在准备签证的过程中，得到了
《留美申请白皮书2003》全体编辑人员的指导，在此表示感谢。
(大家可别说我做广告呀:)
我今天本来很早就进去了。可是交了表之后，可能I-20不知出了什么问题，好久过后才
发给我条。本来应该在我后面的几个F1都在
我前面签了。亲眼看见今天第1个去签的就是F1，没过，我问他什么原因，他说VO说他G
RE太低了。然后又有两个F1也被拒。
这时我一直坐在一旁等待交表处的处理结果，闲着没事，就被一帮探亲的围住了，帮他
们填了一堆表。还帮台湾一哥们填了DS，他
好象不认识简体字，我就给他写了中国台湾省，呵呵，义正言辞的填完了。
再后来就看到Xiaofan过来了，也被拒，Comfort, 再试一次吧，别这么就放弃。
我领VISA的时候window 10只有4个人，除了我都不像学生，好象不是探亲的就是商务。
出来的时候，存包的大妈告诉我，我是第3
个过的学生，可能是我帮人填表的时候过的吧。
下面是我昨天在zixia/penn发的贴子，感谢大家的祝福，真心希望XDJM们都能顺利过关
，尤其是BJ的F1们。
已经下定决心了，明天勇闯夺命岛 五一之后开始着手准备 每天起码
1小时 现在至少也有20小时了。 感觉那
些鬼问题准备的已经很充分具体了， 心理素质一直不错， 信心也不成问题。 北京S
ARS形势已经大为改观， 加上CMUer去年全
部通过， 以及前辈们说的版主没有不过。 明天是非去不可了。:) 最重要的， 是收
到了大家如此之多的祝福， 感激之情溢于
言表， 无以为报， 以好消息来振奋人心吧。
