I’ve been rejected by 3 schools so far today (Tufts, Penn, and Cornell). Rejection is tough, but we have to remind ourselves that it says NOTHING about our worth as a person. Let’s look to the bright futures we have ahead of us.</p>

<p>Waitlisted. :confused: I don’t even know what that means really… Better than rejected.</p>

<p>Ummm…I guess I got a guaranteed transfer to ILR? I’m kinda confused.</p>

<p>Rejected. Ah well, it’s more the journey than the destination that counts, right?</p>

<p>did yours say this: </p>

<p>"Thank you for your application to Cornell University. We regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to Cornell. Given our very large and competitive applicant pool, it is not possible to offer admission to all candidates who would benefit from a Cornell education.</p>

<p>Within the next few days you will receive notification from the undergraduate college to which you’ve applied that you are being offered a transfer option. Please contact the college directly if you have any questions.</p>

<p>We wish you the best as you consider your collegiate options."</p>

<p>I think I got the same?</p>
