<p>Thanks for the advice, everyone! But even if I somehow got into MIT, I probably wouldn’t go there as I’m a premed, so I’ve decided to not get too worked up. </p>
<p>@natim - That’s why I’m so surprised that they didn’t get a hint. I thought withdrawing MIT from my rankings would only affect the match process, not my entire regular decision application.</p>
<p>I’m a premed too! Don’t worry about it. I’m sure you will end up somewhere awesome.</p>
<p>aceking: I did the same thing you did but with a different college and they are accepting all of my application materials. I withdrew from Amherst and they have an account for me and they have accepted everything I’ve sent them.</p>
<p>omg. ok so the teacher who wrote my rec, he wrote one for a previous QB applicant as well. and when i went to ask him to write my thing he told me it was for students who r 1st generation college students. and so i fiured he was just trying to avoid talking about money. so now, hes telling me that he told a junior about the program and how i got into princeton (even thoug i told him not to tell ppl, bc i hate when ppl are all up in my business ya know?) and if i thought he should do it. and i tried to say as subtely/politely as i could that no, i think hed be better off doing EA or ED somewhere. because hes not poor okay! and the teacher was like, his parents can “swing” it, but he deserves money, just like you do. OKAY. first off, i deserve money and i could get scholarship money, i got a freaking full scholarship to emory okay? but this is financial aid, not merit aid. this kids dad makes at least 80k a year (thats the average entry level salary at the company where he works and i figure hes been working there pretty long) and he is a single child. his mom drives a lexus suv. our situations are NO WHERE near similar. asdlkjfWOEFSAF.</p>
<p>edit: i didnt say the thing about “because hes not poor” to his face. i said that QB is a lot more competitive. and his chances are probably better doing EA or ED.</p>
<p>19 days until april first!!!
=)</p>
<p>19.5 hrs until 2:00 EDT tomorrow</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>yeah…MIT decision…</p>
<p>so intense…
Pi Day…</p>
<p>Happy Pi day everyone :D! What a day for MIT decision.</p>
<p>got waitlisted at MIT… ; (</p>
<p>rejected for MIT. Life goes on.</p>
<p>lol im still really hoping for yale or princeton, but after the MIT Massacre today, im anticipating another slew of rejections on April 1</p>
<p>I got rejected at MIT. So now I’m worried that I have no appeal aside from being a low income student (because I got matched to Princeton, which I did not expect AT ALL). I get that admissions are a potshoot. But I can’t help feeling this way especially since it was really hard for me to apply through QB because I didn’t want any advantages due to my economic status you know? I wanted to get into college as me, for my strengths, weaknesses, accomplishments, etc. Not because of race, or a name, or money, etc.</p>
<p>well, natim1: The fact that you’ve overcome difficulties as a low-income students is just one of the criteria for college match. If QB colleges had just based their decisions on the economic background of students, they would have matched a lot of finalists last December. So dont worry that you were matched with Princeton because of your income only. And please remember that you’re luckier than most of us here.</p>
<p>yeah man, if i got a full ride to princeton, i wouldn’t even bother looking at my MIT decision…you are so lucky, congrats!</p>
<p>I don’t care about the reasons as to why I am accepted; I just hope to be accepted somewhere I actually want to go.</p>
<p>^agreed. hopefully we all get in!</p>
<p>Just heard back from my first QB school! It wasn’t a no, but wasn’t a yes. I think that without QB, it would’ve been a definite no, so I’m pretty content.</p>
<p>got into U chicago n a likely from Williams!! but still waiting for the Ivies…</p>
<p>N yeah Natim I think I would have gotten in elsewhere, perhaps not Yale or Stanford SCEA, but someplace else cuz I htink my scores are not that bad.</p>
