How messed up are these college decisions?!?!?!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
21

<p>I think it all depends on what the particular college looks for.. One of my friends got into MIT, but did not make it into Cornell... lol</p>

22

<p>washu - downgrade</p>

<p>cornell - upgrade!!</p>

23

<p>I agree completely!</p>

24

<p>Not surprising. As an undergrad, I got into 10 of the 11 school I applied to, including 4 Ivies, Duke, Georgetown, Cal, Michigan, Chicago and Northerstern. My sole rejection was...UNC-Chapel Hill. State schools like UTA, UNC, UVA and the UCs are very tough on out-of-staters.</p>

25

<p>UCSB out of state?</p>

<p>I can't see why anybody would apply to UCSB as an out-of-stater; or any of the UC's for that matter unless we're talking UCLA or Cal...</p>

<p>Was there a special reason why you applied there? (liked the weather, relatives, family etc?)</p>

26

<p>Actually, UCSB is top 20 in Engineering and Physics, the campus in located on the beach and the weather is perfect. It is a very legitimate university.</p>

27

<p>aka party school</p>

<p>btw, I got in!</p>

28

<p>Totaly agree with everyone here. </p>

<p>I got rejected from MIT and accepted to WashU and RPI same day i got MIT decision. I spent so much time on that application and I wanted to go there so badly since i was like 8.....
I was lazy in 9th grade but then i picked up the pace and racked a decent number of engineering/science related things on my resume... some other stuff too... and then I see people in my own school who are absolute noobs at science being accepted into MIT. </p>

<p>w/e.... cornell engineering was up there for me too. now its my top choice. SCREW U MIT!!! haha</p>

29

<p>MIT's no fun ne ways :p</p>

30

<p>I disagree with Vbear. I was accepted at UCLA and I live in Illinois.</p>

31

<p>ya dfntly sucks for you guys! seems so unfair! i got guarunteed into ucsb only because of my grades (top 4%)...they didnt even bother to see my crap act/sat scores.or ANYTHING else...i got the letter in like September! and i doubt ill get into cornell...</p>

32

<p>Last year I got accept to Cornell and NYU, waitlisted at Colgate. Go figure. Not a big deal, since I really wanted to go to a huge school (hence the first two), but still, it was very weird.</p>

33

<p>...very messed up lol</p>

34

<p>A friend of mine was accepted to NYU but rejected at UCSC</p>

35

<p>It is stupid, I was deferred EA from Boston College, but accepted for Cornell bio. I am pretty annoyed, but I would choose Cornell any day.</p>
