<p>Up until March 10th, anyone feeling like they are going to be rejected from a BS should post on this thread. Make sure you say why you are feeling bad, and everyone else can comfort you (unless you really suck). </p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>I am so not getting into Hotchkiss. My interview was terrible and my essays stunk.</p>
<p>I’m from an over-represented area and I need full FA.</p>
<p>Hey stargirl , schools like to be able to say we have xxx-that’s amount of people on fa and our average grant size is blah blah blah.</p>
<p>I am so not getting into Exeter because I have a C+ on my transcript and I need full FA. I am also applying as an upper.</p>
<p>I know I am about to sound like the ultimate hypocrite, but we are all amazing. NEVER forget that you applied. You have tried to better your education. You stuck it out through a process that the majority of your peers would have given up on.</p>
<p>I don’t really like this thread because there’s nothing you can do now. If you applied, you probably tried your best or else you wouldn’t spend months on a grueling application. And lamenting on a forum definitely won’t make you feel better or help pass the time. Anything can happen. Maybe you have mediocre SSAT’s, decent essays, but you’re an underwater tuba player, which Deerkiss needs. They might pick you over a person with perfect SSAT’s, amazing essays, but s/he happens to be a parachuting violinist, which Deerkiss happens to have 15. Anything can happen!</p>
<p>LaDiwhatevertherestofyourusernameis, thank you. That is beautiful.</p>
<p>@squash, I know, but that doesn’t mean they’ll pick me from the FA pool. :)</p>
<p>Same here, stargirl. It’ll be a long 49 days…</p>
<p>I don’t get the point of this thread. To me, like sincostan, we tried our best.</p>
<p>There is no need for this. It just exacerbates the misery.</p>
<p>In your opinion, can an amazing interview and amazing essays "save " one?</p>
<p>I think interviews and essays are the most important part of applications, and if they are both amazing, dont worry.</p>
<p>The interviews were great, essays were mediocre, recs were probably not amazing but not horrible I guess, transcripts weren’t great (low 1-7 high) i got mostly 4 and 5, a two 6 and one 7</p>
<p>Millbrook and Pomfret are my top choices, I love these schools so much</p>
