<p>i knew a rejection was a real possibility.
but foolishly i thought id get in or at least get deferred.</p>
<p>reality is... mom checks my email and has to tell me in my sleep that i got rejected..</p>
<p>i'm finally up now.. didn't go to the last day of school.
and i'm finally ready to share the news with you guys.
only my parents and you guys know right now.
some of my friends are coming to my house after school, i don't know what i'll do .. i think i'll just have to have a group cry....</p>
<p>a rejection brought about 30 mins of crying and screaming...
and i guess that's it..</p>
<p>i'm getting smashed tonight.. then i'm going to make sure all my RD schools accept me..</p>
<p>because i'm a freaking special person..</p>
<p>u know.. Columbia.. SCREW YOU!</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>i'm sad..</p>
<p>my dream is now gone..</p>
<p>it's time to find a new dream..</p>
<p>sorry for making u guys wait so long to find out what happened to me..
but i took the shock very badly.. and im kinda recovering now..</p>
<p>i'm not a columbian. never was. never will be..</p>
<p>Silver- you are so talented, dedicated and accomplished. You will get in at other great schools, I'm sure. I'm glad you're okay, although I know rejection really hurts. As I said to others, as difficult as it may be right now, please try and see the bigger picture. It will all work out in the end, and remember, "This too, shall pass."</p>
<p>believe me , youll get in to plenty of other great schools and in a few years youll realize , columbia schulumbia its just a plain dum school and i did great where i finally went... for my part, deffered , i feel like withdrawing my app , deffered is a worst insult than reject means your lousy but well keep u around in case we need u to fill our class (and bank account)</p>
<p>Dear Silver_wavez, I hope you noticed that everybody was asking about you, on all the Columbia threads. You have been quite a community builder here, and everybody was worried about you. That's quite an accomplishment. You told somebody once, "If you don't get in there, it means it wasn't the right place for you." I bet you will end up very happy - wherever you land. Best of luck to you, and take pride in what a presence you have on this board!</p>
<p>silverwavez , how about we create our own university? with predefined clear adimsion criteria, no bs essay's etc.. could become a good business.. youll be dean me provost or whatever and all other rejects here will be the professors or "learning coordinators" as we would call them ( sounds fancy= attracts money)...</p>
<p>Chris-
I am devastated to hear that you got rejected. Getting to know you these last couple weeks has made me really what a creative, funny, intelligent, outgoing, and overall beautiful person you are. If Columbia doesn't want you, they are missing out on someone truly fantastic. </p>
<p>I know that I will probably go through what you are going through now in April, and I just don't want to consider how awful you must feel right now. But please know that everybody, yes everybody at this board loves you and wants only the best for you. You have an extremely bright future; no one can possibly doubt that.</p>
<p>I hope that even though you aren't going to Columbia we can still meet in person some day; having a friend like you would only enrich my life that much more.</p>
<p>Good luck on your RD apps and talk to you soon; feel free to email or IM me if you just want to talk.</p>

<p>Chris, you have been my biggest inspiration to try for columbia next year, and not just that but to reach for the stars. You are a true inspiration for everyone here, and I am so sorry, from the bottom of my heart. I was shaking, just hoping that this title was a joke, I wanted you to get in more than anyone else I have ever met. You are an amazing person who has encouraged me more than you could ever know. We all love you here chris on cc, and I hope you know I truly mean it. I feel great sorrow for you, and I hope you end up somewhere where you can be happy. I guess Columbia doesn't recognize someone special, really the most beautiful person on the inside (i've never seen your outside). From your friend,</p>
<p>Hey guys, you can always transfer. I actually didnt get into Brown early, got in Columbia RD, and then got into Brown and Dartmouth as a transfer and chose Dartmouth. Anything is possible.</p>
