<p>Decision: Waitlisted (college)</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>ACT: 35</li>
<li>SAT IIs: 760, 730, 750</li>
<li>GPA: 4.0 uw</li>
<li>Rank: 1/220</li>
</ul>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essays: Good quality, IMO, better than ones that got my into NYU</li>
<li>Teacher Recs: A bit generic, but they were heartfelt</li>
<li>Counselor Rec: Never saw, but our counsler is very good
*Hook: Lots of student government involvement, tons of leadership, political op-eds in local paper, founded political club, helped edit book on history of my city.</li>
</ul>
<p>Location/Person:</p>
<ul>
<li>State or Country: Da Cheese State</li>
<li>School Type: Parochial</li>
<li>Ethnicity: Caucasian</li>
<li>Gender: Male</li>
</ul>
<p>Why I was waitlisted: I do not know, could be anything from that coveted "look how many valedictorians/great test scores we reject" stat, or my interview, which I was sick during. I'm guessing it is a combination of both. </p>
<p>Even though I probably would not have gone there (no scholarships, no credit transfers, etc.), there is still that "empty/depressed" feeling in me that comes with not being accepted. Kudos to all of you acceptees, let's hope GWU and Harvard are a bit kinder to me. There is always NYU and Marquette Honors (sorry to sound braggy, I'm trying to cheer myself up atm).</p>
<p>Man, I wish I were black!</p>

<p>Silver Wavez</p>
<p>I got a likely from Dartmouth so I am assuming acceptance</p>
<p>Princeton and Stanford : Won't know until like APRIL 4TH OR 5TH WITH MY LOCATION AND ALL</p>
<p>Hey justice, I didn't know you applied to g-town. A long time ago, you critiqued an essay I wrote for Georgetown, and I ended up not using it. I wrote another and got in EA G-town. I have read your posts and always respected you, good luck with Harvard this thursday, I'll be waiting on Brown. What do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>33 ACT, 670/710/710
3.85 UW GPA
Tough courseload (w/ 52 college credit hrs when I graduate)
Good EC's
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW ( Guy said I was the most qualified candidate he had ever interviewed)
WHITE MALE from PUBLIC in MD</p>
<p>REJECTED!!!!</p>
<p>Oh yeah, MSB</p>
<p>Decision: Rejected College</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<ul>
<li> SAT: 1480</li>
<li> SAT IIs: 730,720,720</li>
<li> GPA: 3.9 UW 4.4 W</li>
<li> Rank: 6/144</li>
<li> Other stats: 4 on AP USHist., toughest courseload possible</li>
</ul>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<ul>
<li> Essays: i thought very good</li>
<li> Teacher Recs: both very good, had the chance to read them</li>
<li> Counselor Rec: excellent</li>
<li> Hook (if any): all county distance runner, I really played on my obsession with running</li>
</ul>
<p>Location/Person:</p>
<ul>
<li> State or Country: Northern NJ</li>
<li> School Type: Public</li>
<li> Ethnicity: Caucasian</li>
<li> Gender: male</li>
</ul>
<p>Other Factors:</p>
<p>I'm so upset right now... I just don't know what it takes. I've done everything I possibly could to get into the school and it wasn't good enough. Four years wasted. I'm a white male, upper middle class, public school... I was probably doomed from the beginning.</p>
<p>Decision: Waitlisted (SFS)</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>SAT: 1530 (800V)</li>
<li>SAT IIs: 800 writing, 790 math IIc, 790 world history</li>
<li>GPA: 3.95uw</li>
<li>Rank: 2/490</li>
</ul>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essays: my "world problem" essay was excellent. </li>
<li>Teacher Recs: glowing, extolling my virtues</li>
<li>Counselor Rec: quite personal and not generic at all. my counselor loves me
*Hook: i thought it would be the extremely high levels of political activism, but i guess it wasn't good enough. </li>
</ul>
<p>Location/Person:</p>
<ul>
<li>State or Country: SoCal</li>
<li>School Type: public</li>
<li>Ethnicity: Caucasian</li>
<li>Gender: Male</li>
</ul>
<p>Why I was waitlisted: I thought the interview went pretty well. I don't know though.</p>
<p>I am just not good enough to guess. I'm good enough to earn large amounts of merit money from Brandeis (full), UCLA (Regents), CMC (McKenna Ach.) and so on, but not good enough to get into Georgetown after showing high levels of interest and sending a superb update letter loaded with new accomplishments and a newspaper article I wrote for the town newspaper about my activism. </p>
<p>How did this happen? I am worthless, I postulate.</p>
<p>Hunter, </p>
<p>feel free to give up the marquette honors spot (I'm on the waiting list!), cause i really want it. go to nyu!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>rejected SFS: </p>
<p>1420 sat, 790 writing/720 bio/630 math2
3.80 UW gpa, school rank is really strange, etc..
essays were good, but not great...
recs were good, counsler rec was awsome, interview was good..</p>
<p>but it wasn't my top choice, and wasn't expecting to get in. </p>
<p>good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>oh, and i live on an island on the west coast, so i'm probably one of the last people to get a letter.</p>
