Umass: in.
UVM: in, w/ a $12,000 for 4 years academic scholarship.
VA Tech: in.
NC State: in.
Gettysburg College: in, w/ a $12,500 per year academic scholarship
Duke: out. don't really care though, didn't like it much there anyways.
Lehigh: waitlisted, those bastards.
Dartmouth: haven't heard, but it's probably a no.I don't really care that much about these places. If I'm lazy, I'll go to Umass because it's only 10 minutes from my house and I won't have the stress of deciding what to do with my horses, since they can stay where they are. I'm going up to UVM next weekend, I think I'll like that, maybe that's where I'll decide to go. Gettysburg is offering me a shitload of money, but it might be too small for me. After I got rejected from Cornell in December, which was the only school I cared about, that I've wanted to go to since I was 10, I haven't really cared much about the whole college admission process. I kinda fudged my applications, which is why I think I didn't get into any of the good schools on my list. I figure if wherever I'm at next year sucks too much to handle, I'll transfer. Hopefully I'll make a decision soon soon so that my parents will let me go watch Rolex which is at the end of April. Watching people do this:
would make me very happy. And I am perfectly willing to drive 15 hours overnight to get there and sleep in my car while I'm down there. Anything to see Rolex. [ April 01, 2004: Message edited by: melissa ]

ooooh...GO TO UVM!!! that's where all of the AMAZING morgan horses are, correct?? There are a couple horses at my barn that were bred there and they are just toooo cute. 
and I'm already in college. so I have nothing to add..
except that I got into all the classes I registered for! yay! PS- Melissa, I know how you feel about doing anything to go to a horse event, I am going down to the Saddlebred World Champion Horse show in August Where they do this!  *drool* haha, i think I am more excited to go there than I am to go to New Zealand in may! What the hell is wrong with me?! [ April 02, 2004: Message edited by: Geektanic ]

New Zealand??? They have AMAZING eventers in New Zealand...that's where Aberjack was bred!! Going to the Saddlebred show would be super-cool for me too, and I don't even ride saddleseat or anything. Holy nerdiness, batman!
And yeah UVM is where they have the Morgans...they actually have a lot at Umass too, almost all their school horses are Morgans I think, but they are apparently significantly less cool than UVM's. If UVM has Lippit's, too, I am totally sold. I love Lippit Morgans...there is the cutest one in the world at my barn. I think everyone there has a "plan" for her. Her owner is trying to sell her, and thought she would sell well as a combined driving horse, so she has some driving training under her belt. One of the people who rides her wants to do the Morgan dressage shows with her this summer. I personally think that while combined driving would be awesome, Buffy was really destined to be an eventer (despite the fact she's never been trained to jump that I know of. Summer project???)
