<p>HI I got Accepted into U of Pitt, Ithaca, and U of Rochestor
I am waiting on all of the Ivy's and Northwestern and NYU.
One of my closest friends did nto get accepted to Ithaca early decision and I did but its a safety for me. She knows that but she keeps on asking whether i got in should i just tell her no and let it be becuase she really wanted to go there and plans on transferring after her first year at Boulder in Colorado. I know i shouldnt feel bad but i like Ithaca it just wasnt my first choice and she keeps on badgering me about it. Neway where did some other people get in and did anybody hear back from U of Chicago regular decision yet.</p>
<p>Hey, You’re going off to college. Just be honest and let the poor girl know you got in. You don’t have to apologize or celebrate…just let her know.</p>
<p>She’s one of your closest friends? For goodness sake, tell her you got in. Just don’t gloat!</p>
<p>When she asks you where you’re going, you can say “I’m still waiting to hear from other schools.” When you finally have all your acceptances in, you can tell her “I’ve decided to go to ______. I think that’s the best choice for me.”</p>
<p>Wherever she gets in, and wherever she decides to attend, be supportive, enthusiastic, and sincere, and give her heartfelt congratulations. And then talk about how great it’ll be to go to college.</p>
<p>Yeah, I felt a tad guilty too, using a number of dream colleges as my safeties.</p>
<p>But, you deserved to be accepted, and if your friend were really a friend, she wouldn’t resent you in the slightest.</p>
<p>“if your friend were really a friend, she wouldn’t resent you in the slightest.”</p>
<p>I don’t know about that. Humans are allowed to have unflattering emotions like envy and bitterness sometimes. That goes double for teenage humans. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t real friends.</p>
<p>I’d say that if she’s really a friend, this won’t hurt your friendship in the long term. But she might be resentful toward you for a few weeks, and that’s understandable. She’ll probably get over it during the summer, and you should forgive and forget.</p>
<p>Huh? How have you avoided answering her question all this time? Anyways, just tell her. She should get over it if she gets ****ed. If not, you’ll make new friends in college.</p>
<p>Omg I have the same problem cause my friend and I both applied to NYU and I got in and she didn’t so I felt kinda bad, but I ended up telling her. I guess it’s a bit different in your situation but since I’m going to NYU I had no choice to tell her I. She was really great about it and your friend will be too.</p>
<p>I agree with the above posters… definitely be honest and tell her you got in, after all it’s the truth 
If I was her i’d appreciate your sincerity. </p>
<p>Also, when did you hear from ithaca? I feel like I have been waiting to hear from them for forever!</p>
