I GOT IN I GOT IN!! -ahem- Post Academic Triumphs Here :)

[WobblyStilettos]

I found out that my first choice of sixth form college accepted me today (so long as I get Bs in various subjects) so I am :yay: :D

So what about you guys? Any successes you want to gloat about? :D

[Griffi97]

Big congratulations to you! Go for it, sista. :D

[WobblyStilettos]

Thanks!
Ack, sorry to continue the gloating but I just found out this particular college was over subscribed 3 to 1!!
I am bruised from people trying to make me stop singing 'I got in I got in I got iiiiiiiiiin' :) -happyhappyclappyness-

[whatever]

:holy: I got accepted into a Masters program! :yay:


(though that will be old news for those on Vent or in my blog :doh:)

[Nadir]

Congratulations! Which college is it? I too have applied to a few in the United Kingdom, so hopefully I'll be uttering similar cries later. :)

[prplchknz]

congrats

[Jennifer]

Gratz to all you happy happenin' people :)

I didn't get into my top choices when I applied for college. (They were both Ivy Leagues.) But I got accepted without even trying into my two fail-safe schools. Oh well. Such is life.

[nightning]

Congratulations all around... :cheers:

I was lazy when applying to college/grad school. Picked the closest one around :blush:

[whatever]

:dry: I'm only moving an hour away... but I'm getting out of a college town and moving to a REAL town! :)

[ygolo]

Congratulations!!!


Do Graduations count too?

Gor intance Mz. Whatever, in adition to getting into an Masters program is also graduating soon...and assumption, but a safe one, I believe.

There is a long list of people who are 21/22 that I suspect are in the same camp.

Also, if all goes well, I will be graduating in June after a long time working a hefty full-time job while going to school part time. :D

YAY CONGRATS! :D

The place I've got a conditional offer for is Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge :) I think it's in the top 3 sixth forms in the country :O I guess I won the postcode lottery :D

[Recoleta]

I have finished my first year of grad school...and not only have I survived what has been the hardest year/semester of my life, but I think I have truly stumbled upon my passion :)

Also a huge accomplishement: I was curious, and wanted to quantify the sheer volume of writing that I have done this semester (as in, since Jan. 6th) so I copied and pasted almost everything that I have turned in as a written assignment into MS Word, double-spaced, APA style, 12-pt. font in Times New Roman...and it turns out that in 4 months I managed to write roughly 165+ pages of text! :eek: I don't even want to think about the number of hours I spent simply writing...much less the number of hours I spent reading, reseaching, and commuting!

Also, congrats to WobblyStilettos and Whatever!

Hey Belfry. Nice one, man - that's an original way to congratulate a teenage girl getting into college. Have A Heart!

:smile:

[Mort Belfry]

There's a what in the what now?

There's a what in the what now?

Hey, Belfry. What is the meaning of stealing my sigs for your own nafarious uses? I work long and hard thinking up these pearls of wisdom by googling for daft quotes and other meaningless bric-a-brac.

Just cos you're in New Zealand don't think for one secondo the long skin of a yellow banana can't reach you in your lukewarm bath...

[targo]

um my son got into the elementary school I wanted. His siblings are there but I had to cross catchment

[targo]

CONGRATS :yay: to whatever and wobbly

[OK Radio]

I was accepted into the doctoral program for engineering and applied science at the University of New Orleans. I'll start in the fall. I got a scholarship to take care of tuition, which is helpful.

I'm excited about it.

Congrats everyone. When you start making bank, remember the little guys (*ME*) who helped you get there and needs new car.
