<p>Pretty numb. Especially because it’s final. No deferral. Good luck to you my friend.</p>

<p>The worst part is that it is a wasted ED opportunity.</p>

<p>@lampdresser‌ </p>

<p>What kind of questions would you have with the rep or people at CMC? I’ve emailed them a few times since Sophomore year, (I’m a junior right now, btw, and CMC is my top choice) but I’ve run out of things I legitimately want to ask. </p>

198

<p>We can’t apply to CMC anymore correct?</p>

199

<p>@Enoooosh‌
You can still apply RD and, I believe, EDII.</p>

<p>From my rejection letter:</p>

<p>“Furthermore, because there is no appeal process, and because we are not deferring any early decision applicants to regular decision, this decision is final.”</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna has permanently rejected me. </p>
