Top notch writing program and good political science major, and amazing, beautiful campus. Now possibly my favorite. Update: an admissions officer said the acceptance rate this year will be 8-9%! WTF? FML! Other angry acronyms!; update2- not alot of time to wait now. I'm excited, and afraid. I hope this little spark of hope doesn't get squashed.
