[/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I’m just a little confused. After getting waitlisted from Wesleyan and rejected from Pomona, I totally expected rejection from Brown. I don’t really understand not getting into Wesleyan when people who got rejected from Brown got into Wesleyan. I guess I’ll probably deposit at Carleton or Oberlin and hope that Wesleyan or Brown come through.
