<p>DD rejected. Not sure what they were looking for but I know this was her dream. She could not have worked any harder than she has ,and this was very unexpected. Even though she has other acceptances, none really are where she wants to be. Not sure of next step.</p>
<p>Yay I’m in! :)</p>
<p>Im in!!! So so so thrilled</p>
<p>Christ’s crackers, I’m in! Didn’t expect this.
Now if only it weren’t so expensive (but I’m thrilled and lucky to be accepted!).</p>
<p>ETA: Congrats to everyone else who got in! emah24, I’m sorry your daughter didn’t 
. I know that feeling, it sucks. I hope she finds somewhere else she’ll love!</p>
<p>I’m accepted! So happy!</p>
<p>Put on the waitlist. May be going to community college. Better than rejection though right? Did they really only accept 500 students as it says on my waitlist letter?</p>
<p>I was accepted! So excited :)</p>
<p>D was accepted. After being wait listed by Hamilton and a handful of others this is a big relief. Conn College shot right up to the top of her list now that all decisions are in, but we’ll probably end up making sure she takes another look at Trinity before accepting the spot.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone accepted and best wishes for finding the right place to those that weren’t.</p>
<p>I got into their waiting list… oh well i got the IVY leagues tomarrow</p>
<p>Accepted :D. Not likely I’ll go at this point, but it was my 2nd choice school!</p>

What was/is your first choice school and have you received an acceptance there?</p>

At least for me, there seems to be a huge gap between Conn and a Community College. Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>englishjw, </p>
<p>I’ve been accepted to Willamette University, Case Western, and Carroll College. I don’t really want to go to Case Western and Carroll, and anyway I can’t afford them. Same is to be said for Willamette. I got rejected at Reed, and I also got waitlisted at the University of Washington (I live in WA). UW had some questionable ethics with acceptances this year though. They accepted a ton of OOS students to offset budget cuts, so a lot of us kinda got screwed. But yeah, you’re right. I’d much rather go to Connecticut because it is the only place I could justify the cost, and be willing to go into a bit of debt for. </p>
<p>I’ll probably get accepted off of UW’s waitlist, but waiting that much longer is really painful. Otherwise, I will probably go to community college. I’m not liking this whole process very much. All colleges this year really kicked into business mode and the fact that I am not totally outstanding didn’t do me much good. Unfortunately my family doesn’t have much money (however according to those schools listed my family can fork out $20,0000, half of our income), and that worked against me as well. </p>
<p>We’ll see how it all works out for me.</p>
<p>Daughter put on wait list. GPA 3.91 unweighted, 4.1 weighted. 4 AP’s senior year. Great SAT subject test scores (720 on math). ACT composite of 33, SAT composite of 2140. Conn College was her small liberal arts safety school, so not sure why the wait list. She was accepted by Macalester, Colgate, and Colby, UC Irvine (honors program), UC Santa Barbara (honors program), UC Davis. Waitlisted at Bowdoin and Middlebury. Bottom line: College Apps are like going to Tahoe. You may think you have things figured out, but you probably don’t.</p>
<p>So sorry for those with rejections and waitlists. What a rough year this has been for admissions.</p>
<p>D was accepted, with a solid record but more modest stats than some: 4.03 weighted, 30 ACT, 4 APS and 5 honors total. We visited, and she had a great interview, and I think her essay must have really connected (because she got into all her schools), and the letters of rec must have been good.</p>
<p>She loves Conn, but it’s so damned expensive, so we’re not sure…</p>

To better put it, Connecticut College <em>now</em> is my 2nd choice. BUT, before I was torn between Connecticut College and Emory University. Oxford College at Emory university offered me a full tuition ride for my 4 years at the university (with the expectation i’ll maintain atleast a 3.2gpa throughout my years there). Seeing as this is a huge financial help, Connecticut College (as well as any school really) has become an unlikely choice mainly due to financial reasons. I really did love everything i’ve come to learn about Connecticut College and it’ll be very hard for me if I have to turn their generous offer down. </p>

Connecticut College probably thought your daughter was using the school as a safety and waitlisted her with the expectation that she’d get in somewhere else she’d rather go and would reject Connecticut College anyways. Alot of the UCs have been doing this to my friends. I know a lot of people that got into Stanford, Berkerely, etc. but were rejected from UCSC and UCI. It’s nothing your daughter did. It’s probably how the school is approaching things.</p>

Your daughter could appeal. If that doesn’t work, she could, as i’ve seen kids do with Connecticut College, try to transfer to Connecticut College after a year or some amount of time at another school.</p>
<p>Accepted with financial aid…to all those rejected,I personally received those letters in the past five days and I know it feels miserable, but keep in faith! BTW,my acceptance letter didn’t mention the amount of my award…so where can I find it? Anyone here with the same problem?</p>
<p>Dufor… Did your letter actually mention financial aid? </p>
<p>Anyone elses letter mention they would be getting fin aid?</p>
<p>LACsearch-Yes my letter mentions offering me financial aid,but I haven’t found any letters enclosed…waiting to hear…</p>
<p>Kit14805- Do you know if there is a formal appeal process? I am going to call admissions later or email them and inquire.
Also, as far as transferring, she is not interested in doing that. She knows that 30 years ago, I did just that and found it to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Friendships had already been forged and it was very hard to be the newcomer, especially being a shy and quiet person. My daughters personality is similar to mine so I would be afraid of the same situation occuring.</p>
