<p>I’m terribly sorry for not bothering to post my stats…I’m too distraught. I got denied to BC and waitlisted to Northeastern as well…I am also waiting for Amherst, Middlebury, BU, and Tufts. If these colleges deny or waitlist me, I will most likely be going to Clark…I am sad right now. Hope it’s for the best.</p>
<p>By the way, posted a few negative posts in the BC forum. I ask that whoever reads those does not hold my negative opinion of BC against me…although there would have been less of a chance for those who read it to have done so had I not have posted this edit.</p>

<p>This was my second rejection letter. I was rejected EDII from Tufts, which felt pretty bad, so I was not expecting acceptance from Wesleyan.</p>
<p>I Do not have outstanding scores, nor do I shine spectacularly in anyway. I am not too dissapointed, as I have been accepted to Brandeis, Connecticut College, Northeastern and have received a likely letter from the coach at Trinity.</p>
<p>I am a pretty easy going person and I don’t think that I would have fit in with the intellectual competitiveness of Wesleyan. Not to say that it is a competitive school, but that there is bound to be some pressure when you are surrounded by brilliant students.</p>
<p>Best of luck, and Congratulations to all who were accepted!</p>
