<p>Thanks for that story, shootehJoon. I’ve heard from three schools in the past two days: wait-listed at two and rejected at one. Plus, I just spent three hours in traffic Even though it hurts, i’ve been trying to get over it, and that story helped me.</p>
<p>Yeah that story definately did help.</p>
<p>That’s an amazing story. Thank you for that.</p>
<p>Didn’t get into UF which really upset me since I thought and still think that I am good enough to go there.</p>
<p>Also got rejected from Columbia but have accepted that and know I probably wasnt good enough to go there.</p>
<p>Got accepted into USF(then again who doesn’t) and FSU(once again kind of the same thing). Will be going to FSU which I consider to be a mediocre school. Well guess I’m just a mediocre student going to a mediocre school.</p>
<p>Well, after the grand optimism of six straight acceptances, I faced my first rejection today: Yale i.e. my dream school for around fifteen years. I always imagined I would probably go on a rampage after seeing that insincere bull **** letter. But I realized something months ago (when the bastards deferred me, I lost all hope at that point) that prevented this from happening: IT DOESN’T MATTER. Then again, I am quite fortunate that I got into some extremely selective schools. And even if that wasn’t the case, I would adapt. You move on. You must. </p>
<p>Things always have some reasoning behind them. It is extremely painful to think that these committees looked through your files, supplements, artwork, life’s accomplishments and just said no, but you get over it. You breathe, you move on. The world does not stop because you were rejected from an Ivy. I try to remember that it is all a crap shoot, honestly. It’s not personal and certainly does not mean you are unworthy or unqualified. It just meant that the admissions officer’s finger landed on moe. That’s all. </p>
<p>Please, no suicides. The best thing to do is get out of this with a bit of dignity.</p>
<p>Yay, waitlisted at Harvard. Horrible news to my mother, some type of relief for me. Honestly, Harvard hasn’t taken anyone from my school in 10 years. I’m extremely fortunate for even that bit of news. A bit like purgatory, isn’t it?</p>
<p>i wish princeton had waitlisted me. at least it would’ve felt almost like being taken seriously. </p>
<p>i realize i’m being melodramatic, but right now, i think i’m entitled to; if i’m still melodramatic in a few hours, go ahead and flame me.</p>
<p>Just got rejected from Cornell, which I’m actually fine with. I really didn’t want to go there and applied for stupid little reasons. The problem is, now I am terrified that I will be rejected from the rest of my schools, which are mostly on the same level though not an Ivy.</p>
<p>Mixed feelings about it, especially since I’ve only been accepted into schools that I really don’t want to go to…</p>
<p>Rejected by Penn, Yale and UChicago. Also Rejected by Hamilton and Davidson. Waitlisted by Colorado College. </p>
<p>Around 10 colleges decisions are still pending but I have lost all hope. I am making my plans as though I was rejected from every college I applied. If I get in any college anyways, it will be the best blessing in my life.</p>
<p>I am fine.
But school is what I have been working on for the past four years. I loved it. I wanted to excel at it. And I didn’t get into the best schools. Which makes me feel so ordinary.</p>
<p>Rejected by Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Waitlisted at Penn.</p>
<p>Rejected by 4. Waiting for 4. 2 of the 4 are rolling admissions. </p>
<p>[shrugs] Sometimes I wish admissions will discuss who they will have instead of rejecting every person who might want to attend their school or whatever. </p>
<p>=/ Forgive me. Not in a happy mood about college.</p>
<p>I got denied by UCSD, UCI, UCLA.</p>
<p>then i got accepted to berkeley
irony?</p>
<p>I got rejected from Columbia. It was my first choice, and this just hurts so bad.
However, I’ve gotten accepted to Dartmouth, Harvard, and Williams and I’m super excited. I know I probably shouldn’t be complaining about Columbia, but I really wanted to go there.</p>
<p>I also don’t know how to face my friends. A lot of them applied to Harvard and have gotten rejected. It makes me feel horrible because I just don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>Well I got into 3/6 places I applied.</p>
<p>Man, I got rejected by UPENN and waitlisted by Chicago. Is it even worth it to accept my place on the U Chicago waitlisted list? I mean I got accepted into Berkeley and that’s probably where I’m going to go, so should I even bother with U Chicago?</p>
<p>I need a little perspective…</p>
<p>I just got rejected from Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Harvard. I also got rejected from Wellesley and waitlisted at Barnard. The only place I’ve gotten into so far is Ohio State University, and I’m really not that interested in going there.
I’m waiting for decisions from Princeton and Stanford, but I think I pretty much know what the results are going to be.</p>
<p>For the first time in my life, I’m getting the feeling that I’m not good enough, and it really really REALLY hurts.</p>
<p>What do you guys think my options are now? Should I wait and reapply for Spring 2008 admissions or try and transfer after a year (not an idea that appeals to me).
And anyway, are there very many colleges that’re open for applications for the Spring 2008 term?</p>
<p>Got rejected by: Brown, William & Mary, Yale, and Barnard. UVA = most likely rejection on April 1st. UMich = possible acceptance? accepted to JMU (my safety). Accepted to Smith - my #3 (Brown & Barnard were my 1 and 2). I love Smith so I’m okay… just a little bummed that I’m only going to get into 2 or 3 out of the 8 schools I applied to. I have to admit, it’s left me feeling pretty stupid!</p>
<p>Whoa pris89! =[ We both got rejected by Wellesley. I think we should both apply and transfer! =]]] </p>
<p>What is your first choice?</p>
<p>So, in the end, Havard, Brown, Columbia, Yale, Penn, Cornell, and Berkeley want nothing to do with me. It really hurt, to be honest, and I felt so worthless. </p>
<p>…But UCLA accepted me, and honestly, that one acceptance made all the difference. While I would’ve liked to go to four of those schools, UCLA was just so unexpected and wonderful.</p>
<p>Sarah, at least you got into somewhere. =] That’s good.</p>
<p>You can always apply again for grad school. =]</p>
