Didn't make it...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I am one of those thousand-and-so who didn't make it. I congratulate all of you who did.</p>

<p>Right now I have few more applications to send out and I hope they will turn out better, some of them are to reach schools again and some are for the schools I "match" more.</p>

<p>I do not think I will post on this forum again, not because I didn't like you, but the decisions are out and I will not have to worry about what will happen in August in connection with me and Columbia.</p>

<p>[deleted personal info - Mod JEM]
The College Board would say: There is no success without failure. And College Board is always right...</p>

<p>Will miss you, guys.</p>

<p>HEY everyone who got rejected post here</p>

<p>I got rejected, not a big deal, I was expecting it. Columbia University just rejected one of the most talented writers they could ever encounter. I am applying to NYU, Cornell, and SUNY Stony Brook (my safe school). Good luck to everyone else and a big congratulations to those who got accepted, because you really deserve it.</p>

<p>I got rejected. which I totally expected</p>

5

<p>Anyone who calls himself "one of the most talented writers they could ever encounter"--</p>

6

<p>..."is unbelievably arrogant"</p>

7

<p>hey, maybe he is?</p>

<p>Arrogant? I wouldn't consider myself arrogant. I don't deserve to be accepted into Columbia University, my scores lack, my extracurriculars do as well. However, do I consider myself a superb writer? Yes I do. And I was emphasizing that every person has unique talents which are very often disregarded by Universities.</p>

<p>Ibanez: Not to start a flame war, but "superb" is not equivalent to "one of the most talented writers they could ever encounter." The latter implies you have an unbelievable talent which the Columbia undergraduate admission office has never encountered(maybe once or twice) in all of its existence.</p>

10

<p>I think you misunderstood my statement. They surely "encountered" me, but does that mean that they knew I was an outstanding writer? This goes back to me emphasizing that every person has unique talents that are often disregarded by admissions officers in Universities.</p>

11

<p>Guys, I really find it unnecessary to argue about it.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, just forget I ever posted, lol.</p>

13

<p>He's just been rejected, lay off.</p>

14

<p>Ibanez,
Most likely C rec'd applications from other superbly talented writers who may have had better e.c.'s and/or scores, that's all.</p>

15

<p>I didn't get in.</p>

<p>At least there are other people on here to commiserate with. Where's everyone's next choice? Mine's Chicago or Georgetown.</p>

16

<p>Viva La Chicago!!!!</p>

17

<p>And what makes you think you are "one of the most talented writers they could ever encounter"? Did your mommy tell you that?</p>

<p>I'm frankly grad people like this get rejected. I'm glad the adcoms can spot a social misfit</p>

18

<p>um, let's not be rude. alright?</p>

19

<p>I'm with Columbia2002. I'm not surprised an egomaniac like that was rejected.</p>

20

<p>I send my best wishes to all those who got less than stellar news today, but people like that deserve a little reality check.</p>
