Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied:</p>
<p>juliahelen-- sorry i know that sounds bad... but it was my first decision from a match school, so i feel like it would have been a really bad omen if i didn't get in. also i would have had to wait like a week until i get more letters so i know i would be having a panic attack. i am obsessed with college if you hadn't noticed.</p>
<p>carpecollege-I go to Inglemoor, i'm really from a suburb. thanks for saying so, i wish the adcoms agreed with you!
i know what you mean about being
really nervous about getting into cmc or not--now that i didn't get in, it seems a lot more likely that i won't be getting into any of my other matches. plus i really really liked cmc, i'm really sad. i checked at 9 last night and went out right after that, so i haven't really thought about it until now, but it's really kinda depressing!!!</p>
<p>estrella-- i REALLY don't think that is true. I was thinking about this because alot of the waitlisted people have really good stats, and i honestly think that the reason i got in was because my personality/interestes match CMC really well, and i have heard (on princetonreview) that they try to get people who match the personality of the school. I guess what i am trying to say is that you might not be the right match for this school but that doesn't say anything about your other schools!!</p>
<p>carpecollege, who was your non-traditional leader? I was accepted too, which I wasn't expecting because of my non traditional leader. I wrote my essay on Oprah</p>
<p>ha ha no oprah is definitely a leader. i wrote about someone i met while i was in china last summer. basicallly i said we needed more people like her... but she isn't someone who is well known, it was just a cool experience for me... anyway it's hard to explain.</p>
