<p>I finished applying a few weeks ago and I feel like I can predict where I'll be accepted and rejected. Is this normal? Anyone else feel like this?</p>
<p>I felt like that [before i withdrew after ED acceptance] with my EA’s, and most of the other schools I applied to. I felt a little unsure, but after my first acceptance, I was pretty sure I knew I would get in elsewhere (and not in to certain places, though I’ll never know now). </p>
<p>It helped that one interviewer said it was really likely I’d get in. So I expected that acceptance. I only got deferred from the place I applied EA that I was <em>sure</em> I’d be rejected at. So things can surprise you!</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>But I hope I’m wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, and I sort of wish I hadn’t applied to a couple of places because of it. I might have applied to different schools. </p>
<p>I am just hoping for a surprise :)</p>
<p>I felt like that, but largely because I applied mostly to safeties in the hopes of getting merit aid, meaning admission was pretty sure in most cases.</p>
<p>I didn’t know before December 1st, but after that, I did (and then I withdrew most of my applications anyways). I was reasonably pessimistic prior to the release of QuestBridge decisions, and after that, fairly certain I’d get into at least 8/9 of my schools. However, now I’m only waiting on Washington University in St. Louis, which I was 92% sure I’d get into anyways.</p>
<p>I am for sure getting the reject vibe from Duke - not sure why though =/ No idea about any of the others, but expecting rejection from Harvard.</p>
<p>I’m expecting Wesleyan to reject me because of my dismal ACT score, but I’m getting good vibes from Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Connecticut College. A surprise would be wonderful, though.</p>
<p>Yes. I got deferred by Emory, and my instincts tell me that I’m gonna get rejected by April even though I’m trying really hard to get accepted.</p>
<p>I can be pretty bipolar when I’m assessing my chances. On one day, I might feel confident about getting into 9/14. Some days, it feels like 5/14.</p>
<p>I think I’m getting into Oberlin and Vassar, and I have a really good feeling about Tufts. I’m pretty sure I’m getting into the UCs I applied to. Brown and Dartmouth are crapshoots. If I’m happy that day, I can imagine myself getting an acceptance from one of them. <em>knock on wood</em> But I wouldn’t be surprised to get rejections from both, either.</p>
<p>I actually just fumbled my Oberlin interview REALLY badly (stammered like no one’s business, and actually apologized mid-sentence for being flustered), but hopefully it won’t break me…</p>
<p>I do. 10 Char</p>
<p>I expect rejection from Columbia but I already got into my #1 & #2 school so it doesnt matter.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I’ll get into Grinnell, but as for the others, I don’t really know.</p>
<p>I hope I’m wrong</p>
<p>True, Anagrampanda. That’s smart. I know people who were so happy to get into their top school but couldn’t go because they didn’t have the money. Sad, really.</p>
<p>Congratulations to those of you who got in ED/EA to some of your schools! </p>
<p>And haha yup, we’re all very wishful. Perhaps too wishful. But hey, might as well try, right?</p>
<p>IBSenior, if you were already admitted to your first and second choices, why haven’t you withdrawn your application from Columbia and any other remaining schools? Do you think your priority might change?</p>
<p>I have a good feeling about Reed and Kenyon, but I’m not sure if I’ll be admitted at either. I have no idea about UNC, either, just because it’s so difficult to tell. (All three are possible/match)</p>
<p>Yeah I’m getting bad vibes from certain schools…I hope I’m not right!</p>
<p>i really thought i was a total in for yale. it was kind of sad actually because i wa researching which residential college i wanted to be in (davenport or saybrook), and i was getting the traveling directions and all of that good stuff… and then i got slapped in the face with a rejection. i was pretty numb. then i got ****ed. and then i was like “whatever. your loss.” now i am glad that i didnt get into yale. im going to a better place (in my opinion of course) that i think suits me. And it definitely didnt hurt that i got a questbridge scholarship to go there. </p>
<p>But for all of you guys still waiting for decision letters. i hope that everything works out for the best for all of you. :)</p>
<p>You thought you were in at Yale? Really? That’s really arrogant…</p>
