<p>MATCHED WITH PRINCETON =]</p>
<p>didn’t get matched. oh well, RD round, here i come!</p>
<p>wow LOTS of princeton ppl here</p>
<p>I heard last year there were 31 Princeton matches. 0_o
I think earlier it was said that there are only like 12 or 13 this year.</p>
<p>there were only 12 matched with princeton =]</p>
<p>Just wondering, but do you think people in college make fun of people for being poor? Perhaps I’m jaded because of the high school I go to (tiny, pretty much the top 1% of the income bracket, people make fun of ppl who don’t drive brand new cars, and the biggest ******bags make fun of ppl who don’t drive luxury cars).</p>
<p>Back from telling my friends and family. You know what kind of sucks though? I don’t have any way to celebrate.</p>
<p>@spiritual: </p>
<p>“@natim1: I meant that QB (the QB colleges anyway) rejected so many great people, especially Code H. Not that the people who did get matched aren’t awesome either . I just hope that lots of people get in RD.”</p>
<p>spiritual, i know you mean well (and thank you for that), but please don’t say things like that. there is a reason why i was rejected and others accepted…yes it ****ing sucks…but i respect the colleges’ decision (or at least i’ll try to)</p>
<p>@Get<em>to</em>College
I pm’ed you</p>
<p>maybe this will all work out</p>
<p>Match Recipients - can one of you post your letter or at least the stats that were written in them about # of ppl in each school, # matched vs finalists?</p>
<p>@natim: I don’t really know but I should hope not. No one’s probably that childish in college, or they just don’t really care. It’s not like in high school where kids hang out in groups during school, I guess college kids just leave or do whatever. Anyways, there’s lots of people in college; there’s no reason anyone should single you out just because you’re “poor”. And a last thought: isn’t the economy bad overall now? Everyone’s “poor” to some extent. No need to make fun of anyone.</p>

<p>lol. i want to cry my heart out, but i just can’t.
i’ve accepted it, but i just can’t bring myself to let it out…</p>
<p>congratulations to all those who are matched. i called my two best friends after receiving the news and i talked to each for almost an hour. one of the things that was said was that this is a learning experience; this is life, guys! don’t downplay this rejection, because it is true, the colleges did not want you through Questbridge. there is always a reason for everything, and there is a reason why you are rejected. accept it and don’t feel suicidal over it, but don’t let others sugarcoat things for you; we are lacking something! the colleges saw something in the kids that got in that they did not see in us!</p>
<p>accept it! something is wrong with us!</p>
<p>you may ask why i am saying all of this. well, the reason is that the only way to accept this and truly move on is to fully and unconditionally accept your failure. because it is only when you know that you are not good enough right now will you want to work like you’ve never worked before to prove to the colleges or to yourself that they are wrong.</p>
<p>best of luck everyone. i guess i just went through shock, and denial and now i am heading towards the end of griefing. sure, i’ll cry a little (for that is only human) and think of what if, but i must move on, and you guys too! we have to move on…it is not even an option…</p>
<p>Random hook ups and alcohol don’t sound like a good time to me.</p>
