<p>i hope your teacher was joking</p>
<p>For those wondering about Stanford, I got rejected, but was admitted to Yale Early Action.</p>
<p>Hopefully I’ll see some of you Stanford rejects on the Yale admitted student site soon, and we can commiserate about how silly Stanford was =p.</p>
<p>So, so… Stanford Early Action Deferred and then rejected people stand a shot at Yale?</p>
<p>I heard about some guy who didn’t get into UT austin but made it into princeton or something. anything can happen…</p>
<p>uyulove, don’t you ever think that UT austin is better than Pnnceton. UT honors adcom thought that the guy is too good for UT and will not accept admission there anyway. UT should not reserve a seat for anyone who will not matriculate there. My son was accepted to Caltech and Duke but rejected from UT (safety school); that does’nt mean that UT beats them.
In a million year UT cannot reach them.</p>
<p>^that sounds just a tad bit bitter. is your son in-state for ut? if not, then that’s probably why he was rejected.</p>
<p>We live in Austin, TX</p>
<p>it’s probably because he wasn’t in the top ten percent of his class and therefore was not an auto-admit.</p>
<p>hpa10, his rank is 4 out of 378 i.e about 1%. Please check my old posts for his stats. His magnet high school is very competitive, so UT admits top 20%.</p>
<p>then i have no clue why he was not accepted. it’s a law that if your top 10% at a public school here, any public university in texas must accept you. i would take ut-austin over duke (because i don’t like duke) but i would take caltech over ut anyday. congratulations to your son.</p>
<p>My son was rejected from UT honors program. For all honors admissions e.g engineering honors, dean scholar, plan II, pharmacy, UT does’nt follow the 10% rule.</p>
<p>so hopefullybright, did you finally get in</p>
<p>lol geez i never said UT austin was better than princeton. wth thinks that? I was saying anything can happen!</p>
