<p>I ive gotten two rejects from my 3 and 4 schools and a waitlist from my 5 school and i still haven’t heard from Andover and Deerfield, and its killing me cuz I LOVE Andover. I want to go there so bad. The thought of going to my school next year REALLY depresses me :(</p>
<p>I just found that Deerfield probably waitlisted or rejected me because I haven’t gotten any letters yet.
I guess should start seeing what opportunities the local high school offers.
I am the annual loser!</p>
<p>I got my passport Americanized just for that reason.</p>
<p>Absolutely NO news from four of my schools, rejected from Exeter, waitlisted for my last pick. Wonderful…</p>
<p>Congratz about Peddie!, but I have to force myself to step away from the slight coaxing to attend there projectiled at you. Think about these questions:
Do you really want to go there and spend 4 years fo your life there?
Do you think it’ll be worth it there?
Are you impressed with the community/academics/sports?
Is this what you imagined baording school to be like?
Do you feel compelled to the people/faculty there?
If answers to questions such as those are no… then it might not be the option for you… do not decide in haste and later regret your decision. AND most importantly do not go there as your last resort…attitude is a small thing that can make a big difference… and if your attitude towards that school is naturally unwilling and hestitant-you know what will follow.</p>
<p>Why would you apply to a school, if you wouldn’t attend if you were accepted???</p>
<p>I got 4 rejections and 1 waitlist. I would switch places if you want to.</p>
<p>Dont worry BobtheCow… don’t give hope. 4 more schools!</p>
<p>at least you got accepted somewhere (w/FA)!!! me= 4 rejections 1 waitlist and one acceptance w/ the option of waitlist so there could be a chance of FA. So all of those are basically rejections :(</p>
<p>I got accepted to one school with no FA… Rejected at my first and last pick.</p>
<p>ugh… who else just wants to curl up in a ball and cry and cry?</p>
<p>already did that! my mom yelled at me when i did lol</p>
<p>Did it too… everything is just so awful.</p>
<p>Agreed. What were your results? Sorry to bring it up but I’m curious…</p>
<p>I tried, but then I fell asleep, :p</p>
<p>baha same 411, I’ve gotten more sleep in these 2 days than like a normal week ha</p>
<p>Hi 
I was denied by both Exeter and Andover. Being someone who never really shows her real emotions, I just acted indifferently in front of my parents. Inside was a really different story. I kept thinking yesterday; the thought of being rejected devastated me! Yesterday afternoon, after coming back from school, I hurriedly went to my sanctuary: my sofa. I cried, and sobbed, and cried some more. I thought I was a decent candidate.
Several minutes later, my thought changed. It wasn’t ‘oh my god, I’m uber depressed my future is ruined I’m a nobody’, more like ‘perhaps it’s just not my way. I AM a nobody, yet. But I WILL be a somebody.’
That night, instead of sobbing, I reviewed all my applications, and wrote down lists of ‘Dos and Don’ts’ and ‘current to-do list’.
I had matured a million time faster by getting these rejections. Experiencing the disappointment, overcoming those sad feelings were my biggest steps this year. It’s true that those prestigious schools may help you defining yourself, but it’s not them that define you. It’s always you. Who said you couldn’t be someone great by attending your current, crappy school?
Yesterday I learned to act like a baby and a rubber ball: a baby for its persistency in not giving up learning, and ‘the rubber ball philosophy: the more I fall, the higher I’ll bounce and thrive’.
This morning, I was glad I was rejected. It taught me lessons which many accepted applicants might never experience. :)</p>
<p>Wow, that’s a really inspiring story Monochrome. 
I basically did the same thing but w/o writing. Nice.</p>
<p>but then I tought: IMAGINE COLLEGE O.O when it’s our turn to apply things will be even NORE cutthroat than they are! o.o</p>
<p>That’s AMAZING Monochrome!!</p>
<p>I kept thinking “What did I do wrong? Why not me? How come them and not me!?” But then I realized I applied for the 11th grade and for full FA. That pretty much ruined my chances from the start. But I had fun and I learned alot and I met some RAD people, lol, so im feeling better</p>
