<p>This week (this DAY in particular) sucks and the best way to end a sucky week is to go to school this Saturday morning to take an AP Calculus practice exam wowow!! i’m so lucky!!!</p>
<p>crap. It’s ironic how today in psychology my class was talking about how it really doesn’t matter where you go to college (sorta)–in the end we’ll all be okay. As much as I want to feel that way right now, it hurts. Other ‘rejectees’–i feel ya!</p>
<p>I’m curious, where are you all going now? Me, I’m still waiting on 4 “reach” schools… wow I hope I get into one of them. :P</p>
<p>I just got rejected from Yale and Brown, so in about a 15 second time span I got rejected to 2 schools. I logged in at the same time on two computers. </p>
<p>This really sucks. I wanted to go to Brown more than anything.</p>
<p>Don't feel bad. From a rejectee to other rejectees, dust yourself up and move on. Do not let the rejection affect how you perceive yourself. You all are amazing people. I have been ocassionally posting and lurking on this section of the board, and I know that you all will make it work for you. I have seen the passion, the great humor, and wonderful posters that are on here. It sucks getting rejection, especially if you had Brown as your dream school for a long time. The feeling will gradually go away as May 1st comes along, and it will become a dim memory.</p>
<p>Personally, Brown was not my dream school. I have no dream schools, because I knew that most of the colleges on my list were "crapshoots". Right now, I have narrowed it down to USC, Rice, WUSTL, and UMD-College Park, and I am waiting on another reach school.</p>
<p>Haha, I got rejected from everything but my safety school. Didn't even receive acceptance from the two honors programs I applied to at my safety school.</p>
<p>College admissions > me.</p>
<p>Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't care all that much, and take everything with a laugh and a shrug!</p>
<p>Rejected from Brown and Harvard. I'm waiting on four other schools. I think I have a good chance at two of them, but the other two are "reach" schools as well. Harvard was my childhood dream. Brown was my most recent dream that has now passed, but I am actually okay with this. If they don't want me, I don't want them.</p>
<p>Rejected from Brown, waitlisted at WashU (not gonna happen,) most likely rejected from Northwestern....my top three choices....alll gone...sigh...</p>
<p>I'm ending up at my saftey, too. Which sucks, because it has nothing I really want/need in a college.</p>
<p>That sounds crazy! You would save thousands by negotiating financial aid offers. People should apply to 10-12 schools these days, forget money, this will impact your life more than anything else. I never understand when people don;t apply to enough places, its gambling with your future. You can always transfer though hollywood.</p>
<p>Amen. I applied to 10 thinking it beats the hell out of never trying. Although the feeling of rejection was not gratifying, it is 10^482810 times better than never applying.</p>
<p>i just got rejected from 2 ivys and waitlisted by 4 schools.</p>
<p>4 waitlists? has anyone ever heard of a person getting waitlisted by so many? ugh, cornell, JHU, brown, and upenn...now im surely rejected (or better yet, waitlisted) at georgetown. im praying for BC, which i can;t afford at all, because my alternatives are very bad.</p>
<p>Blah, this rejection hurts so much, especially since I was deferred in December and sent a letter to the Dean and everything. But I'll suck it up and lean on the same advice that I spoke of in my essay: "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." (Frederick Douglass). That aside, I think I'm headed to Syracuse University for the SI Newhouse School of Public Communications. My sis is at Syracuse and I got a great scholarship to go.</p>
<p>I was in the early/deferred pool too...it sucks because it gave you some slight hope but it just didn't work out. Wow, but congrats on that program @ Syracuse. My friend applied, she got waitlisted. It's really selective and that's a great honor, so congratulations!</p>
<p>So if Georgetown or Stanford dont pan out, and based on those already getting rejected from Georgetown I wont be getting in, then its UC Berkeley for me. On the bright side of things, I got a full ride to UCB.</p>
<p>Im also torn on the wailists. I don't know if this is false hope, but im going to find myself working hard again this spring break writing a new personal statemtet.</p>
<p>I can only imagine how some of you are feeling but I think that it is important to be able to move on. I have the same attitude that if some place does not think I am a good fit for them, then they probably were not a good fit for me either.! I think that wailists are torture because very few people get off them. Also,I had a friend last year who was adamant about MIT. He got waitlisted and in late July got an offer from them when he was already psyched about Georgia Tech ( where he had sent his deposit ) He ended up going to MIT at the last minute......and you know what?..He is not very happy there now and regrets the whole emotional turmoil that he made himself go thru.</p>
<p>Just be careful and stay positive about the new choices available and just try to see if you can fall in love with them!! ( without having to rely on the stupid waitlist )</p>
