I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now. Surreal. Numb.
On one hand, I'm relieved that I wasn't rejected outright. But somehow, this is worse. My heart sunk when I read the decision.
I know its not the end of the world, but it kind of seems like it. I'm not crying, but I feel like I should be.

Flat-out DENIED

ACT: 33
GPA: 3.92 UW
Course of study: Maybe econ major/history minor

All of my recs were really good, as were the essays. EC's were solid, but not spectacular. What can I say? ***** happens. Now it's back to the drawing board.

quagmire, are you sure there wasn't any defect, any major weak spot, it's ok if you don't feel like saying anything, but I was just curious, what you tell us looks too strong for rejection...
