<p>yeah stillwaiting and everyone else waitlisted, you all sound fabulous. But from the letter I got from Kenyon, it seems like this year was particularly difficult to pick out. Also remember, that admissions (especially in the top tier schools in the nation) really choose you for who know what. This admissions game is hard to understand and IS very wacky. I'm sure you guys shouldn't get discouraged. All of you seem to be very talented.</p>
