A few weeks ago I got into Brown University. I wanted to go, but, well, couldn't quite afford it. They expected too much.

I went and met with their office, clarified some points. They updated my expense projections -- now I can go!!

95% of going to Brown now [Smile]

Personally I prefer Taupe to just regular Brown, but it's all a matter of preference.

On a more serious note: much congratso

The New England clump is getting bigger this Fall. Aren't the REST of you jealous? [Smile]

eros, I got wait-listed at my only Ivy (Dartmouth), and went to Johns Hopkins. Imagine a bunch of kids frustrated that they didn't get into their Ivy League choices. [Smile]

Oh, and I had a great experience at my non-Ivy, so take heart!

COngrats, Phanto.
A similar thing happened when I was accepted at my dream college, but did not get enough financial aid. The college was, at the time(and I think still is) "need blind," and anyone who was accepted was supposed to get the aid they needed. I was in the wrong pile, I guess, but it eventually worked out, and I was deemed poor enough to go!

Congratulations, glad you were able to surmount that obstacle!

Hey, congratulations! Providence is a great place to spend a few years. If you're at all into theater, you should usher at Trinity Rep -- you get to see the plays for free, and imho their productions are often better quality than Broadway.

I'll second that. ( [Wave]

Congratulations! Try not to hurt your neck constantly looking down at the URI and RIC kids. Kidding! (Kinda) Providence is a great town, I'm sure you'll love it.
