<p>The admissions standards for US colleges are often higher for international students than they are for domestic students. You sound like you have a great application, so I'm sure that you'll get into another great school. I know it's hard to not get into the school that you want to attend, but keep an open mind about the other schools that you applied to. Most people end up happy at whatever school they attend. I think I'm better off here than at the (first choice) school I was rejected from, so maybe the same will happen to you.</p>

<p>thanks a lot everybody!!</p>

<p>One other thing...I hope you run spell check on any college applications because your initial posting is full of spelling errors and does not speak well of you.</p>
