<p>I wont get in....</p>
<p>Yup</p>
<p>10char—</p>
<p>32,999 other people won’t get in either. I’ll be one of them, so you’ll have a new friend.</p>
<p>Numbers are depressing</p>
<p>numbers never lie</p>
<p>Same here. Genuinely, sincerely, positively. On the bright side, we will outnumber the “in” team. The more the merrier=> we’ll be about 16 times happier than the accepted ones.</p>
<p>Stay positive guys. All of you have more hope than me!</p>
<p>i’m going to think up some really depressing rejection posts in the interim to scare next year’s applicants</p>
<p>One more to the group… </p>
<p><em>sigh</em>(i feel like a loser) :'(</p>
<p>There are a lot of us who have spent the past few months hoping for a shot, but in all likelihood our apps were tossed in the reject pile within the first few weeks.</p>
<p>Most probably only got a quick, critical skim after the rep read and approved 10 superstar apps, then were promptly discarded. </p>
<p>Rightfully so? Possibly.
Depressing? Yup.</p>
<p>^I’m not so convinced that many CCers were rejected within the first few weeks.</p>
<p>Do they have a ton of apps? Of course, but I do believe that most apps get at least two reads.</p>
<p>You ppl need to stop being so pessimistic, jeez… Chances are at least one of us on this thread will get accepted, take my word for it.</p>
<p>^^^overachiever92: This thread has 12 responses (including mine). The odds of admission at Harvard: 6 out of 100. Statistically speaking, we need 5 more responses to this thread before one of us gets accepted.</p>
<p>^ CC Apps> General Apps.</p>
<p>^Even if this is true, ^ CC Apps asre not necessarily > General Harvard Apps.</p>
<p>not getting into harvard is not the end of the world i promise… haha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>CC Harvard Apps > General Harvard apps.</p>
<p>CCers are, on average, smarter than the rest of the general Harvard pool. They have a very advanced sense of the college admissions process and know all of the tips and tricks for what makes a good application. Also, because of all of the Chances threads, CCers have a more realistic sense of what schools they can get accepted to. A non-CCer might think that he/she is a genius with a 1900 SAT and 3.5 GPA and is most certainly a shoo-in at Harvard, but a CCer would learn that they probably couldn’t get in and would either a) improve their app somehow or b) not apply.</p>
<p>CCers on average may be better than general Harvard applicants…but I don’t think I am. =</p>
<p>^Then you are bringing the CC average down. Shame on you.</p>
