<p>I…take back some of the hate I earlier expressed. I got accepted by Purdue whereas two of my friends with the same GPA got waitlisted. They are much more hardworking than me. Err I feel a little guilty right now. Guess I should not take my Purdue admission for granted. Woooh I would probably go crazy if I was waitlisted so I should be relieved and happy. SMILE :)</p>
<p>stressfulstress - “The fact that my best friends have become my competition.”</p>
<p>^ this.</p>
<p>1) I hate that holistic processes are vague.
2) I hate that I procrastinate.</p>
<p>i hate how people complain about getting deferred by a school and talk about being incredibly sad
how the **** do you think the people who got rejected feel?</p>
<p>I keep shifting between being sure I’ll get into my ED school and the knowing I have no chance. I wish I just knew.
And if I get rejected, I dunno. On one hand I know I wasn’t meant to go to that school, and the admissions committee probably knows better than I would that I do/don’t belong at the school. But at the same time I know I’ll feel incredibly ashamed and like I’m not worth anything.
I’m just really anxious to hear about my decision.</p>
<p>I hate how being rejected from my dream school cost me $100 and felt like I’d just gone through the world’s most painful breakup.
I hate how people who got accepted to my dream school had worse stats and don’t seem to have any humility about how lucky they were to get accepted.
I hate how now I’m scrambling to apply to 5-6 other schools that I don’t really feel very strongly about.
I hate how my test scores still weren’t good enough after three tries, and how there’s nothing I can do to change them now.
I hate how I’ll probably end up at state college with the rest of my graduating class and how I’ll have to live an hour away from my home town for the next four years.
Wow, sorry to be a downer, but I had to get that off my chest. This process SUCKS.</p>
<p>I hate the wait to hear back from my dream school Boston University </3 Ahhh hurry!!! Lol I pray I get accepted</p>
<p>Omg your are so right I’m just an average new yorker who wants to go to the best state school not ivies or ish</p>

<p>I hate how every condems me for wanting to go to a state school. I live in new york so we have some of the best state schools in the nation I never wanted to go to ivies.</p>

<p>I hate how my dad refuses to allow me to go to binghamton if i get in when i would be saving him money because he thinks it isnt nationally recognized</p>
<p>Oh wow binghampton is recognized!! I think it’s a great school! I can’t believe he wouldn’t let you go there</p>
<p>lol i know!! That is the comical part of my statement. I have no idea why!!</p>
<p>Lol parents are stubborn like that sometimes. My parents were like that about BU, but I broke through to them after a month or so of explaining why I need to go there :)</p>
<p>I just got deferred from my dream school Boston University… F MY LIFE!!! I am so upset I can’t even function. The reason why I am so upset is because I know I have to wait until April to probably get a rejection letter… I AM SO UPSET OMGYOU HAVE NO IDEA… I know it’s not a rejection but I just can’t believe it… I want to ball my eyes out right now… DAM!!! Ugh ahhhhhhhhhh I am going crazy!!!</p>
<p>BUgebs, I am so sorry you did not get accepted :’( It sounds like you really had your heart set on BU. I wish you the best of luck for April admission! Just keep your chin up! I am sure you were an excellent applicant</p>
<p>Thank you @reallyconfused12 <3 I hope I get in APRIL :)</p>
<p>its BU’s loss for not accepting you EA, lol! where else are they gonna find someone who loves the school as much as you do. Don’t worry mate you’ll get in RD, I’m banking on it :)!</p>
<p>Nothing wrong w/ a 3.0 uw gpa. Don’t beat yourself up. Be proud of your hard work. My heart goes out to all of you who have worked hard and are striving for the best possible education. Good luck!</p>
<p>Right now it’s seeming that the entire point of applying to colleges is to stress you out as much as possible during your senior year. I wish I could just forget about it and enjoy my classes without having to worry what colleges will think of them. This year I ended up with 5 AP’s and a language class in which I skipped two levels (right from Chinese year 2 to Chinese 5). I also wish that people/colleges would understand that I’m not taking my classes to impress colleges, but because I sincerely want to. And because I already took the other available science/math classes so now all that was left was the AP sciences. And as for Chinese, Chinese 3 wouldn’t fit into my schedule and neither would Chinese 4 (which I was planning to skip to anyways), and Chinese 5 would. I’m also annoyed that one of my very close friends has her mum doing practically everything for her. The mum already filled out all of her applications, scheduled interviews, made a resume (as well as pushed her daughter into great ECs a few years earlier), got teacher rec’s, etc. The only thing the mum didn’t do was write the actual essays. I’m happy for my friend, but I think it’s unfair. I just want all this to be over already :|</p>
<p>agreed guys…
also say what you want, it sucks being “exceptional”.
35 act, 3.95 UW GPA at top public HS in WI by at least 2 ratings (or so the principal says)
NHS, National Merit Semifinalist, NHS, Drum Major in Marching Band, Section leader in 5 ensembles, title role in the fall musical. I’m number 9 in my class of 300 people. so much stress, and people expect you to be perfect all the time…
UGH.
also, why does wanting to go to Notre Dame instead of Ivies make you less intelligent in some people’s eyes?? It’s seriously just as good a school, but they dont have early decision so they cant manipulate their selectivity and yield. and real people actually go there…</p>
<p>im done.</p>
