Decision: Rejected

I actually haven’t seen anything on “Where am I?” or gotten an e-mail/letter, but I think there’s very good empirical evidence that nothing on “Where am I?” = rejection.

Stats:[ list]
[] SAT: 2170
[] SAT IIs:800, 740, 710
[] GPA (uw/w): 3.4/4.1
[] Rank: top 20%, bad for my school
[/list][ b]Subjective:**[ul]
[] Essays: Okay, but kind of risky. Might have turned them off. Big science fiction theme. 
[] Teacher Recs: both from math teachers, probably good though
[] Counselor Rec: Probably good
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[] State or Country: Maryland
[] School Type: public, non-competitive
[] Ethnicity: White
[li] Gender: Male [/ul]Other Factors?:[/li]
**General Comments: Ugh, I have to say that Carnegie Mellon really came as a surprise to me. I was honestly expecting very much to get in here. Whenever I start to feel bad about the rejections, though, I just remember that there are tons of other people out there who have worked much harder than me throughout high school, and deserve to go to a great college much more than me as well. I also try to remember that college will be what I make of it, and that no matter where I go to college I can be sure that it will be better than High School **

@al6200:
I know for sure I got in but I still haven’t gotten my update on “Where am I” either. Don’t lose all hope yet.
