waitlisted.

I'd rather have been outright rejected. As it is, I'm just devastated.

Meh. Rejected. But accepted at Chicago and Northwestern. Maybe I'm just not the person they are looking for.

annak,

CMC offers excellent financial aid. In fact, it is one of the top 10 LACs for its aid packages, if I'm not mistaken.

not necessarily. every adcom is different. maybe someone over there loved your essay, while they hated it at CMC.
