<p>Its ok, iplayoboe, you're a great person (anyone on the Yale forum can tell you that) and you will get into whatever school you want to go to... I know how you feel. I imagined getting rejected since september. Feel better!!</p>
<p>When's our first date?</p>
<p>Yes Iplayoboe, jinp is completely right. When I was rejected I was disappointed but knew that it would happen, I was just hoping I might be deferred... but when I found out you were rejected I was shocked, your profile is a lot better than mine, you're an individual who should be definitely proud of your achievements. And much more importantly, you're lovely, helpful and witty, things that are gonna take you a long way no matter which college you go to. I know nothing we say will really make you feel better about Yale, you really had a passion for it but i hope we've made you feel better about yourself. </p>
<p>I did most of my college apps last year for Britain and I got quite a few rejections and felt really chuffed, the worst was having to tell everyone and the way they looked so disappointed and tried to console me... I felt really bad, loved coz they cared so much but bad coz they had all these expectations and I felt like a failure. This year only my close family knew I was applying to Yale, not even my best friend knew (and probably not gonna tell anyone) I think that's why I could take rejection this time round so easily (and also from experience). The next few days are gonna be sh¡t but you'll get thru in good time. Big smile now please, we all know how pretty you are when you smile ;)</p>
<p>iplayoboe--from one of the moms...you're so wonderful your personality even shines thru this web forum....please dry you tears and carry on. hugs and cookies, andi</p>
<p>iplayoboe,</p>
<p>I definitely concur with andi et al...you are an absolute doll!</p>
<p>It is an impossible task to take all of the unique elements that make you YOU and sufficiently reduce them to statistics, numbers, and a few short sentences on an application. I can only think that had the adcoms been given the opportunity to get to know you as we on this forum have, they would have been fighting to get you!</p>
<p>Believe me, my son is feeling the exact same way. But you both will get through this!
Hang in there sweetie! ~love, berurah</p>
<p>iplayoboe, I know it must be difficult, but I"m sure that by April you'll have a lot of excellent choices.</p>
<p>Victoria, You Rock My World!!!!</p>
<p>shes rocks my world too!!..oo god..you know u do hahaha..dude u dont know need yale..!!!...ahhh ull rock another schools world neways loveeee!!!:)</p>
<p>Victoria you are the best!!!!!!!!! CC wouldn't have been the same without you. You're one of my favorite people on the board, and you're 100% to come visit me at Yale anytime. I'll save you a seat in the Saybrook common room. And we'll do all the things we talked about doing. Singing, snowflakes, guitars, bread pudding, the whole deal. I'm so sorry, sweetie. No one expected this. It's so unfair :( You'll find a school that you love (still set on Brown?), and it will love you back ten-fold.</p>
<p>Iplayoboe, you did a lot for the Yale 2009 CC online community. Your spirit and your zest will stand you in good stead wherever you end up matriculating. You're a great gal. Some other school and student body will be the great beneficiaries of your talents and your spirit. You have my very best wishes and kindest regards. Are you applying to Harvard RD?</p>
<p>Victoria, I don't know what to say except that Yale messed up. Big time. You are one major reason I kept returning to this board (aside from my cravings.. hehe) You will be amazing wherever you go. Wow, I really don't know what to say. :( Best of luck in April. </p>
<p>Feel free to IM me/ email me/ whatever. </p>
<p><3 Chidimma</p>
<p>Victoria, thank's for being such a great support here on the forums. You'll do great wherever you go.</p>
<p>Yale certainly missed out, that's all I can say. Keep your chin up - you'll have amazing results come April. And, hey, how many college applicants can say they've been complimented by Michele Hern</p>
<p>hey all, im posting cause i can't believe how amazing supportive this thread is. i can't let you all go on without the biggest most sincere thank you ever. this thread really made me feel strong when i went into school and its a big part of the reason that i feel good about the whole yale thing already. thank you so much for that :) </p>
<p>jinp6301, you free on wednesday night?</p>
<p>oooh... I smell romance in the air. iplayoboe you're the greatest.</p>
<p>Apply To Princeton! We Need More Beautiful People!</p>
<p>keep talkin to me V :)</p>
<p>I hope I'm not instilling any false hopes, but...</p>
<p>I have a friend who was rejected from UPenn (her top choice) early last year. Everybody at my school was shocked. We were sure that she was a shoo-in (sp?). Naturally, she was upset. She called her admissions representative and her interviewer asking what part of her application was weak and what she could do about it. Well, as it turns out, her admissions representative was a newbie and the adcom later wrote her a letter explaining that they will give her application another read through because they did not agree with the regional rep's decision (this is coming from the college who sent my other friend a letter saying that they gave his application a "thorough" read-through when all he sent in was Part I, the name filling portion; Yale's better than this ~_^). Fast forward to April and she was accepted by UPenn. She went to Stanford instead.</p>
<p>Moral of the story: college decisions aren't everything. Often, they are only one man/woman's opinion, and you know how fickle opinions are. Never give up; you never know what will happen. </p>
<p>With that said, good luck with your applications, and have a great holiday!!</p>
<p>-- Nancy</p>
<p>omg...I cant BELIEVE Upenn did that!</p>
<p>in fact, I AM free on wednesday night, and if you want to check out my picture, its on the 50 most beautiful ppl (page 10) on the cc cafe. let's talk on aim someday.</p>
<p>I have no idea who this is, but I'm sure they're great...good luck?</p>
