<p>I have not gotten anything either. I called the man who interviewed me in June but their offices had closed by the time I got home from school. I left a message on his voicemail telling him that I hadn’t gotten any envelope and was worried. If he calls back tomorrow, I’ll post whatever he tells me!!! 
</p>
<p>I sure hope it wasn’t a batch of rejections that all got lost together.</p>
<p>oh that would just be too cruel…</p>
<p>thegraduate2009,
I’m sorry you’ve had such miserable news from your colleges. Perhaps all your bad luck is over and Wake’s envelope will hold a fantastic news for you. Where are you waitlisted? Good luck and let us know how you do.</p>
<p>well let’s see we have UVA, CMU, Emory, Cornell, and Berkely
Rejected at chapel hill, penn, notre dame, and georgetown.</p>
<p>All my local schools have rolling admission so im not highly concerned about not finding a home. Im not even asking for financial aid which i could use but it’s only a hinderance.</p>
<p>I come from a very small private school of about 150 kids total 9-12.
Although I’d say around 85% has a 3.5 or higher and I’m taking what you guys would consider IB or AP classes but in my school they’re just your regular class that you take whether you like it or not.</p>
<p>I have almost a full year of freshman college classes completed already. My downfall is that i don’t test very well on SAT’s and ACT’s because im dyslexic in a way with numbers. So on my apps they see this these regular classes and mediocre test scores like a 28 ACT and im instantly shunned. In retrospect I’m more well acquitted to their school than a majority of the kids who’ve spent their entire life in the classroom. I’ve played 4 sports all through high school, held a job, managed my father’s company, done countless hours of service, traveled through africa and assisted children with the aids epidemic over there and yet i’m not qualified to represent an elite university because this lack of academic accomplishment that my application portrays due to being chastised by the institution that was supposedly preparing me for this next step…sorry for the frustration</p>
<p>Hey thegraduate that really stinks, but I’m curious, did you mention that you had dyslexia on your app? you don’t have to answer if you dont wanna. Although I have to say, with those kind of skills already at your disposal, the undergrad school won’t matter quite as much. This is, of course, assuming you only applied to Wake for its reputation. Which is silly of me. XD (no sarcasm</p>
<p>I don’t have any medical documents if they’d look into it further so i decided not to. I’ve never been tested but there’s definitely a problem when it comes to processing numbers. I live about 20 minutes outside of Pittsburgh but I’m in West Virginia. So my state school options suck.</p>
<p>thegraduate2009, my mom is a teacher, and I asked her about dyslexia. She doesn’t work with children identified with that, but she is friends with the teacher who does. She said it’s too bad you weren’t tested and identified as dyslexic because then, by law, you would have accommodations that they’d give you. Is there any way you can be identified before fall so you’d get those accommodations (whatever they are) when you go to college? Good luck to you.</p>
<p>thegraduate2009,
You got waitlisted to great schools, so maybe you can contact them with more information, including your situation. You never know…it just might make the difference. Wish I had been waitlisted to Cornell.</p>
<p>Two children applied. One accepted earlier this week. Second received wait list yesterday. Sounds like mail from here on will be wait list or rejection for those that did not hear on Monday/Tuesday.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s wise to draw conclusion based on some cases. Nothing here in Maryland still. I called the admissions yesterday and was told that mails were sent out on 27th. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I called Wake’s admissions offices and was told that they will give out our decisions over the phone. So I asked for mine.<br>
Rejected!<br>
I called my mom from school (went to the bathroom during lunch) and cried. Yeah, just like a baby. I feel so unwanted and worthless. </p>
<p>Good luck to all of you still waiting, and congratulations to all of you who were accepted!!!</p>
<p>I was waitlisted yet again…atleast this one sounds encouraging as opposed to the others. Im not sure if i could be clinically considered dyslexic but whatever. </p>
<p>Life goes on…</p>
<p>jesus nothing still… we can call?</p>
<p>Yes…I called them and they gave me my bad news over the phone. Good luck, jckund. I hope you get a better answer than I did. I just want to crawl into a hole.</p>
<p>I’d rather see my letter so I’m more prepared.</p>
<p>what number did you call? i called the number on the website and even though it’s office hours right now, im getting a message that says to call back during office hours and i cant get to anybody?</p>
<p>Yeah, I called the number on their website. Maybe they’re swamped with phone calls from kids who haven’t heard back. I hope you have better luck than I did.</p>
<p>im sorry for the people who called and got rejected. but what were your stats if you don’t mind? thanks</p>
<p>LS4EVER,
My overall GPA is a 3.59 and I scored 30 on ACT last April. What killed my GPA were my first 2 years of high school, when I was sick, getting medical care, and missed a TON of school. My junior year I made almost all As, and so far this year has been the same. My essays explained my illness b/c it affected me in a huge way (cancer/depression will do that), so I hoped that adcoms would see how I’d changed once I got better and what I’m capable of doing. Didn’t happen. Overcoming life-threatening adversity isn’t all that important to them. You can probably tell I am a little bitter about it. BUT, I’m also very thankful to be alive and able to GO to college (not in active cancer treatments now) so I have it better than most patients. I just wish adcoms would have given me some credit for the huge improvements I made in school/learning once I got better. Guess it truly is a numbers game after all.</p>
<p>Actually, I think u did well, swissmiss3, and I’m surprised you were not waitlisted or accepted. Your story should have moved the admission people. My S only got 29 on the ACT, 2000 on the SAT, and his weighted GPA was a 3.43. He did take 8 AP’s though. He is waitlisted @ Wake which was his first choice. He is leaning more toward Tulane now, though. We will visit Tulane on Tuesday for the first time. Chances are, he will love it. Swissmiss3, have you decided yet on a school? Please try to see them in person before deciding. Remember you will spend the next 4 years there.</p>
