Class of 2001

2001 was a year of few clients; I cut back quite a bit to accommodate the move to Seattle.  Those few did quite well, overall.  But I don't have a picture of a single one of them!  I knew my scanner was broken, so I couldn't share pictures with you, and I knew I was moving, and didn't need to add to my junk.  You'll just have to make do with my notes.  

• Toby got into Penn, high on his list; from Janice's (or Dean Austin's, to the more formal) reports, he's making a name for himself with his involvement in activities.
• Andy wrote me from Harvard, telling me he gave up a spot on Stanford's wait list and is settled in Boston. 
• Natalie got into Hastings, where she did quite well.  She visited me in February, while in Seattle for a job interview.
• Molly is in at Case and American, and accepted a deferred seat at Wisconsin.  She spent several months in Europe, and is now settling herself in Madison, preparatory to starting school this fall.
• Mike got into Indiana-Bloomington, but he deferred admission to take an exciting job in Kosovo, with the UN or Red Cross or some such (I should know, but I can't remember; sorry Mike.)  When last we corresponded, he was debating whether to stay another year before returning to the states and a less adrenalin-laden existence.
• Andrew is in at U.Conn, where he is happy and doing well; he'll be spending his summer at the Center for Capital Litigation in South Carolina.
• Candice was in at American, then was accepted at Tulane with a full tuition scholarship.  She withdrew her name from Northwestern's wait list and went apartment-hunting.  She got the good news while I was visiting, so I got to share in the excitement. 
• Brad has Pitt and Stetson;
• Carrie's in at Boston College;
• Randy has U.W.;
• Mario has the other U.W. (Wisconsin).  He also got into Illinois, but stuck to Wisconsin, since he received a full-tuition scholarship there.  
• and Yohanna has American.

The feedback my clients received from admissions officers was as interesting as the results.  I will always treasure this one:

"Your academic achievements as an undergrad were truly outstanding and your letters of recommendation were some of the finest that I have received. Even so, it was your personal, passionate, and introspective essay that moved me to pen this note."
