<p>elisa, if you asking me, I didn't apply to Smith unfortunately! BUUUUT, if it has your awards (money, right?) for Smith...but you haven't gotten an offer yet..well, seems like you'll be getting one!</p>
<p>Congrats, babe!</p>
<p>Thanks Izzy !! I am still afraid that it's a system error or maybe they display the awards to everybody and doesn't mean acceptance. Unfortunately today is holiday and I can't even call to find out!!
I have to keep my cool somehow. The awards add up to 38 k which is so awesome!!Well my grades are not that good so I have a strong doubt! Keep your fingers crossed for me guys !!!!!!</p>
<p>Wowzer! 38K a year??? HOLYBLOODYHELL!!!! <em>jumps up and down</em> That is pure awesomeness!!!</p>
<p>To display awards for every applicant, and not only those accepted, would be a sadistic thing for Smith to do! I don't think they'll do that!</p>
<p><em>crossing my fingers for ya</em> This is sooo coool!</p>
<p>I HAVE BEEN WAITLISTED.. TOOO BAD..by wustl</p>
<p>AND THIS SEEMS DUE TO THE FINAID PART FOR US INTERNATIONALS.. they are mentioning there wont be any finaid for students accepted off waitlist for intels..
well seems like what all happened in previous years is really true for waitlist at wustl.. mass waitlist it seems again </p>
<p>SMARTMIND</p>
<p>Are you sure it wasn't that freaky tech glitch running around?</p>
<p>Ah, darn, I'm sorry, smartmind. <em>hugs you</em> That really does suck. <em>gives you chocolates and a drink</em> Best to get drunk and high, I think...</p>
<p>haaha .. well yes the technical glitch got over 1 hr ago.. and official decisions are out..</p>
<p>and well i am perfectly normal... so chwweeet of u ..
and well yes like previous yr this yr too mass waitlist has taken place...</p>
<p>Now i am thinkin that to accept the waitlist offer( i cant go due to no aid part).. just to hold the seat back.. and let it be.. though without further updates waitlist acceptance wont be true.,.. still</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Your last paraf really confused me... :confused: </p>
<p>Buuuut, doesn't WUStL reject at least some candidates? If they don't, and with an acceptance rate lower or around 30% (??) that's a whole long list!</p>
<p>heheh well. they do reject.. but the waitlist is sure longgg . .. and beyond average standards by the other colleges</p>
<p>what I meant in last para is sumthing i will explain later as its still a thought.. and i have until may1 to decide.. </p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>I have been waitlisted too by WUSTL :(</p>
<p>sorry smartmind & ronty :( <em>hugsssssssss</em></p>
<p>btw, Congrats Elisa for making it to SMITH :)</p>
<p>1st of all......... No sorry's.. this is something i have learnt over sum yrs that when u loose sumthing or are not successful at anything dont feel bad at all.....</p>
<p>Life is not one moment of being happy or sad .. and is much more.. i too look at it very differently and am really not that hurt with this.. I have learnt to enjoy the rejections or wait listing or anything of this sort and not feel sorry about these things.. well i guess this is what takes away a lot of spontaneity from you but imparts within a solidity that helps you go through anything with gr8 confidence..</p>
<p>Well its like a race.. where you are a competitor.. some win .. some dont.. .you dont feel sorry at not winning.. coz u know the reason already .( somebody was better than you at least if u were not gud enough or anything .) So you take it positive and practice, ..</p>
<p>This is my policy and feeling not to console at all.. and not express solitude or condolence at anything.. nothing here is what it seems..its all how we feel abt .. i think one should rather get up straight without any sad face and continue with stuff and not be sorrowful.. </p>
<p>To become inert to a limited extent to your emotions can always help overcome great extremities of emotions ( this includes gr8 achievement i have had to gr8 failures i have had..)</p>
<p>Also well .. knowing fully well that this isn't the end of the road , why at all should i be sad.. well to categorize it metaphorically for anyone i wud say</p>
<p>Humans are like platinum metal keys... they are worth their value more than gold but they are not useful or successful everywhere.. . you try out the wrong combination of this key in a lock and the key seems to be pretty useless... so basically unless u find that perfect lock where u match yourself and ur worth is most valued, you wont get the best..
so well not having got the correct combination doesn't mean we should go in for underestimating the value of the key...</p>
<p>I know i have gone a bit too much in it.. but what i know and feel is not what i can say in words but all i know is that..one as to be confident about himself,,, love himself, believe and stay calm at all situations.. </p>
<p>Things work out automatically then..</p>
<p>i know half things in this post wont even make sense .. but whatever .. my views.. </p>
<p>SMartmind</p>
<p>Good thought :)</p>
<p>muahahahaha another waitlist...or should i say sweet rejection for an intl asking aid...</p>
<p>and i am talking abt me...for dimwits who din get it..</p>
<p>Looks like WUSTL sucks big time when it comes to intels!!!:(
Ronty, I dont know yet if Smith accepted me or not! I will give a call on monday!!
Good luck to everyone !!!! MIT decisions are tomorrow !!!;)</p>
<p>Wish you people all luck with MIT!!!</p>
<p>you all have 4% getting in... so it's a roll of the dice anyhow...!!
Hope you all sleep well 2night... so you can celebrate the whole night tomorrow</p>
<p>Yep....best to sleep and hope you sleep until it's around whatever time it is going to be released....</p>
<p>Wow, somehow I'm reminded of the day SAT results come out and how obsessively I checked at 8 am here, though it'll be 1 am in the US...</p>
<p>hehe time differences are such a pain! When i was finding out my results for Australia i was in sweeden on this little island. I was SO worried it would not have net access but thank goodness it did. Then I stayed awake till 2am refreshing the darn screen. How can you sleep when all you can think about is "Did I get in...Did I get in .. Did I get in"? </p>
<p>Best of luck everyone! :)</p>
<p>I keep refreshing my Smith account with the award !! I have the crazy feeling this way I can prevent it from disapearing !!! After such an yr if I really got accepted in Smith I will feel as if I got in Harvard itself hihi:D</p>
<p>4 hours til MIT decisions I believe...</p>
<p>You'll be fine Elisa. If you don't get into Smith maybe you will get into Harvard :)</p>
