@AGoodFloridian you are very humble and mature in handling the situation. I am sorry many schools have denied you admission, you are very qualified. As far as being in CC goes, maybe it is looked at a little differently, but you have otger amazing credentials to back it up and you are an amazing student. Best of luck to you for future schools!

@SeinfeldFan1 Thank you for such a nice comment :slight_smile: I’m not completely bummed out because I know, despite everything, that I’m still doing well in school- my GPA has to mean something at some point :))

I’m taking 10 credits over the Summer and if I get rejected/waitlisted at my last two choices, then I’ll be taking possibly 19 credits this Fall, again, with the hardest classes available to me. If it comes to that scenario, then I’d be applying to the top colleges that admit students in the Spring. MIT is among them <3

But I don’t want to think too much about that, I really hope I hear goods news from either of the final two. (Colorado College and USC.)

I’m really close to calling any of these colleges and asking for particulars on my rejection. Not to ease my mind or anything, but to see the weak points in my application and iron them out if there’s a next time.

67

Does anyone know if there’s any chance off the waitlist? I seriously have no idea.

@AGoodFloridian good luck! You really are handling this remarkably well and even if it’s not right now, I have faith you’ll be admitted to a great school.

@armadaswim honestly, it’s probably a pretty slim chance but it’s worth a try if you really want to go. You can try calling the admissions office to ask. I’m on the waitlist at Amherst and I called to ask some general questions and then sent a letter to the dean of admissions just kind of stating why I thought it was a good fit and that I would still attend if I were admitted. Something similar might work at Swat.

Unfortunately, I had to turn down my admission today.
Good luck to those on the waitlist!
