<p>If you have several or more college acceptances congratulations! It's nice to have choices. Feeling grateful and relieved with acceptances and even scholarships do you feel bad now having to turn down some of these schools who put their faith in you? Maybe even some you were surprised to get into?</p>
<p>yes,i feel pretty bad because so far i have 5 acceptances and 0 rejections. i would love to go to my safety school too, but i know i possibly wont. and yes,i feel guilty because in the end, i can only attend 1 school =/</p>
<p>I feel kinda bad for the CSUs I was accepted to</p>
<p>I mean, I just applied to “safety” myself while someone could’ve probably loved going to CSULB</p>
<p>YES! That is why I’m not rejecting any of them and trying to take classes at every school I get accepted at. I’ll make it work, I just feel SO guilty especially since they write me nice letters AND give me scholarships.</p>
<p>Alright, yeah it may be sad…But wouldn’t it be sadder, if they just rejected you, instead of you rejecting them? Think about it ;)</p>
<p>Do not feel guilty for participating in a system the colleges themselves created.</p>
<p>They could just form a central clearinghouse to assign students from a nationwide pool to appropriate institutions.</p>
<p>Colleges know how the system works. Just be sure to send prompt notices that you are “taking a pass” on their offer so they can delight someone on their wait list.</p>
<p>NO! I’ve been accepted to all my schools and I just plan on not declining any offers. I can’t make a decision and I’ve had so many sleepless nights the past few weeks. My hair has begun to fall out since I’m so nervous!</p>
<p>^ Wow…</p>
<p>“They could just form a central clearinghouse to assign students from a nationwide pool to appropriate institutions.”</p>
<p>Wow, I read that and felt so relaxed… only in a communists’ world!</p>
<p>I personally don’t feel bad because I know someone on the waiting list is dying to get accepted (remember it’s usually the kids who don’t get in that want it the most)</p>
<p>That was the point of my post.</p>
<p>Yeah, I can’t believe I’m turning down Yale either.</p>
<p>No I wouldn’t because they don’t want everyone to accept anyway. Plus some people are mad about everything you have to go through in the admission process.</p>
<p>Yeah… I was offered Regent scholarship for some UCs too. :(</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely feel guilty. I’ve got some safeties in state that are still sending me swag like backpacks and making phone calls after likelies from Duke and Dartmouth. I’m still waiting for HYP, but in any case I’m pretty sure I’m not going to my safety even after how nice they’ve been.</p>
<p>i dont think i feel very guilty, at least towards the colleges, for the following reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>they dont expect to take everyone.</li>
<li>we paid them the app fee so that they would be compensated for their work</li>
</ol>
<p>i feel bad in the sense that i may have taken another applicant’s (most likely a borderline, willing-to-go student’s) spot. 
but towards the schools, not at all :)</p>
<p>p.s. you guys EARNED this! no need to feel guilt</p>
<p>I feel most guilty about the alum and current students who call and email presenting their cases. Their genuine love for their school really impresses me - that’s why I’m trying to keep an open mind about every college I applied to and not make any easy decisions before all decisions come out.</p>
<p>OMG! YES! this is already the hardest decision ever, but honestly looking back I didn’t think I would even get into my top choices so I thought it would be relatively clear where I was going to end up. I’ve decided on NYU which means I’ll have to REJECT (how apporopriate) American, Bard, Fordham, Howard, and possibly USC (if I get). I feel kinda bad because, hey I wouldn’t have applied to the schools in the first place if I didn’t like them. :(</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
<p>I paid to apply and did the work, paid to have my scores sent…They did their job in making admissions decisions, and now I’m doing my job choosing where to go.</p>
<p>Plus, my spot can go to some kid on a wait list that wants to go to the school way more than I do.</p>
