with the Family

After 2 consecutive nights of steak (see most recently 16.075 Salchisal (Chuck Tail Flap) Steak), I was not in the mood for any meat, but DJ suddenly announced that he’d been accepted to UCLA, to which I replied “We eat whatever you want,” and he wanted meat.

He will have heard from all the schools that he’d applied to by the end of the month.  Responses received thus far:

ACCEPTED

• • Boston University
  • Carnegie Mellon University
  • UC Davis
  • UCLA
  • UC Riverside
  • UC Santa Barbara

WAITLISTED

• • Boston College
  • UC San Diego

REJECTED

• • Brown University
  • Johns Hopkins University
  • Tufts University

PENDING

• • Cornell University
  • Dartmouth University
  • Georgetown University
  • Northwestern University
  • Stanford University
  • UC Berkeley
  • UPENN
  • University of Southern California
  • Yale University

UCLA is now the top contender.

If I were to speculate on the remaining schools, in descending order of likely acceptance: USC (sure thing), UC San Diego (good shot), Cal (good shot), Boston College (maybe), Georgetown (maybe), Cornell (maybe), UPENN (maybe), Dartmouth (maybe), Northwestern (long shot), Stanford (long shot), Yale (long shot).
