Any other rejectees feel my pain?

<p>But hey what can you do about it?
Questbridge is such a crapshoot.</p>

<p>collegehopeful, live up to your name! This isn't the end game - college admissions is something of a crap shoot for everyone, and everyone needs to apply to a range of colleges that they like. Naturally it is painful to be denied, but Stanford isn't the only college you will be happy at. Trite but true - more than 85% of students are happy with the college they end up at by Thanksiving, whether or not it was their first choice. </p>

<p>So time to look ahead - where else are you applying?</p>

<p>collegehopeful, i feel ya, I feel the exact same</p>

<p>Yeah I just got finished sending off emails to all my Questbridge RD choices! I went through the whole grief process in like 7 hours and now its time to rev it up again for RD.</p>

<p>these are the schools I am applying to:</p>

<p>Boston College
Brown University
Columbia University
Cornell University
CUNY Honors College
Duke University
University of Pittsburgh
Pomona College
Princeton University
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Stanford University
SUNY Stony Brook
SUNY Buffalo
Stanford University
Yale University</p>

<p>That's a really good llist, in a number of geographies and with a range of selectivity, but all really strong schools. I am sure you are going to have some great choices come April 1. Have you finished the apps yet? If not, time to get cracking - you'll feel better once you focus on the going forward part. grtskt89 is exactly right on that.</p>

<p>You still have other colleges that are excellent on your list.<br>
BTW were you e-mailed the decision?</p>

<p>Yeah I was.
Rejected from Yale too.
Someone in my school matched with Stanford though.</p>

<p>Well my Stanford and Yale apps will be fowarded for RD automatically.
I can't really say I cared for Yale. It was just there. I feel science and economics is too weak over there. But I have always dreamed of Princeton or Stanford so Hopefully me and the other Qb finalists will have better luck in RD.</p>

<p>What is questbridge anyway? Is the Yale SCEA decision out already?</p>

<p>Can someone pls explain?</p>
