Swami says VN booster will be here in a minute to ask how you could choose AT over VN. Swami thinks you will still get a good number, and you will get into ATLP initially, followed by TRY by July, and you will be stalled in the top 7 at Maury and continue calling through count day.

Haha RE VN. I know that was a strange place to put it. I think I thought it was a complete long shot but got lazy trying to find more backups!

Any chance? And yes, we are ok with our IB as a back-up option.

Swami says enjoy your backup, and work to be more than "ok" with it!

You were right! But I am relieved not to have to make a decision, so it is ok.

Swami says cheers and it isn't too late to pour a third glass of wine.

Alright, Swami.

PK3:
1) CMI, 2) YY, 3) Shepherd, 4) Powell, 5) DC Bilingual, 6) EL Haynes, 7) Bancroft, 8) Barnard (in bounds).

Lay it on me.

Swami says someone has to get into CMI, and that someone is you. You are elated, quickly post on Facebook, and get cold shouldered by your shut-out friends.

Waitlisted in the 50s at CMI. You're making me question online fortune telling, Swami.

Are any of these your IBM?
-Swami

Swami if none, you will enjoy another year at your current school with your highest wait list number being in the low 40s

Best number 41 at Hearst worst 78 at Janney! You're good!

Kind of hoping we don't get in and don't have to make a tough decision

Don't worry, you won't. You will, however, get waitlist numbers in the mid 30s to upper 30s that will be anxiety producing as they creep up until they finally stall out in the first week of September and you double down where you are.

TR4 match - I am in shock, and now begins the decision making, ahhh

Breakthrough

You will get into Breakthrough on lottery day and waffle about enrolling because you aren't sure of the commute. Your CMI and YY numbers will be untenable. You will get off of the WL at SSMA with a number in the 30s by mid-summer, but will be watching your ITS number and DCB numbers creep down. You will call DCB and ITS through count day and will eventually get in ITS in late September. Your kid will be resilient, and you will be happy. You'll sign up immediately for kiss and go duty.

No match, Breakthrough is in the 30s, SSMA is in the 40s. ITS is near 100, don't think that's happening. I give you a 7 out of 10.

You will continue at Powell and start to think seriously about cashing out your 325k in equity and buying that SFH with a huge yard in MoCo.

#8 at Bancroft and #26 at OA; hoping one of those come through.

Dear Swami - We are IB for Murch, #9 on Wait list...is that even doable?

Swami still thinks you will get a Breakthrough call before 1-June.

You will have a top 5 WL number at Hearst and get in by July. You will be grateful because your other waitlist numbers will be in the mid 30s to upper 70s

We matched at Hearst

For K? They aren't expanding that much at K. They don't have the room now that they are staying in current location
