[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I am shocked beyond belief! I just saw that I was Wait-Listed at Cornell before I checked Dartmouth so I figured that there was no chance I'd get in, so this was a total shock! I still don't believe it at all and I was completely expecting rejection. This is incredible! [/li][/ul]Other Factors:

just got rejected from cornell, so this is nice!!! I LOVE DARTMOUTH!!! XD</p>

<p>OK I'll be brave........ first one waitlisted! I'd rather not post stats (I'm anxiously waiting on some other schools so don't want to waste time ;))</p>

<p>CONGRATS to all! I've chosen not to accept a spot on the waitlist so I won't be seeing any of you around, unfortunately. Good luck at Dartmouth :)</p>

<p>Waitlisted! But I was expecting to get rejected, so it's okay. I don't even think I would've gone to Dartmouth even if they did accept me. </p>

<p>And I was reading through this thread and someone mentioned Cornell, and I thought AAH Cornell's out? So.. feeling quite scared, I went to check Cornell, and I got in SO I don't feel too bad about being waitlisted for Dartmouth. I didn't even get a likely letter for Cornell. XD</p>

<p>no, i didn't get a likely. but I'm glad to get in. It's keeping me from becoming utterly despondent over getting rejected at yale, my far and away first choice. meh. maybe I'll be seeing you all at dartmouth next year!</p>
