[/ul]Other Factors: General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: This has been one weird year... but at my IB school (I don't take classes at my main H.S.) we got three into Cornell =D</p>
<p>Yes, I was waitlisted, and am pleased with it, lol. Congrats to all who made it in! Cornell was a reach for me; not to get flat out rejected is amazing. My scores were all over the place: some good, others really bad. So that makes even more surprising. I do have a question though: College of the Holy Cross waitlisted me as well, and as a result I thought Cornell would reject me (college admissions are truly subjective). How could two schools miles apart in terms of quality and rankings come to the same decision? I am not catholic, perhaps? Congrats again to the freshman. Rest assured I will try my hardest to get in (again).</p>
