<p>All of my recs were really good, as were the essays. EC's were solid, but not spectacular. What can I say? ***** happens. Now it's back to the drawing board.</p>
<p>quagmire, are you sure there wasn't any defect, any major weak spot, it's ok if you don't feel like saying anything, but I was just curious, what you tell us looks too strong for rejection...</p>
<p>if you have normal ECs you ain't goin Ivy.</p>

<p>guys, remember to take out all the spaces in the brackets!!!!!</p>
<p>also congrats vincere</p>
<p>oh, and congratulations!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>yeah sorry forgot about the brackets to ****ing happy thanks for fixing it</p>
<p>I didnt really have a hook, except for most of my ECs were law-related and showed extreme interest in law, however, I guess that wasn't enough of a "hook." I also played football and rugby, not that those are related to law...lol. My main weakness would probably be that I'm taking most of my APs senior year. Although, because of the way schedules work at my school and school policy, that's what most people do; I don't know of any other glaring weaknesses.
Anyway, I'd like to say congrats to those who were accepted, good luck in RD for those who were deferred, and condolences to those who were denied (I know how you feel).
Who knows, if I get into Bowdoin and decide to go, then maybe I'll be able to visit one of those infamous Alpha Delta fart parties.</p>
<p>you from the chicago area vincere? I go to new trier and have the same SAT and ACT as you... weird</p>
<p>*FRAT parties.</p>
<p>Whoah, thats kinda embarrassing.</p>
<p>i am so relieved now. I can now go skiing this weekend without worrying about getting into college.... :D</p>
<p>condolences to all those who didnt get in. I am sure that you will be able to go to an amazing college anyways!</p>
