<p>Can I please PM someone? The reason i am asking is that I have pretty top notch stats and I wanna know why i got rejected everywhere??? Even some of the easy colleges...I am beginning to think that maybe it wasn't due to my lack of competition but rather how they read my application. In other words, I may have botched up with some of the wording of the application. If someone can take a look at it, I would highly appreciate it. </p>
<p>So, simply, if you want to do it, say "PM me".
I will post everything from numbers to activities to personal statements to common app essay. </p>
<p>The places i applied to include Harvard, yale, brown, penn, duke, and some ba/md programs.</p>
<p>Every single one of the places on the list that you have posted here is in the “lottery” category. Many applicants with perfect grades, perfect exam scores, and excellent ECs were rejected by each of them. There is nothing that anyone who was not on the various admissions committees can tell you about why you (along with thousands of other students) did not make the cut.</p>
<p>If you were not admitted to any college or university that you would be able to afford and happy to attend, then you have two options:</p>
<p>1) Plan to take a Gap Year (or two) while you think about your life goals, and then reapply to colleges.</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>2) Start applying now to community colleges, four-year colleges, and universities that are still accepting applications.</p>
<p>Do not waste one more minute trying to understand why you were rejected by the “lottery” institutions. That way lies nothing but grief.</p>
