I know you are disappointed, and were joking about the janitor thing, but you really shouldn't have to beg. If you have to apply to a school 3 or 4 times (assuming you applied out of HS), it should be evident that the school isn't a good fit, for whatever reason. </p>
<p>Take me for example. I was in love with the U of Chicago for years. I was rejected first as a HS senior then as a transfer this year. First time around, I knew I was academically unqualified. I applied again with a 3.94 and good credentials. After the second rejection, it took me a while to realize that I'm just not a good fit regardless of whether my stats were good or not. I love Chicago's academic philosophy, but hate Chicago's student body. (I live close to the university and have visited frequently)</p>
<p>Point is, UNC is a great school. I'd stay there and take advantage of every opportunity I could without the distraction of filling out transfer paperwork. Have some self-respect and make a name for yourself at UNC.</p>
<p>actually, i didn't apply out of HS because i had to stay close to home for family reasons for these two years. this was my first time applying to cornell.</p>
<p>also, i am neither lacking in self respect, nor do i think that my desire to attend a particular school marks desperation on my part.</p>
<p>Ok, my bad. I wrote that under the assumption that you want to try for Cornell a third time because you said it was your dream college since elementary school.</p>
<p>^ Honest mistake..</p>
<p>But even if it was the third time...it's a great school, and obviously they wanna go. So if it takes 3 times...so be it. I probably would have applied again had I been rejected!</p>
<p>i just called the cals admissions office and they told me my decision would be ready today or by early next week. i wonder what's taking them such a long time....</p>
<p>I also called them this morning and I was told that they are working very hard to get the decisions out as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Any new news guys?? :)</p>
<p>rejected engineering =) got it snail mail today</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that scary2hairy.. :(</p>
<p>I'm so sorry scary2hairy...</p>
<p>Hey fri3nds04, have you heard anything about the financial aid? do you have your admission package already?</p>
<p>Would you mind if I ask you to keep informed about the process and everything to do? It's just that everything takes a looong time to get to my house and I don't wanna miss anything.....Thanks</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that scary2hairy.</p>
