<p>Only 300 of the 1000 valedictorians that applied were rejected. I was one who was waitlisted. Ahh, the feeling is horrible. I mean, I had everything, good recs, etc, it just suchs so bad because I really wanted to go. Just wanted to get my emotions out 
, so here goes: <strong><em>, </em></strong>, ahhhh, bull**</p>
<p>I know two more valedictorians that were waitlisted, if it's any consolation.</p>
<p>"Only 300 of the 1000 valedictorians that applied were rejected."</p>
<p>Where do you get that from? Last year Penn rejected 54% of vals, and considering that admissions was much more selective this year, I don't that number went DOWN to 30%. Penn probably rejected close to 60% of valedictorians this year.</p>
<p>It was posted somewhere in a statement by Stetson, but I can't remember</p>
<p>The bottom of the article states that it reversed the original numbers.</p>
<p>Oh oops, it wasn't been corrected back in the day when I read it.</p>
