I wish you could trade acceptances

<p>I would happily trade my NYU, UC Davis, UCSB, and LMU acceptances for a UCLA one. Want to stay close to home and cheaply :(</p>

<p>And I would trade my Kommunity Kollege acceptance with Harvard…</p>

<p>I would trade a Bowdoin, NYU, BC for a Cornell or Dartmouth.</p>

<p>I hope I can trade financial aid offers…</p>

<p>I thought you guys meant trade one acceptance of yours for someone else’s. I’d give my friends some of my acceptances quite happily. But I don’t really want any of theirs.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>As would 99% of the population of American seniors.</p>

<p>The premise of this question doesn’t seem valid to me. Wouldn’t you trade ALL your acceptances for an acceptance to your dream college? You only get to attend one, after all, so one acceptance is all anyone needs.</p>

<p>^^ I wouldn’t trade Bowdoin for Cornell or Dartmouth, and I know plenty of people who would prefer NYU over Cornell and Dartmouth. Not everyone is prestige obsessed.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ditto. It’s not like I want to go to UC Berkeley. Any of my friends can have my spot.
But I don’t want their acceptances either. :P</p>

<p>Personally I would trade every single one of my acceptances so far (NYU, UNC-CH, Wake Forest, Emory, NC State U, pending others) for one damn letter from my first choice, which rejected me earlier this year. haha I suppose I’ll get over it in time.</p>

<p>But then that completely beats the point of college admissions. Colleges don’t accept numbers that happen to have names behind them; they accept individuals for what they represent. Colleges choose the people they want on campus… and all of you want to surprise them by having a friend ( a completely different person) showing up in september…</p>

<p>But trading acceptances would be tight, nontheless. Pointless, but tight.</p>

<p>^true. But I’d still take rejection from UCLA for acceptance to Cal anyday. haha</p>
