<p>so many people from my school got into cornell…</p>

<p>None of my friends who applied to Cornell and Harvard got accepted. Cornell rejected 2. Harvard deferred 2. All of them were extremely qualified- stellar grades, SAT scores and ECs. Cant imagine how things will turn out for us.</p>

<p>3 of my friends got into harvard…the queasiness is real! </p>

<p>My best friend just got into Harvard; the anxiousness is building up.</p>

<p>six out of ten got into cornell </p>

<p>Cornell is my second choice after Penn… hoping I don’t have to get that far :-S </p>

<p>I wish penn decisions came out today too</p>

<p>three out of three rejected from columbia at my school, and one got into cornell</p>

<p>Holy cow!! We have like 2 people go to Ivy caliber schools each year and my school isn’t exactly small. Are y’all in state or something so more kids apply and/or get accepted?</p>

<p>Yo Cornell accepted like everyone…if only Penn would be so generous this year as well >.<</p>

<p>this week moving in turtle pace…why make everyone wait till Monday?? crazy!!!</p>

<p>@BlueOreos‌ i heard that people dropped out of vagelos MLS more because of faltering interest, not vigor ._. something about how MLS is more for those interested in ALL sciences and more of a research-based career? incidentally, i’m leaning more towards a research-based career but that might be because i don’t have any clinical experience; obviously, anything could change as time goes</p>

<p>AHHH I can’t take this wait any longer. All I do is check this page and try to do homework. What are you guys doing to distract yourselves?</p>

<p>Honestly? Think over what UPenn means to you. None of us are even students there.</p>

<p>I see UPenn as one of my first and largest challenges in life. It is the college of my dreams; the place where I see myself becoming the best person that I can. This is where I want to fight, and learn, and struggle, to reach my goal to become a doctor (okay, long run. long run).
But is UPenn the only place in the world where I can strive for my best? In a sense, no.
Is this challenge going to be my Greek Kairos, that will come to define me throughout the rest of my life? I hope not, if I become a half decent doctor that is.
Do I want to be the guy who’s scared shivering at every such opportunity? No.
Is there anything else that I can do to improve my odds? No.
Is there any benefit in worrying about results? No.
And if they reject me, will the door be closed forever? Honestly, if I really want to, I could take a gap year.</p>

<p>Life is long. Life has bigger goals. Be honest with yourself, and you’ll see why it is so pointless to worry about this.</p>

<p>Wow you are very right. That is important to hear, so thank you.</p>
