<p>my grandfather is recoverig–thanks for your concern!:)</p>
<p>Wabash,you’re a winner and a champ.Everyone on this board likes you and has been cheering for you.You’re going to do fine and excel wherever you go.HSC attracts outstanding young men which obviously explains your love for that great school.You can always restate your case to admissions there,give it your best shot,and,failing that,do well some place else next year and transfer to HSC.You have the classy spirit of an HSC guy and I know you’ll succeed and be happy and popular wherever you go.God bless you!</p>
<p>I think i’l go to my local cc and transfer come december.</p>
<p>wabash, just a correction from your original post: HSC does NOT cost $40k/semester…</p>
<p>um, not necessary cavalier302…it was probablly jsut a typo, but regardless, unimportant</p>
<p>Wabash, do you ever watch Seinfeld? Remember how George breaks up with people- its not you its me? Think of college admission people that way…its almost like you had a relationship with this place HSC and it didn’t work out and you want closure, but all you are going to get is “its not you its me” kind of response</p>
<p>I would bet that there are legal reasons the school is going to be vague in its answers, and as pointed out, pretty generic, but I would want to know as well, what I shoulda woulda coulda done</p>
<p>So, its okay to be sad and frustrated, but not for too long…start looking forward and let go of the past, and soon, promise, you will start to feel postive about your future</p>
<p>You seem to be handling this all with grace and fortitude</p>
<p>And, jsut think, some other school gets the pleasure of your company</p>
<p>CGM, no school in the country costs $40k/semester. I’ll assume it was a typo.</p>
<p>Wabash, CGM is right about the probability that HSC will be vague with you. Admissions offices see thousands of applications every year, and their decisions on applications are rarely made for personal reasons. I wouldn’t take not getting in as a personal setback. Anyway, I’ve seen your numbers before somewhere on CC (my uncle went to HSC, so threads about it catch my eye), and I think it’s fairly obvious why you didn’t get in this time around. However, if you go to the local CC with a good attitude and do well, it is likely that HSC would take you as a transfer.</p>
<p>“CGM, no school in the country costs $40k/semester”
(Thanks for filling us in, Cav. jeesh. I think most readers don’t view this typo as the point of the Wabash’s thread.)</p>
<p>“Anyway, I’ve seen your numbers before somewhere on CC (my uncle went to HSC, so threads about it catch my eye), and I think it’s fairly obvious why you didn’t get in this time around.”</p>
<p>you know, Cavalier302, I don’t recall any posters on CC pointing out to you reasons why it was “fairly obvious” when you were waitlisted at many colleges you targeted last year. For a guy who has the honor of being an Echols Scholar at a wonderful university, I often wonder why your posts can be so Un-cavalier.</p>
<p>Wabash, this disappointment will not define your life. Stay optimistic, enroll where you can and seek encouragement and guidance. Also, we hope you post updates and let us know what you decide.</p>
<p>Jeez, faline, thanks! I didn’t take the $40k part as the point of the OP; I simply commented on it. Sorry for cluttering up the thread.</p>
<p>Oh, and Faline, it was not “fairly obvious” why I was waitlisted at a variety of schools, as I had numbers and other credentials that, in many cases, were above the 75th percentiles of students enrolling at those schools. Wabash’s stats placed him below the 25th percentile of applicants at HSC, which is, in my opinion, a “fairly obvious” challenge to overcome. I wasn’t trying to be a d-bag or a tool; I was simply trying to point out the obvious. CC posters frequently sugarcoat things a bit too much. I certainly didn’t mean any offense to Wabash, and I don’t understand your sarcastic comments and misplaced criticism.</p>
<p>cc/uva is the best option</p>
<p>I am not being sarcastic. Most posters were cheering for you when you were a senior in HS, and sad for you if you had any disappointments. And any disappointments you experienced, were never at all “fairly obvious” to anyone. I do fully understand that you were a very highly qualified candidate for all your colleges and that you were an honors student with many fine choices. I simply found your tone with the “fairly obvious” remark and the focusing on the price of a semester to be less than supportive.
I am sorry to hijack this post. Perhaps I should have not done so or I should have PM’d cav privately.</p>
<p>people with sub 3.5 GPA’s don’t deserve sympathy anyway</p>
<p>amor caelestis, tsk tsk tsk</p>
