<p>oreo- I'd really like to think that, but dammit, I dont have anywhere to got to right now. I'd been waitlisted or rejected by all the colleges that I've applied to as yet.</p>
<p>Cant believe it, Waitlisted, ever after being invited to visit Colby at their own expense. I feel horrible, can't believe that I let them get my hopes high....I just don't get why they would invite me, tell me how great my essay was, how much they liked it what not, and then this.....feeling so low right now</p>
<p>I remember when I scored an 1170 on my SAT first try. I thought it sucked at the time and I didnt know what to do, but I decided I would get a 1400. I studied an hour a night for months, and ended up with a 1410. It may seem like it sucks right now, but if you want it bad enough, you'll use this experience to motivate yourself to be even better wherever you go. I'm sure you all will do great. Just NEVER give anything but your all</p>
<p>waitlisted as well...</p>
<p>w.a.i.t.l.i.s.t.e.d</p>
<p>oh well...</p>
<p>Hey is the account name just your first/last name? I lost my sheet and think I could probably remember my password if i just had the account name.</p>
