Rejected!!! No surprise here. It is kind of like losing the lottery; it’s dissapointing, but ne need to really be affected by it.

tintin220 · March 31, 2008, 5:30pm

Waitlisted, I will post stats later, or you can see my stats profile. I have some huge ECs and awards that aren’t on there though that I thought would pull me through (as they did with Caltech and MIT). I also got a “likely” call from Pton, so I guess I was presumptuous.

sylenteck0 · March 31, 2008, 5:32pm

What site was this?

I can’t find the link >_>

ethanrt · March 31, 2008, 5:32pm

Congrats to all who got in, condolences and sympathies to those who didn’t.

Don’t forget to fill out or update those stats profiles!

rofflez · March 31, 2008, 5:33pm
