got my rejection today from both programs
That sucks. How did they let you know? Mail?
Yup it came in the mail and I called Southwestern and was told that the committee is a bit behind where they would like to be by this date and that people should start hearing in a couple of weeks. 
And you live in LA? And it was mailed Friday? Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to decide how scared of my mailbox I need to be tonight. Of course, I won't be getting the mail for nine hours, but still...
Actually I'm on the east coast and it was dated March 2. Good luck
Do you have some other options?
Yes - I have an acceptance but I'd like to have some more options. I'm still waiting on Southwestern, Cal Western and Golden Gate
