<p>to echo what someone in the harvard thread said, some of these decisions are like crapshoots. haha, there's no point in trying to establish a pattern for acceptances or rejections. again, congrats to all who got in.</p>
<p>REJECTED WOO HOO!!!!! I don't care. I didn't think I had a chance anyway. What ruined my chances were my results from the SAT subject tests. They were like 500, 570 and 660. OUCH!!!!! I also didn't think I had any chance at any Ivy League, yet I GOT WAITLISTED AT COLUMBIA! And I got in 9 great schools and I got waitlisted at Johns Hopkins!</p>
