Major research paper...</p>
<p>Wow. I expected to be waitlisted, but, compared to some of the acceptances....I'm bitter...</p>
<p>Rejected.... </p>
<p>1350/1980.... 3.84 UW..... 28/822....good luck to everyone else</p>
<p>I haven't recieved an email yet...is that a bad sign? (I live on the west coast)</p>
<p>rejected as well
2110 sat1 790/640 sat2s. pretty decent ECs IMO. gpa is a bit on the low end, and i'm sure that's what killed me (despite the fact i did very well junior year..)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same here for me in NH, and I put my email on the application.</p>
<p>"Looking at this board, so far, my decision seems like BS."</p>
<p>haha. there is more to an application than numbers my friend. don't be bitter. also, even with a great SAT score, its hard to make up for a low UW gpa.</p>
