<p>So yeah… mixed feelings. I think I’m not as high achieving as they want. Anyways, this thread will be for next year’s hopefuls so they can compare, so share your stats!</p>
<p>SAT: 1960
SAT II: 720, 650
GPA: 3.8/4.4
Rank: 18/662</p>
<p>Editor of yearbook, President of mediation/mentoring organization, MUN gavels, Varsity Tennis, 300+ hours of service.</p>
<p>gah did you apply ed? … rd decisions arent online yet</p>
<p>haha yeah, that’s what I thought too… decisions would be online tonight, right? and then we would get mail correspondence later on? Well sure enough, those tricky CMC adcoms… they also sent out decisions in the mail today, as it was waiting for me when I checked the post this morning.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted. Got the letter by mail.</p>
<p>I got wait listed also. I then quickly filled out the card saying that I did not care to be on the list, and sent it back :)</p>
<p>Waitlisted with a 4.2 GPA,1700 SAT. I’m happy because CMC was such a reach for my anyway. I get rejected fro Cal and Pitzer, I’m staying on.</p>
<p>mehhh,</p>
<p>That is quite surprisingly, to say the least. You were rejected from Pitzer and placed on the waitlist for CMC? This comes as a surprise because CMC is much more difficult to get into.</p>
<p>i live on the east coast so i guess that explains why i didn’t get any mail yet</p>
<p>mehhh … did you say you were rejected from pitzer? or are saying “if” you are rejected … i applied there too and am curious to know if they already started mailing letters</p>
<p>OPPPS I meant to put IF*
My waitlist at CMC seems to give me an upperhand at Pitzer. However, I’ve visited both schools twice (once for a tour, another for an interview. ) So I think it’s obvious that I have strong interest in both schools. I’m happy about CMC because my stats (by that I mean SAT scores) were way lower than the median and I feel like I’m gonna get into Pitzer. After all, Pitzer is SAT optional and such, thus that negativity is eliminated from my application. But I don’t wanna jinx myself, and not get into a 5-C.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cal decisions are out already? I thought they were coming out tomorrow…?</p>
<p>Yeah…well I was rejected with these stats below. Does anyone know if there is an appeal process or anything? CMC was my dream school…</p>

<p>Again, IF. I feel bad, the guy above me got much better stats than me. Though, CMC was originally my dream school. Once again, I have YET to hear from Pitzer or Cal. I was really shaky when I was typing my first message. lol.</p>
<p>CMC is huge on the essays. You can, literally, write your way into the school. If you got rejected with those stats, chances are your essays were lacking.</p>
<p>that makes me nervous because my essays weren’t so hot.</p>
<p>two minutes…</p>
<p>rejected- I was expecting that. GPA 4.0 w, 3.7 uw. ACT 30 ( english 34, math 29, cr 30, science 27). Lots of ECs that I don’t feel like listing, gold award project, lots of awards/recognition in instrumental music, pretty good essays I thought, good recs. Congrats on all who got in!!</p>
<p>waitlisted.</p>
