<p>cornell theory wasn't what time you got your email. it was the time posted on the site once you check it. my email was 12:50 something, but the time posted is 1:06.</p>
<p>this is the third waitlist I've ended up on. apparently colleges are filling vast waitlists, accepting conservatively this year because they accepted too many last year. stupid yield protection.</p>
<p>2nd waitlist for me.. and all in about 12 hours..</p>
<p>well this isn't very nice of cmu....that's for sure...</p>
<p>I'm going to sue CMU for causing me psychological trauma.</p>
<p>i remmebered when i ED cornell, the was suppose to be up 5 pm.. ya, system glitched and it was online at like 8? people were freaking out</p>
<p>Id like to think they sat around a table and placed bets on how many times they could get people to refersh their web browsers. Someone on the CMU admissions staff will now be $50 richer tonite at your expense.</p>
<p>This is a lot worse than that, though.</p>
<p>That was a three hour delay, and it was for everyone. </p>
<p>This was a two day delay, and it was for only the people who got waitlisted or rejected. (well, mostly, stupidkid being the sole exception)</p>
<p>true...i doubt the conspiracy about cornell though....</p>
<p>I just don't understand how i was outright rejected. 3.7 gpa, hardest curriculum, 33 act, a bunch of college math classes, spent weeks on my essays, really good recs, a bunch of ECs with leadership positions.....</p>
<p>I doubt the conspiracy theory about cornell will be true....There's a huge thread on the berkeley forum talking about people receiving different versions of an email or not receiving that turned out to be false.</p>
<p>I think 2nd wave is a euphemism for rejection.</p>
<p>it's been a crazy year, acatinahat. things that should not have happened happened to the best of us. unfortunately nobody will ever be able to answer your question directly, but hopefully you'll make of college what you can, and succeed. i was in your situation for EA at UChicago, did wonders with that app. hopefully you have other good options.</p>
<p>accepted yay!
I got the IN magazine but no blank line, no msc call.</p>
<p>Rejected.</p>
<p>Well guys, after all this, it has been fun... I'm going to now be busy forgetting carnegie ... :(</p>
<p>I'll be busy going to a school for retards, since I haven't gotten into any good schools.</p>
<p>Oh well, it was a fun run while it lasted. I used to like to think that I was smart, but colleges have proved otherwise.</p>
<p>wow 2 in out of a bunch of waitlisted + rejects..</p>
<p>look at the bright side guys.. You will all probably get better financial aid at the school you will end up at.. and you won't have a mascot named "Tart"! You will most likely succeed wherever you go so try getting into an amazing graduate school.</p>
<p>well....i didn't think anything like this would happen...</p>
<p>waitlisted
stanford here i come</p>
