Same. If i don’t get in I think I’ll cry for weeks. And then try to transfer. But I don’t think I can take it anymore honestly. I’m so numb to rejection
Like, we poured our hearts out into all of these essays and did all we could and it still isn’t enough. I literally laughed when I saw my 8th rejection

And the thing is - I don’t even know what I did wrong. I had great essays (had a coach), 4.0 check, 1550 SAT check, ISEF, Harvard research, worked at UN, wrote for the NYT, spoke and published research at intl journals and conferences. I feel so numb. It’s like I told someone all of my hopes and goals and they said no. You’re not worth it
good luck!!! pls know that someone out there (me) is wishing you the best

Yeah, I don’t even know anymore. I’m feeling so numb. I barely got myself out of bed this morning to school, I didn’t eat or sleep. Cal is a great school but I feel sad that many of my classmates with 3.6 gpa are ending up at the same place as me. I will try to transfer bc I won’t give up as I have worked this hard but it stings

Me too. A lot of people at my school are going to UF with way worse stats than me. Like I understand it’s a good school and I should be thankful but I thought I worked hard enough to make it to somewhere better

sorry just saw this symsys with interview but im international so its over for me nooooooooooo
And I didn’t even have a Stanford interview. I’ve lost all motivation now. I had all of these big goals and now I just feel like going to college, finishing and working at a fast food job lol.

I didn’t have one either. I got an MIT interview (which was amazing and lasted 2+ hours) and no others, and it didn’t even matter lol

its okay stanford’s interview is purely based on availability. im sure you’ll get in!!
Interviews can only hurt or help
Everything said in an interview is noted. Those that say it does nothing are quite delusional
Nah but I think it’s over for me. The downfall of the ISEF winner. Goodbye College Confidential
Its not bro
