<p>Hahaha, I know this is going to sound really annoying to people who have gotten various rejections/waitlists, but I've been through that feeling (I got deferred from Yale EA) and now I'm riding high with 12 acceptances and zero rejections. But I can't help feeling that feeling that come Tuesday, the streak will be gone!!!! Is anyone savoring the last days when they can say that they got into every college they applied to? Has anyone had a streak broken and fallen into a major depression? :)</p>
<p>Was this topic necessary? There’s people on this forum crying about being rejected to every school they applied to and here you are trying to subtly brag about your 12 acceptances.</p>
<p>your an idiot, what kind of person falls into “major depression” after having their “streak broken”</p>
<p>Are you kidding? How is this bragging?
I qualified this by saying that I know how it feels to be (basically) rejected and that I’m not looking forward to feeling that again. I don’t see why it’s not okay to post a thread like this simply because there are people who have been rejected. Of course I comiserate deeply with the people you speak of. I’ve been one of them. I just wanted a place to dicuss how it’s going to feel to possibly be rejected from some of our favorite schools, and how people might want to deal with having to choose between schools they got into but might not like as much. If I wanted to brag, I would have put, I got into WXYZ schools and they’re great. I didn’t. You would have no idea if I got into 12 Podunk Universities unless you spent the time looking at my previous posts. If you don’t agree, don’t post jeez!</p>
<p>Why would anyone apply to 13-plus colleges?</p>
<p>quaker oats, all I can say is, notice the smiley face next to the sentence you refer to and reevaluate your usage of the word “your”.</p>
<p>wow, I guess this isn’t a time to be semi-jokey on CC…uptight much?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t get too mad at princessbell. While we should be mindful that there are people on these boards whose college admissions process went far from favorably, that doesn’t mean we should get mad at people who post because they are excited and want to tell a wide audience about their success. Just because other people are worse off doesn’t mean the successful should be silent. In fact, it’d be selfish to expect this silence from them. For example, just because I failed a test doesn’t mean the guy who aced it isn’t allowed to celebrate.</p>
<p>Furthermore, pain is relative. Someone who’s riding high on 12 acceptances but then gets rejected by a few ivies could feel just as much genuine anguish as someone who got rejected by 80% of the schools they applied to if the first person’s hopes were vested in those they got rejected by.</p>
<p>Congrats princessbell on your acceptances. Hope your streak isn’t ruined.</p>
<p>princessbell…I support you in this thread…but you will find that CC is extremely insecure and envious (some but not all) and will poop on your party…check out my recent thread…I am also in the streak club ;)</p>
<p>I know you think that being deferred by Yale sucked (and it did), but being waitlisted/rejected by schools that are much less selective is much much worse. </p>
<p>I certainly wouldn’t classify myself as “extremely insecure” or envious, and I have no problem with you celebrating your accomplishments, but I just wanted to point out that the two feelings are very different.</p>
<p>^^It’s all subjective.</p>
<p>princessbell, can you clear some room in your pm box?</p>
<p>I’ve had a similar streak to you as well, princessbell. Seven acceptances, one waitlist so far. Haven’t been carte blanche rejected from anywhere yet, though I still have to hear back from Tufts and Harvard on Tuesday.</p>
<p>I wished I applied to a few more Ivies…</p>
<p>i can join this club, omg, for sure my “streak” will be broken there is no question</p>
<p>I have to join the club, I have 8 acceptances so far and the final decision lies this Tuesday, and since Columbia is tied for my top choice, this will pretty much make or break my college choice.</p>
<p>Yeah, 6-acceptance streak here, going to be broken by Harvard or Yale or both.</p>
<p>8 acceptances, 2 scholarship rejections. so technically, my streak is still going. although i was heartbroken by the two scholarship rejections. it was like being rejected from my dream school, and im still struggling to get over them.</p>
<p>I’ll support princessbell here. This is what message boards are for. It’s an opportunity to express things that you can’t express or talk about within your normal circles. And this is a part of the college application process. No one forced to read this thread or to respond.</p>
<p>thank you bird rock :). i’m not even the OP but it’s nice to hear someone say that. i can’t really talk about college with most people at my school - you make a lot of people angry when you say chapel hill was your safety. </p>
<p>i’m in this club… for now… stanford, georgetown, harvard, and princeton this week. it’ll be rough</p>
<p>eff a streak, im 9 of 11</p>
<p>LOL @ people getting mad about this. Wow, double standards much? “WE’RE REJECTED, LET’S CRY” threads are acceptable but “We’re doing well and fear rejection” threads aren’t?</p>
<p>Anyways, I don’t have a perfect streak going on (dayummm @ 12/12), but my ratio will die on Tuesday. I’m 6 for 7 and I hear from two Ivies. Eeeeek.</p>
