Why you think you were accepted/wait listed/denied: No clue!
Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: It seems like the majority of people I know who truly deserved to get accepted were not. I’m wondering what on Earth is going on. Any who, to all of those who got accepted, WOOHOO, we did it! However, if you didn’t, DO NOT STRESS! There are so many schools that still have decisions coming up, (as we all know) and I have heard several people on other threads say that they got rejected at UCLA but into Stanford, Cal, MIT, Harvard, etc.</p>
