<p>I'm sure some people here who are applying to Ivy League schools also have friends who are applying as well. How would you feel if you really really really want to go but got reject, and later found out that your friend got in? Would it make you happier b/c it's your friend, or would it make you bitter for a while?</p>
<p>Hmmm none of my friends applied to ivy leagues but my twin brother applied and if he got in but not I, then I would be sad but happy at the same time.</p>
<p>depends ... if i get into Princeton, i'd be totally happy for everyone, but if i get rejected, i'd probably hate everyone who got accepted to ivies hehe</p>
<p>Another twin brother situation here (we both applied), echo what virtuoso said.</p>
<p>Most of the people I know who are applying to Ivies are acquaintances-to-slight-enemies, so I'd probably be rather angry. If one of my closest friends did get into a school I was rejected from, though, I fancy that I would be happy for them, though. I like to think that everything's going to turn out for the best *somehow<a href="somewhat%20at%20odds%20with%20my%20natural%20pessimism,%20but%20I'm%20hanging%20on%20to%20this!">/i</a>.</p>
<p>I'd be happy enough. (k_twin's twin here). Not that it's going to be a problem though, hopefully. :D</p>
<p>I agree with jerseygirl lol</p>
<p>i second that.</p>
<p>Well, in the case of my nephews who are triplets, I guess they can be happy for one sad for the other, and empathize with whichever one got the same result?
Confusing, I know. It has been since they were born.</p>
<p>Well I got in ED and a friend of mine got rejected from another school ED. I was expecting her to be happy for me because we are very close. Instead she started spreading rumors about me and avoiding me. Now we NEVER discuss it and she has never even congratulated me.</p>
<p>My best friend got into Princeton ED and I think it's going to be hard for him if I don't get in because he'll feel badly that I was so happy and excited for him (and we had a random weeknight Yay Princeton party) and he won't be able to do the same for me. My other friend applied to Princeton, but it's not his first choice, so if he gets in and I don't I would probably be kinda upset because I don't know if he cares that much about Princeton.</p>
<p>Otherwise, only very few in my school apply to Ivies or other top-10 schools, and Stanford/Harvard seem to be winning in the number of apps this year.</p>
<p>Would you guys find it embarassing though? I know i would. A lot of people at school know me and my friend applied to ivy league schools. It's just painful to imagine everyone, including teachers and counsellors, congratulating my friend, while i have to tell every person i got rejected. That's really having your rejection thrown into your face.</p>
<p>don't worry... chances are both you and your friend will be rejected ;)</p>
<p>thanx zerocool, that made me feel a lot better</p>
<p>While we should be realistic, perhaps we can refrain from "chances are none of us will get in." Maybe we will ALL get in.</p>
<p>And by all, I mean...everyone on this forum and everyone who we want to get in, including ourselves.</p>
<p>And no, it won't happen. But we can be nice and happy thinking about it.</p>
<p>hehe, optimism is so cute! :P</p>
<p>no one else applied to any ivy league schools except columbia from my graduating class, but my friend applied to wellesley and those kinda colleges. i imagine i'd be happy for her, but still curse and be all ****ed off inside or when i'm alone. :P</p>
