Yale Acceptance
Wow! I am still in shock. It hasn't seemed to sink in quite yet.
This morning, I was working on a project for a store opening when I heard the phone ring. My heart nearly leapt out of my chest when I saw area code 203 on my caller id. I answered the phone in my usual manner, just in case it was a customer. The next thing I know, I was listening to Lindsay say the words that I have wanted to hear since I began this process almost two years ago, "We would like to welcome you to the class of 2007." She gave me some information - when my offer letter would appear online, that I should expect materials to arrive in the mail, and that if I wanted to take another course before the first term that Micro-Economics would be the school's recommendation. She then wrapped up the call. I managed to exclaim, "Awesome!" before the call was finished. I simply couldn't believe it.
Within minutes, everyone in my office was at my desk congratulating me.
What a journey! I learned a lot about myself going through this process. I expect to learn a great deal more from my classmates and class work in New Haven this fall.
I don't intend to post on my experiences taking the GMAT, selecting schools, applying, etc. A good number of bloggers have already covered these bases. (And I don't feel as though I have earned the right to consider myself an expert!) I have one tip on essay writing that I have not yet seen in a blog; and many tips on the waitlist process, which is the one post I will write.
Tomorrow, it will probably hit me: Everything that needs to happen so that I am happily settled in New Haven come August 15th. Right now, I am blissfully content. Euphoric. I haven't felt this way in a long, long time.
