<p>I thought there should be a thread to just express our feelings (happiness, anger, nervousness, etc).
So, express yourselves.</p>
<p>Relieved. Slighty stressed - I feel less confident about my other universitites.</p>
<p>I feel it all. Sadness at not getting into a school I love. Anger at knowing that people I’m smarter than got in. And confusion because Duke and Mich were the only schools I truly loved, and I got into neither. I don’t know what to do. I have no idea where I want to apply to or spend the next four years of my life, and I feel hopeless at the fact that if I’m not getting into UMICH, I probably can’t get into any other top tier schools, even though I feel that I’m more than able to succeed.</p>
<p>/vent</p>
<p>What were your stats?</p>
<p>I guess they were better than mine, but I got IN!!!
So, don’t give up…THERE IS so many other schools.
Like, one person I know got rejected from all the Ivies, except Harvard :)</p>
<p>PUMPED! Honestly I’m really excited for next year and I keep going to umich.edu I think I’ve seen the whole site haha…anyways can’t wait to be in Ann Arbor!</p>
<p>looking at those who were deferred, i am just feel REALLY lucky to have been admitted. goodluck to everyone else, im 100% sure they will accept many during RD so please don’t lose hope!</p>
<p>I think U-M had a 30% increase in application.
I feel so bad, because there are so many talented people (some way better than me in terms of academics).</p>
<p>Don’t give up kobudnik! Let Michigan know you still want to attend. There are going to be plenty of RD admissions. You are still in the mix, make your voice heard!</p>
<p>I agree wholeheartedly with every word of kobudnik’s vent. I got deferred from Duke and UMich as well, so both of us are in the same position. The deferral from UMich made me more pessimistic about my chances of getting into top-tier schools RD, although I know I’m qualified. Duke and UMich are prestigious schools with sick sports where there is more drinking and partying than other top schools…in other words, they are perfect for me and it feels awful to have been deferred. ■■■. UMich ruined my X-mas!!! Thanks guys!!!</p>
<p>Got deferred from Case western engineering a few days before so i was worried (thought it should be saftey / match). That acceptance letter put me on cloud 9</p>
<p>My top school is University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and i do not think i will get in =( The waiting and waiting and waiting is also driving me insane. I applied for the nov 1st deadline and from what i’ve heard it is nearly impossible to get in from out of state unless you’re top 2 in your class.</p>
<p>Haha massgirl we are so similar. Looking for great academic schools with great sports/partying. Such few schools exist,sadly.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh massgirl we are so the same. Looking for great academic schools with great sports/partying. Such few schools exist,sadly.</p>
<p>@ kobudnik, I KNOW RIGHT haha. We’re the same exact people. NBD or anything… My dad asks me stuff like, “Why didn’t you apply to the University of Chicago?” In my head I’m like Dad…I wanna RAGEEEE haha=) What other schools are on your list besides Duke and Michigan?</p>
<p>@accepted1, I applied to UNC EA too! It sucks that they don’t release decisions until late January. And yeah it’s SOO hard to get in there OOS…def not expecting it, esp after getting deferred from UMich!</p>
<p>Very excited to have gotten in. Feels great to be accepted to my #1 school. Now I need to find some moola</p>
<p>Haha my dad also asked me why I didn’t consider Chicago and I told him I wanted to have fun in college.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know where else I want to apply. I’m interested in IR, so Georgetown is on the list. Then Rice and Vandy (even though I don’t think either are particularly great in this field, but they seem like fun). Got into Texas, and Austin seems cool, but as my earlier post says, the only places I feel fit me well are Duke and Mich. Where are you applying.</p>
<p>I know this is random, but there was a huge cockroach that could fly right next to me. It scared me, like crazy. It came out of nowhere.</p>
<p>@ kobudnik, I applied to UNC-EA and hear from them in Jan. I’m applying to Georgetown and Vandy too! I’ve heard Vandy (along with Duke) is the most fun T-20 school 
Other schools I’m applying to RD are Northwestern, Wash U, and Tufts. Congrats on UT btw, it’s a sick school with amazing sports/parties. My cousin went there for engineering and he has an awesome job now. I hope we both get into Duke but your worst case scenario isn’t bad, which is really nice=)</p>
<p>@ socurious123 I would have legit screamed at the top of my lungs. I hate roaches so much it’s not even funny haha</p>
<p>btw after my ****ing deferral I can’t help but comment on the fact that…
ANN ARBOR IS A WHORE!</p>
<p>haha…I already had a feeling that I would receive a defer letter soon…then it came today…</p>
