Whitman College----- I have serious confusion on that part. I’m not bitter- didn’t like the school much anyway- just skeptical. In October I was planned to have an interview with a major admissions person. She was in my hometown and gave me a specific Starbuck’s address and time to meet. At the correct Starbucks (I checked the address twice) I waited. For an hour. She didn’t show (apparently she did the same to my high school when she was supposed to give a seminar- flighty much?). I literally walked around the place for two hours, asking random people if they were from Whitman. I called her and left messages twice. About an hour after I arrived another girl came in for an interview, so I know I was in the right place. As soon as I got home I got a snippy phone message from the counselor herself, telling me that if I really didn’t feel like showing up than I should have just said so. ***! I left messages with her office, cell, admissions department in general, and sent five emails. No response. It just makes me wonder- though it certainly made me think much less of them. How embarassing- for the college, that is.</p>

Not to complain, because Dartmouth is my dream school, but it would have been a nice ego boost to get accepted somewhere else…</p>

<p>Rank: 5/60 (we didn’t send a single person to an Ivy this year, our Val is going to Swarthmore (which is great) and our Sal is going to Holy Cross (he cheated his way through HS (karma’s a *****)) I have the integrity not to cheat.
