<p>Guys… I’ve been accepted into Harvard. This is surreal. I feel as though i should be emotional. Thanks so much for your support, guys. My commiserations to those who were rejected, I know you’ll do just fine wherever you go.</p>
<p>Got rejected from Dartmouth, Brown, and Penn but accepted to Yale and Columbia!!! What a rollercoaster!! Congrats you guys who are accepted to you choice(s), and for those who didn’t, you are still as amazing as you have always been! Don’t let a letter or two bring you down :)</p>
<p>No acceptance, or waitlist! I’m feeling so down right now, and hoping that Amherst will at least lighten me up tomorrow</p>
<p>I got rejected by Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia and waitlisted by Penn and Dartmouth. The rejections don’t hurt that much because I expected them, but it’s very disappointing to have come so close at Penn and Dartmouth, but not close enough. I’ve already been accepted to an amazing school though so I’m OK. Looking at how hard it is for international students to get in anywhere every year, I’m happy about and extremely grateful for the acceptances I’ve received so far.</p>
<p>Friends,</p>
<p>Accepted in Brown with good FA Very happy</p>
<p>Friends you all gave lot of encouragement.<br>
Thank you all
Wishing you all the best
My Rejections</p>

<p>@krishna -CONGRATULATIONS!!! Getting into Brown as int’l is tough!!! I don’t know anyone who got in! (bar you obviously)</p>
<p>I will either be joining @POmani at Harvard or @overvelocity at Yale… I really appreciate your guys support over the last couple months. We did good!!</p>
<p>Just out of interest, who else got into Dartmouth??</p>
<p>Choose wisely, ms lemming.</p>
<p>@POmani - got a feeling that you might be saying ‘go to harvard’…</p>
<p>Rejected - Everywhere.
Dissapointed, but that NU acceptance is good enough for me. They made me feel proud of myself :p</p>

[<em>] SAT I (breakdown): 2230 (M-800, W- 730, CR-700)

<p>[/ul]General Comments: Not gutted. But was definitely hoping that at least one of the Ivies saw merit in my application. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. Congratulations to all those who got into their “Dream” schools and hard luck to those who didn’t. Life must go on!! 
Ciao. </p>
<p>[If I do end up attending NU, maybe I’ll meet some of you guys some day - attending some event or something!! :D</p>

<p>Hey!! I can’t find my stats post:(</p>
<p>@lemming101</p>
<p>Thank you lemming. I will go to Brown.
they gave me very good F Aid.
If I am in your position I will go to Harvard.
We will meet in future may be in harvard.</p>
<p>@rishav17</p>
<p>I am very sorry brother. I felt so much
as if I lost in all Ivies. I think it is merely
on luck and so many high academic rigour
candidates with extra-ordinary ECs are denied.
only God knows the reason. My stats and yours are
same almost. I wanted to go to NU. It is a Reject.
My Penn interview was wonderful. but reject.
But my luck is getting good FA in Brown which is
a must for me. OMG I am happy.
you will be very happy at NU, which is my darling college…
But I do not know how much FA
you got.
rishav, we will be in touch in future too.
I will give my details after 10 days because
of my examinations now.</p>
<p>@Rath You are very nice and your posts are good guiding
lines for all the students. Your services are essential for future students too.
As rishav said we will meet some where in US. It is certain.</p>
<p>Bye my all good friends. Best of luck to you always</p>
<p>@Everyone
