<p>Dande114, I'm sorry to hear about your deferral and your friend's acceptance. Hang in there and I hope you get in.</p>
<p>:) thanks guys. ill just have to grow up and realize that hey...karma is a *****. you wont get everything you ask for in life and i am a better person knowing i worked my butt off and didnt get in thanks to my parents. </p>
<p>that is hard to say now because i want cornell so badly, but i know it will ring true in my future.</p>
<p>He will probably have a really hard time academically at Cornell...
And I really don't believe he didn't send in ANY test scores, probably just a flat out lie to cover himself in case he DIDNT get in.</p>
<p>Sorry about your deferall - still a chance though!!</p>
<p>no no....he really did not send in any test scores. his brother is at cornell and his bro's advisor is a major admissions person. </p>
<p>but i know he will have a hard time academically and he will always have to live with that fact that he didnt really deserve to be accepted. some poor kid who worked really really hard was rejected because of him and he will always have to live with that.</p>
<p>Pretty harsh words to someone who you consider your best friend, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a damn whether he deserved to be accepted or not.</p>
<p>Sorry you didn't get the results you wanted, but life isn't fair, what can I say.</p>
<p>haha he is my best friend and i told him all that to him and he was fine with it because he knows that he doesnt deserve it. he is happy because he is accepted but he feels badly still. and i know that because regardless if my words are harsh or not, we talk and are honest. </p>
<p>life isnt fair. i know and ive accepted this. thats life, after all. no matter what happens, i have my motivation and work ethic to serve me so it will be ok.</p>
<p>i agree with cornell75 on that one..i hate boasters</p>
<p>damnnn. That kid is definitely being annoying about it. U do still have a chance tho...I mean you still can get it. I'm sorry to hear that tho but just keep trying hard and you'll have a great time in college no matter what and no matter where that is. GL in RD!!!!!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>you guys make me feel better than my best friend. as pathetic as that is. i am talking to him now and he is being all inspirational and everything...but it isnt the same. ill never forget today. hahaahah that sounds really apocalyptic.</p>
<p>i seriously think that someone as smart n motivated as u would succeed anywhere. This kid will only get what he puts into cornell...so if he isnt used to earning things in his life he won't get what others would. Obviously it's good for him but if wat u say about u two is correct u will get more out of ur college experience than he will no matter where he goes. It suxxx I know, but u'll get into a tonnn of great colleges and could still get into Cornell. I know that ur going to feel bad right now but just be happy that u didn't get rejected cuz that would suck even more lol</p>
<p>haha figgy you sound like my mom. thank you for your two cents. im planning and going to do all that is possible for acceptance....and i know that in the long run, a certain degree can only get you so far. ill do the rest.</p>
<p>thanks everyone.</p>
<p>if he is posting his acceptance letter on facebook, then he is a huge a-hole</p>
<p>he told me he would take it down and i told him no...he should celebrate.</p>
<p>but he is jewish and is coming to my house for christmas and my mom and dad told me to tell him that if he even MENTIONS the name cornell in my household, he is in for quite a lecture from my parents. my parents are more upset with it than i am.</p>
<p>what does being jewish have to do with anything?</p>
<p>because if you are jewish you dont celebrate christmas...hence why he is coming to my house. he wants to see what christmas is all about lol</p>
<p>i wasnt just putting in that he was jewish for kicks</p>
<p>^haha</p>
<p>ya tell him that ur happy for him but to just try to not talk about it when ur around b/c ur still anticipating a final decision from Cornell. That's great ur having him over for xmas tho...it should be a lot of fun! ps i love when parents get protective like that haha</p>
<p>lol figgy you made me laugh. i am happy for him and we will talk about it, just not around my parents haha.</p>
