<p>woo! at least i wasnt flat out rejected. ahh the relief of finally knowing :]</p>

<p>I was rejected. I don't really feel bad about it,because I've already been accepted to some amazing schools. I never had a dream school, because I never thought that I would get into many of the schools on my list. This is my first rejection, so it was bound to happen. Congratulations to all of the people who were accepted! Keep your head up, if you are a waitlistee! Hugs to all the people who were rejected!</p>
