<p>the only college I was rejected from was NYU, so I'm determined to go to Oberlin, my best school</p>
<p>I was accepted to NYU, Oberlin, and Occidental.
I got rejected by Denison University, my least selective school.</p>
<p>Yale, Brown, Swarthmore</p>
<p>Accepted: Dartmouth, Amherst, Swarthmore, Duke, Oberlin
Rejected: UCLA, Berkeley, Columbia</p>
<p>holy crap, an in-state californian was rejected at UCLA and UCB but accepted at dartmouth, amherst, swarth and duke? how on earth? the UC admissions system is truly, truly messed up,</p>
<p>I know, very random, one of my friends was rejected at UCLA and went on to get into Johns Hopkins, Berkley, and Wait-Listed at Columbia, but I could careless really, its time I leave the state. So its between those five I got accepted to.</p>
<p>Rejected: nowhere
Waitlist (which to me, is worse than a rejection): Amherst
Accepted: Oberlin, Northwestern, Chicago, Reed, Iowa, Seattle, UCSC</p>
<p>the UC thing is so messed up. I know 5 or 6 people in my class who are admitted at cal and UCLA, who, if the adcoms at any of those schools saw their apps, they would immediately burst into laughter. Im talking about getting accepted w/ a 3.6 uw GPA and <1250 SAT, and poor SAT II scores too.</p>
<p>Someone would sincerely apply to both Dartmouth and Oberlin? Unless you care nothing about politics, this strikes me as an odd pairing.</p>
<p>I don't think so, I find them to be quite similar in some aspects</p>
<p>Accepted: Oberlin, Rochester, Syracuse, Wesleyan U.</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Oberlin Conservatory</p>
<p>Rejected: Eastman School of Music, Juilliard (guess I'm not quite that good...)</p>
<p>No regrets though! Proud to be an Obie in the Fall...</p>
<p>I agree - who could you get into those others on not get into those UCs- my friends got into UCLA, Cal, etc (i'm from the bay area, n of SF), but not the East Coast selectives like amherst, etc</p>
<p>Like I said before LAC, I have no idea why I was rejected from those schools, but who cares I want to leave California anyway so I'm cool. The UC system is random, two guys from my school who were Siemens Westinghouse Scholars(excuse if I dont know the title) were both rejected by UCLA and later went on to get into Johns Hopkins, Berkeley, Stanford, and waitlisted at Columbia, so I have no idea about the admissions patterns of the UC system.</p>
