Oh, well
Alison finally got the letter. Unfortunately, the news was not what we had hoped it would be. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to offer encouragement. We'll do it again next year.
Though not admitted, she did put in a very strong showing. At Colorado State University, where she is studying, there were 1400+ applications for Vet school this year, and 123 (I think) open positions. 60 positions were filled immediately, and 120 applicants were chosen to be interviewed for the remaining 63. Ali made it into the final round, which is very impressive.
Thanks to all who wished her well.

Here's hoping for next year then.
Posted by: andy on February 16, 2003 09:04 PMBetter luck next time, Ali! I know how you feel... get this, CU (Boulder) rejected me for grad school! Poor suckers, I already accepted DU's offer anyway. Congrats on getting as far as you did. :-)
Posted by: Kelly on February 16, 2003 09:39 PMMatt, can I just say something?
To all of you out there looking for a credit report, DO NOT use FreeCreditReport.com! It wouldn't let me see my report because I couldn't answer a question about the student loan my parents took out in my name 3 years ago, and I can't login to cancel because of it. I tried calling the Customer Service number, but I was on hold for 20 minutes, when an automated voice told me I was #1 in line, at which point the system hung up on me. I hate these people with a passion. Argh. Don't ever use this service. They're one of the worst things I've ever had to deal with... second only to Dell Customer Care.
We are SOO sorry. Tell Ali to keep her chin up and keep plugging and hope to see you both soon.

Interesting.
