*Official 2011 RD Decisions Thread*

<p>im sorry =(
did you call the office?</p>

<p>something like that :)</p>

<p>Lawlz. Dartmouth. I get to spend the next 4 years with Ahrahrahrah Cho.</p>

<p>Unless Caltech has something to say about this :)</p>

<p>Accepted. </p>

<p>Stunned. X Infinity.</p>

<p>I officially have no idea where to go anymore. I thought for sure Stanford would reject me and I would go to Williams or Brown. Gah.</p>

<p>when I log in to the site, it just says "decisions will be posted march 30 blah blah blah." I tried again after deleting cookies, and it said the same thing.</p>

<p>Does that just mean I got rejected?</p>

<p>Accepted.</p>

<p>Stunned. X (Infinity + 1).</p>

<p>Accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Totally unexpected!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!</p>

<p>Accepted...thrilled.</p>

<p>Waitlisted (I am also MallomarCookie for those who haven't caught on already. It would just be embarrassing to have over 5000 posts on one account :))</p>

<p>ACCEPTED! Stanford, here I come!</p>

<p>But then again, I'll have to decide between Stanford, Yale, Harvard, and Pomona... OH the choices, the choices..</p>

<p>rejected, with perfect scores on the SAT and the ACT, 4.0, fives on 7 AP tests, violin, Science Bowl captain, Amnesty International president, great teacher/counselor recs etc. I have no clue why, but I got into Yale so it's okay.</p>

<p>^Congrats. You are so blessed. I was rejected (Yale, Princeton, Penn) and waitlisted (Stanford, Harvard) everywhere despite the same situation.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted!!!</p>

<p>Congrats to all who got in! Enroll and don't go to a snobby ivy! :P Know you guys will do well there.
To those who are rejected, at least we applied right? Maybe we're not the most qualified but at least we tried. I definetely will be more depressed if I didn't try. ^_^
To those waitlisted, don't give up hope!</p>

<p>Hey Jimbob/Mallomar - I was pulling for you! Waitlisting makes it more complicated... but you got Duke! </p>

<p>Stanford was my first choice for many years also (and I look hot in red) I got rejected with 35 ACT....</p>

<p>Got Regents Scholarships at all UC's where I applied... I think I'll be at UCSD.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Accepted!!</p>

<p>got waitlisted :[
i got into all the UCs though!!!
