Catching up

As with my last post, I am in an effort to catch up to the posting requirements for my engr407 class. Matt has 7 total posts, and excluding this one and the previous one, I have 7 also. Not knowing entirely how he is going to grade it, I don't want to leave anything to chance and considering he said we can still post, here I am a half hour after class posting it up.

Quick story:

January 15 I received a phone call from UCLA's Anderson School of Business wanting to interview me for acceptance into their program this fall. After a short conversation, I was left under the impression that I would receive an email or phone call within a week to outline the interview time and details. A week later, I emailed the director of admissions to ask what the situation was. Three and a half months later I recieved two phone calls and two emails, all while in class, asking to interview me. First, I was pissed that they would just call and pretend like they hadn't completely ignored and forgotten about me, but that I realized I had an interesting situation at hand. I am all but packed to go to UVA's Darden School of Business in August, but tuition there is $45,000 a year. OUCH! So I had my interview with UCLA on the phone and presented an ultimatum (sp?) "The only way I will come to UCLA is if I am given a full scholarship." My exact words. Well I was told after the convo to expect a reply within the week. A week and a half later, still no response. Hopefully they are just getting together my scholarship papers, but very doubtful.
