<p>Domestican, YES, I was 14 at the time of application, and will start my college career at 15. I applied to 9 schools, and got into 4 1/2 of them. So, not too disappointed by the rejection. </p>

<p>I found that some places see your future potential, and others don’t. That is A-OK with me.</p>

<p>I was accepted at Upenn, Williams, Carnegie Mellon, and Colorado College.</p>

<p>Most people my age get rejected…so I’m Happy.</p>

185

<p>Wailtisted… from my #1 Georgetown College. Anyone have any statistics on the GU waiting list from previous years?</p>

<p>Heres my final tally:</p>

<p>Yale: Rejected
Princeton: Rejected
Brown: Rejected
Stanford: Rejected
Duke: Rejected
Columbia: Waitlisted
Cornell: Waitlisted
Georgetown: Waitlisted
Emory: Accepted
UCLA: Accepted

<p>This was tough but theres still some hope. Either way, I’m stoked about being a Regent Scholar at Berkeley and getting into GU would just be icing on the cake.</p>

<p>waitlisted? join the facebook group</p>

196

<p>Goldwater, if you were waitlisted you should have gotten the paper about statistics from previous years along with your waitlist letter. Basically, it says that last year (and in 2004 with the exception of NHS) no one was admitted from the waitlist because there was a high number of applicants enrolling, and in the other years the percentage accepted off of the list was still pretty low. So all-in-all, getting off the waitlist should be nearly impossible <em>sigh</em> (I’m on the waitlist too :()</p>

197

<p>Accepted! And still deciding between Georgetown & Duke. Ughhhh, decisions. >.<</p>

198

<p>Interesting! Most people that I’ve talked to would choose Duke over Georgetown (I’m completely undecided ATM myself).</p>
