General Comments, status update dates: I got rejected from all the private schools that I applied to but then again they were all reaches (Ivies) except for USC, which was supposed to be my match (even high match, nearing reach). I got accepted into UC San Diego, UCLA, and UC Berkeley. I am leaning towards UCLA right now but Cal might give me scholarships and seem to be really, really interested in me (calling me, inviting me to apply to Cal scholarships, etc.) I got deferred in EA and rejected in RD.</p>

<p>Congrats to all! Columbia or Stanford yee!</p>
<p>accepted...colleges are indeed random at times, totally unexpected</p>
<p>rejected..</p>
<p>So, I've been in complete awe for last 2-3 hours. Accepted! Weird series of events. I checked Brown..saw that I was rejected and was depressed for 2 seconds, until I checked Yale and was overjoyed ;) I really have no idea how I got in, but I'm incredibly grateful and fortunate.</p>
<p>Really guys, the acceptance game is so incredibly random. 8.3% is an insane statistic. Keep your heads up! Brown was my first choice, and it didn't work out, but that's how life goes sometimes (I know, I must sound incredibly insane seeing as I was admitted into Yale, but believe me when i say that I adore Brown) As cheesy as Brown's rejection letter was, they're completely right: "It's not where you go, it's what you do with the opportunities"</p>
<p>Love Yale bunches, and totally looking forward to it after my gap year (A break finally from 13 years of schooling, yes!)</p>
<p>Decision: Rejected (and overjoyed! lol my decisions are now much more easier)</p>
