Admission Decision 2015

<p>Waitlisted, but already accepted at UCB and UCLA…:)</p>

<p>LOL, my mom was like…who cares about any school other than Berkeley?</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!!!
And I would take Vassar over Berkeley any time of the day!</p>

<p>@PRKid, that SUCKS!!! big time!!!</p>

<p>Waitlisted ! I’m actually happy about this because I thought I was going to be flat out denied lol</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in :slight_smile: I’m still debating whether or not to accept my spot on the waitlist. I’ll see what happens with the rest of my results.</p>

<p>Hoping for better news from Whitman tonight, but after the initial annoyance wore off I don’t really care - I’m in at Wellesley and Smith, and neither of those would be at all a loss :)</p>

<p>No go! Denied! Rejected! Sad me D: but I’ve gotten into Mount Holyoke AND Smith (woo!) and I still have Wellesley, Barnard and Columbia…I’ll be fine!</p>

<p>Really, really ****ing disappointed. Rejected.</p>

<p>I was rejected. </p>

<p>I was prepping for it, but it still sucks. Vassar was pretty much my top choice. I’m bracing for a rejection from Midd tomorrow. We’ll see what Oberlin has to say when I get that letter. </p>

<p>I know I’m terrible at math, but I honestly don’t understand why I’ve been rejected from all of the LACs. I guess a lot of people feel similarly. </p>

<p>Cheers to all who got in!</p>

<p>rejected but oh wells. I have UCLA! :D</p>

<p>Waitlisted… Kind of surprised, but more weirded out. If I had a college I’d never waitlist people, just reject or deny them. Rejected from Wesleyan, accepted to McGill and Wheaton, all within 5 hours! Crazyyyy… I didn’t want to go to Vassar very much anyhow, and I’ve got a lot more colleges up my sleeve. Hope everyone’s happy with their decisions:)</p>

<p>Oh and recruited at Oberlin :slight_smile: got an email from the president</p>

<p>I just got the acceptance email from Whitman :slight_smile: That’s my 6th acceptance, so I guess accepting me is just too mainstream for a hipster school like Vassar.</p>

Reflection
Strengths: GPA, Leadership
Weaknesses: I’m not math-y. But to all of you who feel like you have to take AP sciences and maths to get in to these schools, YOU DON’T. Just be yourself.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I worked my a s s off.</p>

<p>PS: I also got into NYU, BU, and UVM (so far). I got waitlisted at Wesleyan, but I hate it anyway so it’s fitting that they didn’t choose me. Unless I (miraculously) get into Brown, Columbia, or Yale, I will be seeing y’all in the fall!!! XOXO.</p>

<p>What’s with all these people getting in RD at Vassar and getting waitlisted at Wesleyan? Are they trying to push their acceptances rate down and increase their matriculation rate?</p>

<p>Vassar and Wesleyan are close match schools, but in a way different. The student bodies for each are the same, but at the same time, just very different.</p>

<p>@WinnLK: Tough luck on Bard. You should have heard back from SLC by now. They sent out the letters and all.</p>
