i'm sorry you still didn't get an official letter from them yet, tho right? where did you send your deposit?

By Quarky (Quarky) on Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 06:58 pm: Edit

According to what they told me, there is no letter. It's just a phonecall to those who got in. Those who didn't get in will get their rejection letters in a few weeks. I didn't get a phonecall, so it's pretty much over for me now.

I'm getting a job, so I can have some spending money at Cornell . Why does it seem like no one on this board gets a job? Everyone seems to be obsessed with getting into college, and taking summer classes. You know, a job is just as good for college, and probably more unique. And you're MAKING money instead of SPENDING it.

I have a job, but I don't like it. ANd, as opposed to you, I am working nearly full-time during the summer to make education more affordable. I am not even talking about spending money.....

Hopefully getting a job...I have one in the works and if it doesn't come through I just might cry. I need money like whoa to get by.

is it stupid to visit 2 colleges in a day? (for a total of 10 colleges in a week?)

Nj Governor's School of Public Issues and then the college search road trip. I work during the school year instead of the summer, so I'll start earning money again in September. Until then, I'm broke.
