<p>gary7, I’m 0 for 2. Waitlists. And I basically consider waitlists to be the same as rejections, especially since I know I wouldn’t make a second cut. I’ve been told that’s unreasonable. Meh. Whatever.</p>

<p>In any case… I’m starting to feel like I know I won’t get in anywhere, and that just makes me feel really apathetic. I look at other people’s credentials and I know I have no chance.</p>

<p>I think that if I don’t get in anywhere this year, I just won’t go anywhere at all.</p>

<p>So it goes…</p>

122

<p>At least you know you are good enough if you got 2 waitlists :slight_smile: And there’s always hope of making it considering the variable yields this year.</p>

<p>I just got an email acceptance from Reed last night. Has any one else heard back yet?</p>

124

<p>^Almost everyone has, bootherizer. Congratulations!</p>

125

<p>Rejected. Feels really horrible. Reed was top choice and I’m sure I’m going to be rejected everywhere (Richmond wants me to pay full fees to be waitlisted!) :(</p>

126

<p>I’m so sorry, tagbanda. I’m sure something will work out though.</p>

127

<p>Thanks. Fingers crossed, got only three colleges to go, but hopes are very low…</p>

128

<p>Wow, there’s alot of international’s here…cool…Is any one a transfer student by any chance? I won’t fin out till the middle of may which REALLY sucks…</p>

<p>For those of you who got accepted, do you mind my asking what your stats are? I just wanna get an impression of whether I should continue to hope or just give up completely…</p>

129

<p>I got in! Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9
ACT: 34
SAT: 2210
Extracurriculars: French Club pres., NHS, Model UN, Peer Court, Drama Club, Greek teacher and student, Environmental Club…other stuff I can’t remember
My Common App essay was about my experience in Paraguay last summer as a volunteer for Amigos de las Americas. </p>

<p>I also got accepted to Lewis & Clark, U of Puget Sound, and Middlebury but I think my mum has already decided on Reed for me because of the financial aid. Which is fine by me; it’s probably my top choice here anyway :)</p>

<p>Congrats Majikat! God I wish I could have high testing scores, but standardized testing wasn’t meant for me.</p>

<p>Way to go dude! At least I have the gpa, the testing…yeah not my thing…</p>
