<p>rennyblue2, not accepted to huntsman, deferred from college, accepted RD college.</p>
<p>anon...does that mean you can be accepted TWICE? as in...two spots are made for you at Penn and someone else doesn't get in because of that? lololololol.</p>
<p>what's interesting is that everyone was like "I'm terrified of the archives"...but I read them and if anything they were encouraging. People with SATs in the 1300s and 1600 alike were rejected, deferred and accepted. It's encouraging to know that it's not all scores and GPAs...they must be looking for something else.</p>
<p>i'm really glad to hear you say that. that's a tremendous comfort i think to everyone who has unusual qualifications and perks but may not necessarily have the so-called perfected GPA or SAT score.
good comments rennyblue2</p>
<p>Hunstman and Fisher , they do waitlist only if you apply early ...
on the other hand wharton DOES not waitlist , how ever if they may call your counselor to ask you to transfer into the college instead of doing wharton if you have low math score , math grades , or anything . I belieb they only do that to the kids in my school since because we're philadelphians..</p>
<p>erm, u can't really "transfer" applications can u?
only for dual degree stf</p>
<p>i think i will get into mse, but not m&t, ill have to apply for that at the end of freshman year</p>
<p>im applying ed to wharton but i think ill get deferred</p>
<p>i applied ED to the College.... and i think i will get in. but thats just cause my life has revolved around penn ever since i was like 15 so it wouldnt make any sense if i didnt get in? like why would god do that to me. that would just be really anticlimactic. and pointless torture besides....</p>
<p>shorty... I agree about the anticlimatic thing. Me getting D'ed or R'ed from Penn just doesn't seem right in the grand scheme of things.</p>
<p>I don't know, I think I'd rather be rejected than deferred. If we're talking about a literary sort of climax, i think for me--it's got to be either rejection or acceptance. there's something so definitive about those.
regardless, deferral would probably be much much much better than outright rejection.</p>
<p>ill say REJECTED because then at least i wont be disappointed, ill have been expecting it</p>
<p>I think defferall might be worse than rejection.</p>
<p>Defferal = 4 and a half more months to worry about it.</p>
<p>true. there's a John Ashbery poem called "Saying it to keep it from happening".
I think that's what i've been doing these past few months
and if I do get Rejected/Deferred...it's not like there's a surprise ending...i won't have to change my vocabulary.</p>
<p>if i got outright denied, i'd be worried about my RD list. b/c i'd think that i obviously was not even close to penn's level, so i'd be freaking out about getting into any of the other schools on my list. but deferral is a good way to gauge where else you'll get in.</p>
<p>true. if i don't get into Penn ED, i'm most probably not getting into Columbia, Cornell or Yale either...and suddenly Tufts is my reach.</p>
<p>brocky, do you have a copy of that poem?its not coming up on google, and im curious</p>
<p>it's not online i don't think, but i could type it up i suppose and post it.
it dosen't necessarily answer the title well, ashbery's sort of notorious for really thick works...but i could post it if you're interested.
to answer beechling's post--that's a really good point about the gague of where you'll get in...and maybe a reason why deferral isn't so bad...
as to the poem though, eighteenforluck, i'll try to start typing that up for ya.</p>
<p>Porscheboy16, Wharton, deffered</p>
<p>haha brocky its ok, i thought maybe youd just be more computer savvy then i am and find a link, i dont want you to waste your time typing it</p>
<p>thanks though!</p>
<p>setman87: Deferred? Huntsman, Accepted College</p>
<p>a little bit from Ashbery's poem which is in the book "Houseboat Days"
"Some departure from the norm/will occur as time grows more open about it./The consensus gradually changed; nobody/lies about it anymore."
interesting footnote: ashbery came to Penn a year or two ago at the Kelly House, his reading is on Penn's site.</p>
