Got the official Status change & email from Colorado State U. regretfully informing me they won't be accepting me to their CVM for Fall of 2012. Bummer.
As a not-stellar, Out-of-State, 1/1500, Non-Sponsored applicant I did not expect to get an offer from them, but since it was my top pick of my 7 applications it still sucks. I hoped that my experience, accomplishments, etc would make up for my grades at CSU since they don't base things so heavily on grades, but I guess I just wasn't unique enough to compete there, a girl can dream...
Still waiting to hear from Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and Minnesota-- and of course the final decision from Iowa in mid-February. Sounds like I will hear from Washington and Michigan potentially any day now since other out-of-staters have started to get their notifications. *fingers crossed* It just takes one... It just takes one...
What a crummy Christmas present- still hoping Santa stuffs my stocking with an acceptance letter this year haha! I'd be happy with an Alternate offer too :)
I am officially on the 2nd day of X-mas break, hoping to get some artwork done for my Senior Art Show & the Spring Gallery Opener, working quite a bit, and going to Disney World for about a week with the family-- should keep me quite busy!
Keep ya'll posted on how things are going.

First Rejection
I got my first official letter of rejection today. *sad face*
CVM at Illinois sent me a letter to say that my Science GPA was lower than what they required so I technically didn't even make it to the review- I was disqualified. I wouldn't have otherwise heard from them until mid-late January had I been evaluated.
It is looking like every school calculates Science GPA a little differently- some average retaken class grades, some don't, some include math courses, some don't, etc... They calculated my S-GPA much lower than a few others I have seen.
This was my last choice of the 7 I applied to, I got the letter and was confused because I thought "...I didn't apply to Illinois...? Did I?" That tells you how much I wanted to go there lol
I'm just glad it wasn't the first school I heard from; it's better to start on a good note!
5 schools left to hear from! Next should be by the end of the month! *holding my breath*
