I GOT IN TO WISCONSIN!!!

This is very exciting. Wisconsin is my top choice, and they were the first ones to offer me admission (only two weeks after I submitted my application!). Now I have to apply for an FLAS (Foreign Language Area Studies) fellowship so I can get university funding for my first year of study, which would be most awesome. I can study either Quichua or Yoruba given my interests (I would do Spanish, but I can't get funding for that).

I still have to hear back about my other admission decisions, but I have a hard time believing I will get in to Northwestern, Yale, or Harvard; Maryland won't be better than Wisconsin is; and Michigan is a 50/50 shot. So unless another place offers my an insane amount of money, I'm heading off to Badgerland!

Say Hi to Bucky Badger, my new mascot friend for the next seven years or so. :)
