<p>:-( I was pulling for you cowtipper :-/</p>
<p>oh well...waitlisted</p>
<p>waitlisted at UPenn too. rejected at harvard and dartmouth.</p>
<p>and cornell, of course, has the broken servers.</p>
<p>i love brown so much...</p>
<p>Accepted! Stats In Previous Posts =]</p>
<p>Sorry, I'm bad with the tags. </p>
<p>WAITLISTED
SAT I: 2290 (800 CR/780 M/710 WR)
SAT II: 2320 (780 US/770 LIT/770 MII)
GPA: 3.82 unw/4.41 w
RANK: 14/768
AP'S: 4 5'S, plus 5 more this year and Calc III
Extras: The killer for my apps, probably. Only average or worse for the Ivies. Spent my time with Clarinet, German and Youth and Government, only a couple of awards and leadership postitions. Some more academic awards, but nothing really special. </p>
<p>Thoughts: I'm accepting a place. This was...not the afternoon that I hoped for, (2 rejections and 2 waitlists), but I am a resilient person, and I am sitting here with 4 outright acceptances, including such excellent options as NYU (with scholarship!!), Carleton, and Wellesley. I'll be going to an excellent school next year, and I know that my value as a person goes far beyond these schools.</p>
<p>i don't know why but i started to like BROWN... Maybe it is because of the acception letter... Hahaayyyttt sefam olsun oh oh!!! davsan avi baslasin!!! </p>

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I'm apparently the first non-recruited student to get into Brown from my school in a few years now, so I'm EXTREMELEY happy, especially since I didn't really consider Brown all too much because of that. Ready to visit sometime the next month. Congrats to all the others that got in and best of luck to those that got rejected - hope you guys get into other schools that you'll love!</p>
<p>Rejected :( Got into NYU Stern though</p>
<p>rejected....
congrats to everyone else</p>
<p>ed accepted but so far 5 from my school have been accepted</p>
<p>Meh, rejected, but after deferral, I wasn't really expecting anything. Plus, I'm into two schools that I love, one of which offered me a special honors program that only goes to 5% of the student body.</p>
