Also, it stinks but the truth is, some people get reject from Olin for the same reason they do from Harvard, or MIT or any other schools with low acceptance ratings…because there are not enough spots for all the amazing people that apply. And, while some schools like Harvard might have enough of an endowment that they could admit many more than they do, Olin cannot afford to let everyone in who is amazing and still give full tuition scholarships and have great teachers, etc on our current endowment. Also, part of what makes Olin great is the community, which would be very different if Olin was much bigger. So I know it doesn’t help much if you got rejected, but Olin couldn’t accept everyone who loves Olin or everyone who is a fit, there is a size issue.

I hope all of you who did not get invited to CW go onto to schools you truly love and have great experiences there.
