This might be a stupid question, but I’ll ask anyways. If a student with competitive scores and stats were to be rejected their senior year, do they have a lesser chance at getting in than a student with lower scores in high school but similar scores in college? Basically, should I see my rejections as a ‘we don’t think you’d ever fit at our school’ or a 'pay another 70 dollars next year and we’ll see?

I had basically straight rejection or acceptances with little/no aid and I’m waiting on JHU’s waitlist [w/ very little expectations]. Planning on going to my state university and transferring to Cornell or Brown. High School Stats: IB, 4.0uw/4.8w, NMF, 2260/35, asian, decent ec’s etc. I guess my real question is… if they’ll see my application and draw the conclusion that I don’t have a story.
