<p>hey mike9x! i was rejected from Yale after being deferred ---- totally know how you feel. AND rejected from columbia.</p>
<p>but def consoled by the fact that i got into H! just the one, haha. didn't apply to P but i doubt i would have gotten in. anyway -- mucho congrats and i'll see you on cloud 50 :D</p>
<p>I got rejected after deferral as well. But there is no way in hell I would get accepted into H. You are 2 very lucky people.</p>
<p>mike9x and M_c,
could you post your stats???</p>
<p>hehehe, i was rejected from Yale too. But i am also consoled by the fact that i got into Harvard and Columbia!!!</p>
<p>i was rejected from yale after being deferred ... and rejected from columbia ... and brown ... and northwestern. and now i hate my life. considering i don't think my stats were bad at all ... especially for columbia who doesn't care that much about SAT scores ... i just don't understand. and it's my birthday.</p>
<p>yeah....i got triple rejed today, after being straight up rejected by yale early, i have gotten waitlisted by wash u, rejected by columbia, brown, and dartmouth, and waitlisted by cornell</p>
<p>umm rejected columbia after deferall, waitlisted upenn</p>
<p>I'm really sorry to those who had many rejections/waitlists today. Especially to loving_life because it's your birthday :(</p>
<p>For those who asked, I'll post my stats. But there are people in my school who were rejected with completely better numbers. All I can say is never underestimate the importance of a good interview.</p>
<p>I'll make this short and easy:</p>
<p>GPA: my school is weird, but around a 98 weighted
SAT: 2330
SATII: 750 math2C, 780 physics, 800 lit
Rank: 3/90
ummmm can't think of any other numbers lol.</p>
<p>Essay: pretty good, i think. i wrote about my name.. lol.. not that it's unusual or anything.. it just kind of came out. i guess it's pretty unconventional -- it kind of read like a poetic novel, if that makes sense. tennessee williams style.</p>
<p>Recs: stellar. i'm a projected english major but my recs were from my math and science teachers because they knew me as a person, not just as a student.</p>
<p>ECs: 4 years varsity swimming (captain 1 yr), 3 years varsity x-country (captain 2 yrs), habitat, model UN, some other things i didn't put down on my application.</p>
<p>Other: i'm an Asian female. and i had a really really good interview. and i hate math and science. i guess that's unusual, as an Asian.</p>
<p>hope this helps. keep this in perspective guys.. the ivies are psycho. you can never tell what they'll do. as i mentioned above, i was rejected from yale and columbia. i was also waitlisted at dartmouth. crazy.</p>
