<p>Rejected
Upset to say the least. Classmate did get in, but I have higher grades, scores, GPA, course load etc… Makes no sense</p>

75

<p>Accepted
So many people with better grades than mine are getting rejected. I don’t know why I’ve had such good luck with the college admissions process - accepted at Tufts, Georgetown, Rice, Penn, Michigan, and a few others with a crappy 3.8 and a 690 math SAT?! Why?! Maybe they want me for my ACT score, but I’m astounded that I haven’t been rejected yet.</p>

76

<p>Accepted! Pretty excited</p>

77

<p>@cruxclaire Your ACT score was amazing, stoppit :] I actually got a 680 CR and was accepted here…although I think my other sections made up for it, on the most part.</p>

78

<p>Accepted - int’l student. Can’t wait to see you guys on there!</p>

79

<p>Confused. I got wait listed at Tufts but was accepted to Williams, Swarthmore, and Yale. I don’t want to claim “Tufts Syndrome” but maybe it does exist?</p>
