rejection by Caltech. any chance?
Definitely you still have a chance. Different schools, different approaches to applications.
I was waitlisted by wustl and rejected by caltech deffered by harvard and am an international… do i have a chance?
Like I know that I’m nowhere near MIT caliber but I can’t get rid of that tiny bit of hope…
It is a very subjective thing saying that someone “still has a chance”, since decisions are the way they are for a great number of reasons. MIT might have seen something on you that the other schools haven’t, or they might consider you a great fit, whereas the other schools didn’t. That’s what “holistic approach” is all about!
No one here at CC is the all-knowing, all-powerful God of collegiate admissions. So I say this to everyone, being an anxious international applicant myself: don’t loose your hope, despite of any odds. We will be finding out whether we got in or not in less than 10 hours, so try to have some fun and relax in the meantime. We are all together on this, regardless of what we’ll read at Tau Time today!
It’s important to have hope and not lose hope, but let’s all understand that it’s super competitive and no-one’s guaranteed to be admitted no matter how impressive their credentials are. I’m realistically expecting a rejection but still hoping for something better…
Waiting sucks.
At least it’s almost over @hiddenfalls
@skywalker11 Yeah it’s almost over, but it feels like forever. It’s almost like that 1 minute before an exam when you’re waiting for that clock to tick over, and everyone in the room is also just sitting there waiting and watching…
I am a MIT early admit and just came here to wish all of you guys good luck with decisions today. I was in the same situation as you guys back in December 16, so I know exactly how it feels. You are all amazing people and will go on to achieve great things regardless of today’s outcome. Good luck.
It’s Pi day, here we go!
No matter how slim my chances are, there is still hope. I am ready to be amazed! :))
If I get in with my 32 ACT, I will cry in disbelief.
Haha, I’m about to get rejected so hard. I accepted that fact, so I was able to sleep well last night.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
Why are you still in bars @infiniteCircle?
(If I get in with a 30 ACT I’ll cry in disbelief…lol)
@SD2020 my sentence is eternal.
@Xoxodreamerxox, if I get in with my 2180 SAT/115 TOEFL, I will die in disbelief.
@Ahmad12345 stranger things have happened. I speak from experience
I wish colleges would just send out the automatic rejection letters early so I wouldn’t have to keep waiting in agony
