<p>Congrats to all who were accepted, if you attend I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. Good luck to the wait-listed too, I hope you get off of it if BC is your top choice!</p>
<p>Its weird because you some of you guys who got rejected have way higher stats then myself. Btw I was accepted to the Carroll School of Management. And now im scrambling to send my CSS profile because I honestly thought I was going to received a nice little rejection letter. Hope they give me something at this point so I can go. I feel so freaking terrible right now.</p>

why you think you were accepted: i actually have no idea, there is obviously something about my application that stood out.
going to attend? Of course... just waiting on financial aid</p>
<p>actually griffon is a sn shared between three brothers, 2 of whom are juniors and one of whom is, in fact, a senior..if you look closely you will see different stats and different scores..so ilk, i know you probably think you know everything, but i'm sorry to reveal to you that you do not...i will be graduating on june 2 of this year, i have been rejected from colleges (BC, stanford and duke) so far and accepted at 3...so thank you for checking my credibility, but i think i wont listen to you</p>
<p>dudeee calm down. this is just a blog. there's no need to curse people out. the reason ilk07 checked your credibility was because, with stats like yours, it's hard to believe you were rejected from BC. then again, my friend, who has excellent scores, was waitlisted. i don't think any of us will ever understand the admissions process at some of these schools.</p>
<p>griffon i'm sorry i offended you... i just didn't think you would be rejected with your stats. no reason to curse, i was just confused why someone who i thought was a junior was posting as someone who obviously should have been accepted. i was not trying to be an ass hole, but as i said before i was just confused</p>
<p>i'm sorry about your rejections, it sucks, but you're clearly a great student who will end up at an amazing school</p>
<p>p.s. i would appreciate if you wouldn't use the word "retard" :)</p>
<p>alright...sorry for the snap...its just i was rejected at my number 1 which i was pretty sure i could get in to.....kind of ****ed haha but w/e...and i was just mad b/c then someone told me that i didnt have what i said...well congrats to all acceptees</p>
