<p>@Euthyphro -- w t f (lol @ the censor)..i dont understand why you were rejected while i was accepted...you seem to be more qualified than i am...i mean..your SAT's and GPA are higher than mind..and just overall too..i really dont get it..that doesnt seem fair. i feel super bad! ahh..i hope you get into another school that you're happy with attending though! and good luck if you're still waiting to hear from other colleges!!</p>
<p>Thanks snapcakes, but I don't think I'm much of a fit for them. It's fine. I just wish I hadn't just been rejected from my number one choice, Oberlin. I'm having bad luck with these college applications. Sigh.</p>
<p>ahh im sorry to hear you were rejected from oberlin :(
well i am glad at least that you didnt really want to go to BU cause then it would really suck after being rejected..hope you have better luck in the future!!!</p>
