...kept on hold. Given the odds, those who choose to remain on a waitlist should still accept an offer from--and, yes, probably pay a nonrefundable deposit to--another school, lest they have nowhere to attend in the fall. Some waitlisted students use the time to take action. Sam Davison, a senior at Highland Park High School in Texas, was waitlisted at his first choice, Vanderbilt University. To boost his chances, Davison had a family friend who is an alumnus write a letter on his behalf. And he is in touch with a Vanderbilt admissions officer. Vanderbilt, which waitlisted...
...welcome updates on grades and achievements, which is what Sarah Brown-Campello, captain of the soccer and lacrosse teams at Thacher School in Ojai, Calif., is sending to her top choice, Dickinson College (she wants small classes and a chance to take Portuguese), along with a new teacher recommendation.

Created in 1909 as a gift of University Organist and Choirmaster Archibald T. Davison and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Edward C. Moore to the Harvard and Cambridge community, the services are the oldest continually running carol services in America. While the format of the services—carols and hymns interspersed by readings from scripture—has remained unchanged, Gund University Organist...
...poets formed the fourth group. The one I never met was Frank O’Hara. My memory of Ashbery I’m afraid is tinged by an unfortunate encounter with his partner. Others I had met were Donald Hall, Peter Davison, Adrienne Rich, Phil Levine, Stephen Sandy, Robert Creeley (unknown to each other, we were judges for the 1987 American Awards and met at the reception), Robert Kelly, Allen Ginsberg, and Peter Orlovsky. “Howl” had just been published to be immediately banned in public and on the airwaves. Rumor had it that Ginsberg...
