<p>Let's hear about people you know who were accepted to Harvard but rejected at a bunch of other schools. And I don't mean getting rejected from Y or P or Stanford, I mean getting rejected from a state school or Bucknell or Smith or Colgate or some random place and still ending up getting into Harvard.</p>
<p>Those stories must be out there!</p>
<p>Someone I know got accepted to Harvard, but got rejected from UMaine. . . Probably because of “Tuft Syndrome.”</p>
<p>How is Tufts syndrome inspiring?</p>
<p>^it gets you down at first thinking you’re worthless, but then you get this acceptance and realize you might have an ounce of worth in this world. Well, that’s how I’d feel :)</p>
<p>I know a girl who got rejected everywhere except Harvard and Swarthmore (she got a full ride to Swarthmore for like music or something) But, while the girl looked good on paper, I can’t imagine she interviewed well or had good teacher recs…she was literally socially ■■■■■■■■. When she went to Harvard everyone in my school was like WHATT, so I guess that is inspiring.</p>
<p>It actually really isn’t though because while she had a photographic memeory (and therefore had amazinggg grades etc) she once asked my friend if “all oceans are salty-or is it only the big ones?” and once tried to tell me Congress was in London, England…she has NO common sense hahahahaa</p>
<p>^lol

<p>know one who was rejected from JHU, UChicago, Columbia, Brown</p>
<p>^ That makes me feel so much better about Tuesday. >.<</p>

there’s also some ppl that apply to Harvard on a whim not expecting anything that get accepted</p>
<p>my friend got rejected at columbia, brown, upenn, bc, tufts…but into harvard</p>
<p>It wouldn’t surprise me if a bunch of people get into Harvard that got waitlisted at WUSTL. lol</p>
<p>There are no acceptences or rejections at WUSTL. There is only Waitlisted.</p>
<p>^lol

I second that. Actually laughed out loud at that.</p>
<p>^yeah, I had a light chuckle b/c I was wait listed at WashU</p>
<p>My best friend got into Harvard, after being flat-out rejected.</p>
<p>Then the campus security spotted him.</p>
<p>^^^^ Hahahaha nice work! I chuckled.</p>
<p>I know a guy, not really hooked. Got rejected from Rutgers, umich, Tufts (of course!), wustl, uchic, columbia, nyu, and got into Harvard with financial aid.</p>
<p>wheww… this makes me feel better! keep those stories coming, people.</p>
<p>I was just waitlisted at Wesleyan, Swarthmore, Colgate and Lehigh (ummm, Lehigh was my safety!?!)</p>
<p>But I’m into Bowdoin! So I’m celebrating that for now, until Tuesday.</p>
