<p>Of course you'll get in somewhere. Somewhere great, and you'll love it. Believe me when I say I understand how you feel, silver_waves. It's when you want something so much, with every fiber of your being...and then it doesn't work out. It's horrible, and you should grieve, and grieve well. But after, you have to wipe off your tears and get to work on your other apps. Go for it, and you'll soon have plenty of acceptances to collect!</p>
<p>congratulations silver_wavez!</p>
<p>congratulations on being a great person who has made CC so special
congratulations on keeping this board together
congratulations on being a great student who will no doubt go to a wonderful school</p>
<p>you rock! so keep :)ing</p>
<p>silver_wavez I'm glad you read coureur's post. That's going to be you too, but you won't believe that right away. Maybe not until April. Keep your chin up!!</p>
<p>chris, you should feel so great to have so many people who care so much about you. you truly are a special person :p</p>
<p>silver_wavez- not a regular Columbia reader or poster... definitely agree with the others- don't appeal! I'm glad that you've decided to accept the statement that Columbia is really missing a lot by denying you admissions. Some other college will just take you away on its white horse! That college will love you for YOU and you should be flattered then. I know it's scary to think right now that you are NOT going to get in anywhere- believe me, you will. A friend said a couple of wise words to me last March, "Don't worry. Everyone's going to wind up in college somehow." You will wind up somewhere, especially that you have the drive to go into higher education!</p>
<p>Good luck in the spring! Just keep looking forward. It takes right chemistry between you and the school. The equation just blew up the lab between you and Columbia. You need to get a different element - another college that won't set the lab on fire again.</p>
<p>wow it's so amazing how feelings totally change...</p>
<p>Yeah, everyone knew you'd move on.</p>
