<p>One more day！:)</p>
<p>Best Wishes Dufour!!! I hope your dream come true… I don’t know you… but I feel you deserve it!!! :-D</p>
<p>GreekStudent-Thx！I’m from Asia and hope I can friend you on Facebook! :)</p>
<p>Rejected-Thank you for everyone above who encouraged me and supported me.Dedede,karatedady,leeloo, Greekstudent and so many nice people I met since deferral,thank you sincerely for being so supportive, thank you truly! :)</p>
<p>Yes i got rejected as well</p>
<p>we should make a rejected students thread… LOL</p>
<p>@Kazala
Hahaha it looks like there’d be a lot of us. We can have a support group. Everyone who I know personally that applied got rejected too, and they’re reallly excellent students. We’re in good company!</p>
<p>Also rejected by Grinnell…Ok,I don’t know if I can hang in there. It’s hard…truly hard…</p>
<p>Still haven’t told my parents about it nor my classmate…I lost my courage. Though not the first time rejected from college, I find it hard to face the direct rejection…</p>
<p>I got rejected as well. I got into Wesleyan which is making a lot easier to cope, but I figured that almost everyone who applies has amazing grades, scores, and ECs, so if they deny you then they figure that you are just not a good fit for the school. I would rather go to a school that truly wants me there, even though I really was beginning to fall in love with Middlebury. We’re all bright and the next 4 years will be amazing, no matter where we study!</p>
<p>Three o’lock in the morning here in China and I still couldn’t go to sleep. Maybe I just got a terrible nightmare and will be waking up in a couple hours. Who know? …</p>
<p>I just want to say how sorry I am for you right now, Dufour. It’s clear that you really loved Middlebury, and it breaks my heart to see you denied.</p>
<p>I know this will sound backwards, but life is 10 times more better (at least for me) now that I’ve been rejected. Had I been accepted, life would have been 500 times better, but the fact of the matter is I’m just glad the wait is over. I couldn’t bear living in hopeless anticipation of the decision. It’s such a relief to know that I definitely can’t go there now, at least not next year. Of course, it wasn’t easy to come to terms with rejection, but for the moment I can finally sleep.</p>
<p>BTW Dufour, I was waitlisted at Colby, Hamilton and Colgate today. So I can feel your pain. At this point I have only been accepted to my state-school safeties. Whoops haha</p>
<p>manarius and xc2010-Thank you for these reassuring words. Finally I found the courage to tell my parents and everyone around about news who were ready watch me fail and lose. I will save every email and information,including my rej letter,all your kind comments,and everything that will remind me of my “shattered Midd dream” into my computer. Thank you very much again and I will let you know where I finally end up after April. If you still wouldn’t mind adding on Facebook though not as a Midd freshman, please PM me :)</p>
<p>Don’t loose hope Dufour, you will get into a really great school for you. I was really rooting for you to be accepted and I wish you had been. Waiting to see which great place you end up in. :)</p>
<p>Another disappointing news-I got waitlisted by the University of Richmond because I applied for financial aid. And the notification email tells me if I can abandon applying for financial aid, my app will be reconsidered. Kinda offended because I’m incapable of increasing my family contribution:( . Midd is the only college that I didn’t apply for financial aid because it is my dream school and my family is willing to take the financial burden for a Midd education, but just ended rejected…</p>
<p>Don’t take any of these rejections or waitlists personally. Internationals, especially those applying for financial aid, are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to admissions.</p>
<p>NewsAccount-thank you for your reminder. I’m aware of my disadvantage when applying for financial aid. The only thing I found offensive is that my financial certification has indicated the maximum of my family contribution and they still wanna me to increase my FC… Kinda makes feel miserable:(…</p>
