<p>wow all the CC regulars rejected or deferred, what about that silver girl ?</p>
<p>lol...i would expect silver waves to get up at whatever hour of the night in order to get her decision</p>
<p>Oh, the bitter tears of rejection. I'm afraid silver_waves suffered a similar fate, and is not here because she didn't get the answer she was looking for.</p>
<p>I feel like *<strong><em>, and I hate that this board is repressing my freedom of *</em></strong>ing speech.</p>
<p>I got deferred. The hardest part about it is that my best friend got in. What a sticky situation.
Is it me or do the people getting rejected or deferred have better stats than those getting accepted. No offense to those who got in, but I'm just curious how the adcom made their decisions. Wow, I'm bitter. Sorry.
Well of too the other applications. Good luck to everyone, this wait till April for all the schools is going to be brutal.</p>
<p>Not about your stats man, its about fitting in to the school.</p>
<p>hey, i have better stats than some people who got accepted.....and I always though that I went through a LOT more crap than them in my life...but Columbia adcoms are so random...I just don't get them...hopefully, they'll recognize my passion for Columbia when they make decision again.................................</p>
<p>Deferred...I'm just numb right now I guess. </p>

<p>columbia made a mistake, glory should be celebrating now but she isnt.</p>
<p>For whoever asked, here's what my Dartmouth rejection letter looked like:</p>
<p>Dear Elizabeth,</p>
<p>After thoughtful consideration of your early decision candidacy, the Admissions Committee has decided to deny your application. By informing you of this final decision at this time, it is our hope that you will have ample time to consider other options for your post-secondary education and to file other applications.</p>
<p>Your early decision application was reviewed with great care and sincere interest. The task of selecting 1,075 Dartmouth first-year students from nearly 12,000 applicants is a difficult and time-consuming process. Unfortunately, we must deny many highly qualified applicants as the majority of students who apply to Dartmouth present records demonstrating that they would succeed both academically and personally at the College.</p>
<p>I am sorry that the decision on your Dartmouth application was not favorable, and I would like to offer you my best wishes for a fine college experience and my appreciation for your interest in Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Karl M. Furstenberg
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid </p>
<p>I imagine Columbia's is similar.</p>
<p>yea, if anything i thought the two shoo-ins were you (contessa) and glory. oh well. c'est la vie. anyways, congrats contessa, im sure u'll make a great columbian. and glory, hang in there...</p>
<p>I know, my stats were pretty bad in comparison - well, at least SAT anyway.</p>
<p>but I think my theory on it all is that our culture is getting so geared into numbers numbers numbers -- Columbia is one of the few schools (definitely only Ivy) to look beyond that and find qualities about a student that aren't just reflected in a transcript. And, I've got to appreciate that. I've never gotten that 1400, and I didn't find the cure for cancer -- but every bone in my body tells me that I'm right for Columbia. And not just because I wear black all the time and because I think I'm "so New York." I didn't want to apply to any Ivies, but Columbia was it. That's the place where I want to come of age, the place where I want to make friends I'll never forget.</p>
<p>And yeah, I feel kind of bad because I know some of those "low stat acceptances" comment was directed toward me, but I understand the frustration. It boggles my mind, too. But I'm glad, I'm glad my admissions officer got to see that side of me that I was hoping would show through my essay.</p>
<p>I really hope Silver is okay...</p>
<p>SEAS 09' </p>
<p>from cali to NYC...here we come</p>
<p>the low stat acceptances things are just frustration, don't feel bad sadia...</p>
<p>yeah where are you chris?!</p>
<p>Deferred. Geez, it seems like 80 percent of those on this board were either rejected or deferred. Great, I'm going to be in this state for a few more months.</p>

<p>oh and 1st generation college student.</p>
<p>this board is kinda depressing b/c i expected a lot more people from CC to get in. i really wanted to meet everyone, you're all great students. i am so aware that admissions is a crapshoot. i could easily have been R as well.</p>
