UBC

This time of year universities are a particularly hot topic.

People who applied early to the US have already heard
And people in the UK are beginning to hear sporadically:
some are getting offers (grades they must meet in their exams to be accepted)
and
some are getting rejected.

I think all of the second years are a bit sick of the topic
and some people are getting very nervous because they haven't heard anything yet
but still
we still talk about it.

I, too, have been waiting.
I check my university accounts to see if anything has changed so often that it is a bit like a nervous tick.
I know I should probably chill out a little bit, but I am nervous that I have accidentally filled something out wrong and I am worried that my transcripts won't get there in time (which is actually justified because my transcripts for mcgill are due on the 21st and they should have arrived about 3 weeks ago... but they aren't there yet).

And yet, despite all of the chaos:
I got into UBC!!

and I quote:
"You were offered admission on January 12, 2011. A letter advising you of this decision, which includes registration information, has been mailed to you."

woooot!
to be perfectly honest, it is not my top choice (or even my second choice), but it feels good to know that I have gotten in somewhere (although I would like to know what I need in my final grades to stay accepted... or to know if it is an unconditional offer...)
