International RD thread...

<p>well many univs rejected huuge numbers of intels too . my list is a gud example of em :p:p</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>So many intel rejections this yr.....
Swat rejected everybody including me (sigh)</p>

<p>didn't you hear? swarthmore is not building any classes this year. :D</p>

<p>oh really the last time i heard it was said the whole class of 2009 freshman 1st yr flunked so no new seats created only:p</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>theyre the losers in this one . . they obviously rejected very bright candidates, brighter candidates than they accepted . . </p>

<p>so they will suffer anyway</p>

<p>hehe, I agree with all of you~</p>

<p>Hopefully this will cheer you guys up:</p>

<p>Funny Animation. A lot of insight into American TV idols from decades ago to now. <em>laughs</em> Ultimate Showdown...</p>

<p>What about Oberlin? Didn't Oberlin reject almost all intels too?</p>

<p>I think so..</p>

<p>Darn, just received the hard copy of Grinnell's rejection. <em>moody</em> <em>mopes</em></p>

<p>Just leaves the hard-copy of MHC's waitlist...though given it took one month for something to reach me from there once, I have little faith in postal services...</p>

<p>Heck, Apr 14 will be a sweet day when all my six rejections rush in>_<</p>

<p>:eek: Seriously? That one day. Urrrrgggh. I suggest buying lots of ice cream. (Hey, has it finally cooled down in Vietnam? I remember January there being stifling and hot (as least in HCMC. Hanoi was nice and chill). Funny...don't remember much...)</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> In a way I'm glad I didn't have the good enough grades and EC's/leadership qualities to consider the schools most people here have. I would've been crushed with the waitlists at WUStL's and all. I'd probably be throwing around stuff and breaking the wall and my alarm clock. PMS-ing sucks during decision time, too.</p>

<p>LOL Izzy...yes, Hanoi has warmed up. The weather in Hanoi is totally different from that in HCMC, particularly b/c we DO have a winter, unlike the perennially warm south:D Thanks for knowing your geo lesson;)
Oh yeah, and what is PMS? Private message service? Yep, do break something just to let off steam, just don't get drunk like me and miss a term exam>_<</p>

<p>I used to live in Hanoi and HCMC a few years ago. Sorry, I kind of assumed you lived in HCMC, probably because it was the last place I lived in V'nam. :o Tell me, do people still not wear helmets there?</p>

<p>PMS - personal female hell. :D The thing that makes me wish I was a male once a month, before I become rational again and realize that females are the stronger gender. :p </p>

<p>My parents would disown me if I got drunk. :)</p>

<p>Now you said it, I think it looks more like "Pre-Menopause Syndrome" - surely you're not a mom in disguise?:p
Haha LOL, yeah, they legislated something that made everyone wear these tanks-reminds me of an episode in Harry Potter V when someone dropped a Dungbomb in the hall:D
Btw, is it afternoon in Romania? I have to go to bed-it's 2:30 AM here. You know what, tomorrow I'm retaking the stupid term exam I skipped last Friday when the hated decisions came!</p>

<p>i would've definately been accepted to this one school w/ my stats. but they rejected me b/c i was an international, as they explained. They had 3000 international applicants, but they admitted only 30!!!</p>

<p>Well, reflecting back to the admission process...</p>

<p>I am glad that I didn't take the TOEFL and waste 130 dollar+ send scores fees. Toefl doesn't help or add something to your app...
Also I am relieved, that I never have to take the Sat's again, I really hate these tests!! I just feel so sorry for the people who are now preppin for the test of may</p>

<p>it is pre menstrual stress</p>

<p>its the kinda feeling even a guy can get if he has prepared 2 years for this rele crazy hard math paper and while he is writing it he feels this mad urge to pee, but he cant get up and go do it . . and the clock is running . . </p>

<p>i got tht feeling once . . absolute mental and physical breakdown.</p>

<p>dude u had the feeling once....us chicks hav to go thru that stupid s.hit every friggin mnth!!!</p>

<p>true</p>

<p>im not undermining you chicks' ability to handle it . . etc</p>

<p>i was just giving a stupid example.</p>

<p>anyway - i talked for LONG with an amherst admission officer on the phone , the one who evaluated my app.</p>

<p>6000 ppl applied some 600 ppl got in. 78 intels. some 300 odd are on the waitlist. they can take any no. from 0 to 50.</p>
