2 of my friends got accepted

@Jay3030 If you get into one, you can automatically take courses at the other university too. You do not need to have been admitted to both for that :wink:

A bucket of cold water to the face. That’s how it felt. All the best for those accepted.

One friend rejected apparently, waiting on the other one

@esperantist I’m sorry I haven’t been on cc for very long…but can I ask why?

Accepted :slight_smile:

I wonder what it’s like getting into colleges

Rejected

Daughter was Accepted! We are beyond thrilled.

Many of you guys got rejected, but the fact that you considered applying to MIT shows that you are a top applicant and that you will definitely get into another great school. Good luck!
