<p>Now that it’s so close I’m actually dreading it…I really don’t want to read like 5 rejections in a row.</p>
<p>did most of the CC’ers on here apply to wharton?</p>
<p>Not all of’em, but a good amount is what i’d guess.</p>
<p>well i didnt think all did. but most seem like hopeful whartonites.</p>
<p>CAS here =) so…maybe im a minority and they’ll love me for it ;)</p>
<p>hahahaha 10char.</p>
<p>i pity you wharties. i applied to seas, which is significantly easier to get into than wharton.</p>
<p>I cried for about 3 days when a certain Ivy (not this one) that I once liked told me that I was an icky and gross reject, and my application reeked of epic failure. Or at least that’s what I assume was written after the “We are sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you a position in the Class of 2014 because you are…” or something along those lines.</p>
<p>So now I’m bracing for rejections, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Right now I have a new “dream school” that I already got accepted to, but I’m still waiting to see if the other schools also disagree that I’m icky and gross and reek of failure. So Thursday will suck nonetheless, but I can just close the screen after and say “Well at least I got into X school. Time to put the deposit in~!”</p>
<p>I JUST WANT TO GET INTO PENN!??!? IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?? </p>
<p>…maybe</p>
<p>CAS here, anxiously waiting for the decision since my deferral-which is a REALLY long time.</p>
<p>PLEASE, DEAN FURDA, ACCEPT ME!!!</p>
<p>@FightingQuaker: Did you also post that in the Yale SCEA forum?</p>
<p>I remember reading this post somewhere on CC.</p>
<p>Anyway- I was in fact rejected by Yale early. But at the same time, it wasn’t my first choice, so I guess the feeling doesn’t really apply here.</p>
<p>I know this sounds sort of lame - but I think everything happens for a reason. College adcoms do their best to make sure that you’re a right fit for their school - which is to both parties’ benefit.</p>
<p>If I hadn’t been rejected Yale SCEA, I wouldn’t have revamped my essays for all of my Common App schools. And also, now that I think about it more, Stanford seems like a much better match for my personality than Yale. Again - this is just my opinion - but a “first choice” is subjective, isn’t it? Everything is about your attitude at the end of the day.</p>
<p>Just approach your decision, whatever it may be, with positivity and confidence that you’ll end up where you belong (unless you didn’t spend any quality time on your essays - which would mean that you’ll probably get what you deserve). I’m sure it’ll be tough for a while. I mean… I had to struggle with Yale’s rejection for FOUR MONTHS! But like everything else… this soon shall pass (and it has, for me). </p>
<p>Have faith in yourselves! ( :</p>
<p>Nope! I never really had any connection with Yale. It was all Stanford or Duke and I ended up at Penn!</p>
<p>Ah. Well I remember reading your post after I got denied from Yale and choosing to apply to UPenn as a result ( ;</p>
<p>There were a few very nice threads around the time early action decisions came out that set my mind at ease. Its good to know that other people have gone through the same thing, and have come through it with flying colors.</p>
<p>I’m starting to dread April 1 too. I think I should stock up on ice cream and chocolate for Thursday, but not for after opening the decisions, for during the reading. Now that I think about it, I’d hate to read so many rejections in one day, ego-crusher pls. Bottom line, I’m only interested in one letter not being a rejection (or God-forbid a waitlist) and that is Penn.</p>
<p>@ocgirl92 Congratzzzz on Stanford!!! I’m a fellow YSCEA reject and it’s great to hear stories like yours!!! But I faintly remember reading a post similar to fightingquaker’s letter after the Yrejection, but yeah there were so many after the decisions in December that I’m probably confusing it with some other post too.</p>
<p>will it be a yes. or a no. hm.</p>
<p>Well i’m applying SEAS to Penn, but i’m pretty sure i’ll get rejected. I just hope i won’t feel like my friend did when i do get rejected :(</p>
<p>I’m hoping to get into M&T! The chances are astronomically low, but I can’t help but feel hopeful. It’s nice to expect rejection and move on, but I think you learn more from a bitter rejection than from an expected one.</p>
<p>@ nesely,</p>
<p>Don’t hate on the wait-list just yet. Sometimes they turn out (just ask my roommate).</p>
<p>Yeah I guess they do give some hope, but honestly they scare me as much as rejections. Especially in this situation when dream-school is on the line. <em>keeps fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Thanks Collegestress16!</p>
<p>Really - anything can happen. Its not over until April 1, 2pm PST.</p>
<p>OR actually… its not even over until June, right? Because that’s when waitlistees get calls to matriculate?</p>
<p>I wish everyone all the luck in the world ( ;</p>
