<p>i think i have the worst one. i applied to my best friends top choice school but it was my backup, we were together when we read the decision letters. i got in, she didn’t and now i am going there…she is still bitter and wouldn’t talk to me for two days </p>
<p>and i have been jealous cause a guy i know got into Georgetown to play baseball but his grades/scores are way lower than mine and its my DREAM school (you know, im just a little bitter)</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone is bitter about my acceptances. If so, the people in question very much keep it to themselves. While I was applying, there was a lot about me applying everywhere, and now people say I was accepted everywhere even though I was waitlisted at Yale, but it’s all said nicely.
I guess I was initially jeal that another girl got into Yale, but just for a moment.</p>
<p>I use to be jealous about everyone that got into NYU. Just because I was so pressed on going there for so many years. It is hard to deal with the disapointment and realize after all those years of dreaming about going there, you actually aren’t. </p>
<p>However, I now understand that it is okay, and I am happy that I am actually going to be able to college. I think society makes you feel like you need to go to a big deal school to prove that you are worth something, when really we should find our worth in ourselves, not what college we go to or get into. College applications are a giant risk and ighly unpredicatable, and even though you worked hard in High School or you are smart, there is no way of knowing whether you will get in our not. But it is an adventure, that’s for sure.</p>
<p>I’m bitter because I helped two students with their Georgetown interviews and they both got accepted and I Deferred from EA and Rejected from Reg. But I got into UF when other kids with better stats than mine got rejected.</p>
<p>I usually don’t hold grudges. I know my limits so wherever I got rejected, I anticipated it and I’m not bitter at all towards anyone who did get in. I know people who didnt get into Cornell or whoever I got into but they’re pretty chill about it.</p>
<p>I think the only legitimate reason to be srsly upset is legacy/athletics…I was pretty ****ed when someone got into MIT for football (I totally did not anticipate MIT to recruit anyone for athletics…)</p>
<p>It’s funny – most of the kids in my son’s circle are easy going and realize that it’s a roll of the dice to get into so many places. They seem to be truly pleased for one another. Everyone is feeling a bit bad about the darling girl who deserved to get into all her choices and didn’t. She does have some fine options, so even that’s not too bad. </p>
<p>Moms, however, can be a different story! They may have a thicker layer of veneer but you can tell who is strutting and who is seething. </p>
<p>All of this is a seasonal thing. By next Christmas/Solstice/Han. all of this will be ancient history.</p>
<p>^^I do not think MIT recruites athletes.</p>
<p>
It’s quite interesting, pigs, how you completely change your attitude now that you’ve been accepted to some of the best schools in the world…</p>
<p>It appears that you were extraordinarily bitter and hostile after being deferred from Yale in the early round, blaming your deferral on little more than the fact that you’re Asian. And now you talk as though everything’s just the way it should be, ignoring the questions of others as to how you, an Asian girl with seemingly no massive hooks, are now going to be attending Princeton.</p>
<p>Funny things happen to people when the tables are turned…</p>
<p>Two girls in my class, #1 and #5, both got waitlisted at Vandy and are very upset about it. No one else got in to Vanderbilt at my school but they are still ****ed. I feel sort of satisfied that #5 didn’t get in because she applied to Cornell and Vandy and didn’t get in to either of them and she lied on her application about volunteer hours and other things so I don’t exactly feel bad for her either. </p>
<p>@pigs<em>at</em>sea: Congrats on all of your acceptances! It’s just crazy that you got accepted to so many great schools! And I don’t mean that in a bad way! Good luck!</p>
<p>^ A bitter person in a thread talking about bitter people ;P</p>
<p>I tried to comfort my friend who was rejected from all of the ivies HYPSM (not considering the lower ivies) and Northwestern. She was extremely bitter and told me I couldn’t possibly “understand [her] disappointment/angst, etc.” and was being curt toward me. I didn’t talk to her for a month. One month later and she’s still throwing out the pity card like there’s no tomorrow. It’s like…listen dude. People KNOW disappointment. I consoled you. It’s been a month. It’s over. You are not what the ivy leagues are looking for and guess what…you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>In my school in Miami, most kids from the top ten was so jibe up for UF decisions on February, including myself. I was so happy when i got accepted and told mostly my friends and teachers about my acceptance. When i told my AP physics teacher that, he started bragging about it to the whole class (<20 students). everyone was like, “omg you’re so smart” and “you’re going to make it in life”. one kid in the class even said i was a genuis, which was definetly going too far. i dont think noone was bitter about it, if they were they hid it well! although i do talk about it often, i just mostly state that i am excited about going there, and never brag about it (i hope i didnt).</p>
<p>i was slightly bitter about the #1 girl in our class, because 1) she applied to UF even though she didnt want to go, which i think that filling up space to people who applied that actually wanted to go. (good thing i was accepted also because i would had been extremely bitter if didnt and she did) 2) she got accepted to about 12 schools! but since i got into my dream school, im ok.</p>
<p>i dont think nobody is bitter anymore. most of us got more important things to think about like choosing from the colleges that accepted you, senior class trip and prom. now we just want to graduate and get on with out live lol.</p>
<p>^ Yes, UF has a LOT of regional prestige, but in all honesty, it’s #48 in the nation. xD
And, I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but some of your grammatical errors are making me cringe >:[</p>
<p>“And, I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but some of your grammatical errors are making me cringe >:[” </p>
<p>^ sorry, i am horrible at grammer. i guess that why i dont like english so much :)</p>
<p>^It’s grammar. :)</p>
<p>MIT doesn’t give athletic scholarships, of course, but if you are good in a sport that MIT has a team for, it’s a hook.</p>
<p>One kid who was good academically but not as great as some others in the class who applied, got in apparently due to a connection with the water polo coach. He was good at the sport.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s really hard to not get into a school you really want to go to and I suspect you’re not very modest about your own results.</p>
<p>Our class has 22 NMFs, and not all of them applied to the Ivies, but only one NMF from our school got into an Ivy, and that was Cornell.</p>
<p>A NM Commended got into Dartmouth and Harvard (legacy) and because he didn’t apply for FA. (I’m sure they’re need blind, but wealth aware - but less so with H)</p>
<p>And our sole Yalie was an athletic recruit.</p>
<p>We’re all sorta puzzled and bitter at the Ivies, considering most of us that applied had near-perfect applications. We don’t expect all acceptances, but we’d hope more would get in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well said. It’s amazing who gets rejected but then you see it over and over again and after awhile you realize it’s just what happens anymore.</p>
<p>“^It’s grammar. :)”</p>
<p>oops! my bad. see, i told you :)</p>
