<p>Claremont Mckenna is a great school. I’m surprised though that you got into Vanderbilt, Claremont, and Grinnell and didn’t get into Colgate. Also the rejection(as appose to wait-listing) from Rice was sort of surprising.</p>
<p>My first guess:</p>
<p>Stanford [EA] - Rejected<br>
Washington U. StL - Accepted
Duke - Wait-listed
Georgetown University - Accepted
Vanderbilt - Accepted
Colgate - Accepted
Claremont McKenna College - Accepted
Cornell - Accepted
Rice - Accepted
Grinnell - Accepted
Brown - Rejected
University of Iowa - Accepted </p>
<p>My second guess:</p>
<p>Stanford [EA] - Rejected
UWashington StL - Wait-listed
Duke - Rejected
Georgetown University - Wait-listed
Vanderbilt - Wait-listed
Colgate - Accepted
Claremont McKenna College - Accepted
Cornell - Rejected
Rice - Wait-listed
Grinnell - Accepted
Brown - Rejected
University of Iowa - Accepted</p>
<p>The truth:</p>
<p>Stanford [EA] - Rejected
UWashington StL - Wait-listed
Duke - Wait-listed
Georgetown University - Wait-listed
Vanderbilt - Accepted
Colgate - Wait-listed
Claremont McKenna College - Accepted
Cornell - Rejected
Rice - Rejected
Grinnell - Accepted
Brown - Rejected
University of Iowa - Accepted</p>
<p>Rural_Iowan = Me! :)</p>
<p>tricky hehe</p>
<p>EDIT: yeah ditto to fairy…CONGRATS!..im also headed to Cali :D</p>
<p>wow. Congrats!
and thanks for PMing us all. That must have been alot of work…</p>
<p>wow I am surprised I thought you would have gotten in at least one of the ivies/stanford/rice…</p>
<p>Anairbag: I was also surprised. I honestly laughed at Colgate’s waitlist letter–it was honestly second-to-last on my list (in front of U of Iowa). It still would’ve been nice to tack on another acceptance.</p>
<p>Wenger: I thought I would have gotten into at least Rice OR Cornell. Or maybe even a waitlist. Honestly, I think it was the suspension that quite possibly held me back. Oh well though, I know, myself, that I turned that negative into a very positive thing. I went from being a student that the school’s administration looked down upon (not as far as academics, though) to, quite literally, one of their favorite students (and I’m not trying to sound egotistic).</p>
<p>One thing I am not sure if I conveyed is the new educational possibilities my parents and I pushed for. Also, I don’t know how well I emphasized the rigor of my schedule in comparison to my classmates. My schedule was the most rigorous in the history of my school–by miles. I’ve been to the school board many, many times to improve my own education. Through my efforts, students can now opt out of required classes to take harder ones and AP classes (not offered through my school–offered online) are more available to all students–among many other things. It’s honestly really hard to explain everything I’ve done–hopefully you get the picture. I’m really happy with the strides I have taken in my education. I just wish the colleges would have heard it too. Oh well though–I’m going to a very nice place in a very nice location. (I just find myself to be the hardest person to satisfy!! )</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, did you submit both your SAT I and ACT scores? Because the ACTs are really good, maybe you should have just submitted them.</p>
<p>This process has made me realize how hard it really is to get into a great college (in certain circumstances). In my circumstance, I had absolutely no help from anyone in learning the admissions processes and other things about applying to colleges. There has been no student from my school (or any near me) to set any kind of precedent–nor anyone in my family or friends’ families. My guidance counselor was no help (actually, she was a huge hinderance…long story). I did everything myself, and at least I can attribute my success to myself and be proud. I never was “born and raised” to be some college superstar. My EC’s, while probably fairly strong, reflect my interests, not college aspirations. Maybe I could have started younger, but I knew nothing of the process and honestly did not have major intentions of going to an awesome college in my early-mid high school years.</p>
<p>Bovertine: I submitted all SAT scores and ACT scores. I wanted them to see my SAT II’s, so I sent both. All the colleges claim to take the highest of the two, so hopefully they actually do. Though, I did find one thing peculiar–my interviewer for Georgetown showed me the info-card she got on me. It showed SATs but not ACTs. She commented that my scores seemed pretty good, but a 34 is definitely more impressive than a 2030. (Note: I’m not saying my interviewer thinking my scores were not as impressive was any kind of factor, just saying that maybe SATs are usually predominate…)</p>
<p>neal-
I see how you had to submit both. Hopefully you can take them at their word about giving the exams equal credence. I guess I’m just thinking that sometimes when there are so many super excellent applicants they are just looking for any reason to NOT accept someone, and your SATs, although certainly good, are not in the same ballpark as your ACT.</p>
<p>But you’re going to a great school as it is, so enjoy.</p>
<p>Good job! I talked to the CMC admissions people at the college fair, and they seemed really tough.</p>
<p>congrats
you inspire me</p>
<p>Claremont colleges are great1 love the california weather and environment. hope you have a AWESOEM tiem there
