Cornell</p>
<p>You rich white males.<br>
I’ll give you Tufts, UPenn, Brandeis, Cornell. I’m not familiar with the others.
And, let me guess, Harvard rejected you? <- I’m jaded. But it’s a joke. Only not really.</p>
<p>I wish this “Tsen Char” reference wasn’t lost on me.
My SAT’s have already filled my daily “inadequacy” quota. Boo.
I’m going to stop spamming this thread, sorry!</p>
<p>Bumping this back up – and for the record, I am attending WUSTL in the fall (it’s on my CC profile and that’s why I said it was a given at the beginning :P)</p>
<p>If you didn’t get in to U Mich I’d be beyond shocked. From what I know of kids here in Midwest but OOS , if you can pay full freight as my daughter’s friends said “Idiots are getting in.” I personally know 3 kids with ACT’s under 30 who were not in the top 10 percent (probably in top 25 percent) who got in.</p>
<p>Besides that, most of your stats look good. I’m guessing GPA, AP scores, courseload, or something combination thereof were why you got so many rejections ( <— speculative, guessing that because you said the results made you “hate humanity a tad”)</p>
<p>Can you give us more comprehensive info of that sort?</p>
