Hi Econ Rights!

Your concern about fellow Africans applicants is great!! I am an African, from Kenya:) I'm definitely applying to several American Universities: Harvard, Stanford, NYU, BU, Columbia, Cornell...(it doesn't hurt to apply i just might get lucky) Are you a Kenyan...thought I saw some Kiswahili? Are you a student or are you working? I am still a student doing my final year...

Hi again everyone!! How goes the waiting? Are any of you still working on your applications? Anyone got admitted anywhere?
How is the wait so far?
For me, its nerve wrecking, but hey, the darkest hour is just before the break of dawn :-)! I hope all of you are not too nerve wrecked. I sent my last application to Cardozo last week, and now I am done, just waiting and crossing my fingers :-).
Once again, best of luck and I hope you will be able to get admissions to the schools of your choice.
