<p>Ok, I concede the point, but its pretty difficult to tell in my opinion.</p>
<p>sakky, I’m flattered that you’d mention Tufts syndrome, but I don’t think that was the reason. I mean, first of all Tufts didn’t reject me! 
I feel like I probably got in to Brown last minute, since I sent them an update last week, to which they replied: “blah blah blah has been put in your file and will be considered when making our final decision.” I figured I wasn’t sitting squarely on the reject or admit pile from the wording of the e-mail reply. And if I got in last minute, my ‘stats’ weren’t high enough to merit an auto-admit, and Berkeley wouldn’t have been able to reject me based on Tufts syndrome.</p>
<p>At this point I’m thinking the reason is either: Berkeley is about as hard to get in to OOS as HYPMS, or there must have been some deficiency in my application that automatically disqualified me (that I wasn’t aware of).</p>
<p>what is OOS?</p>
<p>i will trade you your brown for my berkeley :)</p>
<p>OOS is out of state</p>
