Finally received and accepted SA -Thank you

So after sitting on a wait list for just over a month I received a call today with an offer at a BB in NYC. I can't even express the feeling, I got the call in the business college at my school and went absolutely nuts. I was fist pumping and people were looking at me like I was insane. I accepted it on the spot and feel as if a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

The point of this post is to thank you all, the WSO community, for providing an unbelievable resource for a clueless college kid who didn't know his ass from his elbow a year ago. I seriously credit so much of this recent success to this place, and hope that I can contribute to others experiences in the future. I don't know if people usually do these types of posts when they get SA gigs or not, but I am way too excited to not take advantage of this opportunity to thank you all.

I guess if I can be of any help or anything please feel free to PM me or comment. I am a junior at a non-target in the midwest btw.

Congrats.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

thanks to all, really appreciate it.

Chipper, they told me I was on the wait list a few days after the super day, and continued to follow up with me to check on other offers, etc. Then after a month finally let me know that i was being extended an offer.
