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.

sorry, but is it an e-mail or a status page....?

[drop65]

sorry, but did everyone get it at 3 or was there some trickle down time

[sunflower_girl]

I'm sorry you got deferred. I'm from the Cornell board and I just wanted to say that...everything will be ok.

[Jvhowube]

Flat-out DENIED

SAT: 2210
II's: 780, 690
ACT: 33
GPA: 3.92 UW
Course of study: Maybe econ major/history minor
Gender: Male

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.

[GrecoPrincetonian]

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...

[amnesia]

if you have normal ECs you ain't goin Ivy.
