*SHHH!* It's a secret!

I am typing this out because everytime I open my mouth I jinx it "( . 
I know! I know!
It sounds crazy but I swear it is true!
And I really need to say this or get it down at least.
Or else I will end up talking about in school
then it wont come true.
 
Ok so I keep changing my top schools. First it was University of Connecticut, then is was Howard, and now it is *drum roll please!!!!* Spelman. I really want to go there now. I have not been notified of a decision from any of these schools yet. But the deadline for Spelman to notify me of admission is New Years Eve. And the dead line for Howard to notify (that is if they received my stuff by then, which is a whole other story) is Christmas Eve. And UConn's is February 1st. 
But anyway. I really want to go to Spelman. I live in CT so it is a far distance from home but my mom promised she will fly me back and forth if need be. I have done a lot of research on this school and it has great professors, students there walk away with an amazing education and benefits and they also get a lot out of it. I even searched on Tumblr and some amazing pictures and blogs came up about it and I thought it seemed like a cool place to be.
I can honestly see myself at Spelman. I just really hope that I get in. I meet their SAT requirements and everything the only thing that I am worried about is the fact that they admit no more than 39% of their applicants. 
I really hope I find out really soon. The deadline for early action was November 15th and they received all of my materials by the 27th of October. So hopefully my application is close to the top so they could give me a decision faster. I figured people who applied for early decision would get their applications first and they would be informed first and the deadline for them to find out is December 15th. So starting the 16th hopefully they will begin to mail out the decisions for early action applicants. 
 I feel much more relaxed :]

First College Acceptance Letter

Yesterday on November 3, 2011 at 8:11 am I received an email informing me that I have been accepted to University of New Haven! It is my first ever acceptance letter!!! Even though that it is my safety school and last choice as of the moment I am extremely excited because right now no matter what I am going to college :) . So even if I get declined by somewhere, which I'm sure I will, I still have somewhere to go. Now I am just waiting on my top four choices to let me know. Right now they are Howard University, University of Connecticut, Temple University, and Spelman College!
