<p>Rejected. I guess my SAT scores screwed me over… only 2100. but I had a 4.0 with the IB diploma and four Higher Levels. ECs ballet for 14 years with a letter from the artistic director of my school, worked as translator in Peru, spent summers in England at dance programs, etc. I also studied abroad in Sweden for a year during high school.</p>
<p>Oh well. It hurts.</p>
<p>Rejected as well. Unique applicant, i’m not surprised. This is the second rejection… so my self-esteem is pretty low. Congrats on everyone who got in!</p>
<p>Why did so many of us get waitlisted? This is kinda insane… 
Does Hamilton find out tonight?</p>
