I'd love to know if this letter had any other details you can offer?? PLeeease

Congrats! What a great thing to come home to....

I've got nothing as well. But most of my apps are in the UK - and as I noted earlier - most of them JUST received my references, and such, are currently being considered. Congrats to all the admits...and hang in there to everyone who has yet to hear positive news!

Congrats on reigning in on a decision, annieca! But I really want that cake, tea and wine....for the rest of the semester.

I need to vent - three UK schools have had issues with my references that I know for a fact were emailed, mailed, and/or resent multiple times. I keep getting emails (sometimes weeks after I've inquired, another pet peeve) that claim one department has one or two or none of them and if I could email a different department to find out and then have the references emailed to another department, etc. I'm afraid my referees will never want to write me a recommendation letter again! There has got to be an easier way to prevent all this confusion concerning international applicants!!! OK, I'm done and tired.

Viggosloof - to hell with Berkeley!! Congrats on your Chapel Hill acceptance!!

I'm another Berkeley reject. (same go to website and check status email as kyjin). Not surprised really since it was a last minute decision and I never made any POI contact. It's still not fun being the FIRST of all my decisions! Here's to better news!

Congrats kyjin!

Congrats annieca!!! I was hoping to hear something today - even just a "hey, we lost your transcripts"... but nothing.

Um..that Berkeley admit was on the European side...yikes!

::crossing fingers:: though Berkeley was just a shot in the dark for me - a girl can dream!
