<p>wt.f? i just got rejected from JHU via email!! wow. they suck :-(</p>
<p>I had a line of acceptances and then hit two rejections within the same hour.
I don’t know how the people who said they were okay with it dealt with it because I’m taking it pretty hard. They weren’t my dreams schools (i actually don’t have any dream schools) but it’s a sucky feeling. And the fact that my parents are like, are you okay with it? isn’t helping…</p>
<p>Hmm…I got rejected from JHU for some odd reason. I told them a month ago I wasn’t interested anymore…either communications breakdown or spite?</p>
<p>I’ve still got April 1 for the actual rejections though…</p>
<p>I’m 4 for 10 so far, not a single rejection, but I’ve only heard back from the “easy” schools so far, not quite safeties, but I’d have been a bit surprised by a rejection. Still, I’ve got HY Columbia Georgetown Tufts and U of Edinburgh to hear from. There WILL be a rejection in there somewhere.</p>
<p>I just hope I can take it as well as you all seem to be!
My plan is, I’m going to get myself really pysched about the schools that accepted me, so the crapshoot schools won’t crush me too hard when they say, “uh uh, no way jose, we don’t want YOU”</p>
<p>aypark: Saw on another thread that you were admitted to Emory?? (Assuming “essence of Emory” invite?) But waitlisted at GW…Weird???</p>
<p>I just got rejected by NYU. They were at the bottom of my list of colleges due to financial aid but it still sux to get rejected. Life goes on. 3 out of 5 for acceptances so far and still have four more to go. Ur a great person. Ur going to a great college. U will accomplish great things in life. This is a pitiful attempt to cheer myself up lol. Good luck fellow CC’rs :)!</p>
<p>cdog, I was also rejected by NYU. Even if your post didn’t work for you, maybe you’ll take solace in knowing that it helped someone else. I’ve been saying the exact same things to myself all day long and it hasn’t been working so well. Not feeling so good about the letters coming later this week, but I guess I’ll have to suck it up. It’s not the end of the world…</p>
<p>so i have been rejected to almost all of the UC’s i applied to. My grades are terrible. which UC has the highest acception rate after appeal? should i do it?</p>
<p>cdog08 + emily83190 - I was also rejected by NYU (Stern) and it was my first rejection. It isn’t as big of a deal for me though due to the lack of financial aid offered by NYU so I wouldn’t have been able to attend. It still sucks to receive a rejection though.</p>
<p>For those who are receiving news through email, do you have a sense of what silence might mean when you read posts that others have been receiving emails (both acceptances and waitlists) for several days? Do acceptances go out first?</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat, rejected by NYU (my first rejection) cdog your post did make me think a bit more positive. :] I figure there is a reason for not getting accepted, even though rejection just hurts. I find it hardest to tell my family especially my parents because whatever they say it seems to make it worse</p>
<p>I got rejected from Stanford SCEA back in December, and I didn’t feel too bad, so no sweat! You’re not the only one who doesn’t feel too crummy.</p>
<p>I am a mom and would really like to hear from all of you–what are the best things to say/do when a dearly loved son or daughter gets rejected?</p>
<p>My son is a brilliant kid (760 verbal, 690 math) who is also a successful actor. He gave priority to his acting and his grades showed it. Two C’s last spring, 2 C’s at midyear. Fortunately, he was accepted very early at one of his favorite schools, St. John’s in Santa Fe. But now the rejections seem to come streaming in. Here is his current status:</p>
<p>Rejected: Chicago, Stanford, Kenyon, Reed, Berkeley, UCSD, Claremont McKenna
Waitlisted: Pitzer
Accepted: UCSB, UCSantaCruz, Northern Arizona, Northeastern (with huge merit scholarship)</p>
<p>He is acting very calm and unemotional but I know that on the inside he’s really hurting. What is the best thing to say/do?</p>
<p>My rejection was more of an ego blow than anything else. I really don’t feel that upset, just a little jealous?</p>
<p>Tell him that college itself is a new and exciting experience, that he’ll have a great time at any of these places. Plus, Northeastern is a great schooland with a huge merit scholarship, the bright side is he’ll graduate with less debt that most people.</p>

<p>NotAHostess- Unfortunatley there is not really anything you can do that will make him feel much better. It sorta helps when a parent just reminds u that u still have good colleges to choose from and that your child will be happy at any college they attend. Hope that helps!</p>
