I didn't get in probably because I was a mix of science and humanities.. a little too sciencey, and they decided I didn't have the passion to go there. my GPA was low. I'm not totally upset, because I could see why they rejected me, and I would've rejected myself if I were on the committee. I loved my interviewer though.. and the campus is wonderful.
Congrats to everyone accepted, and condolences for those who weren't.</p>

I got waitlisted at Columbia and Dartmouth and I got a guaranted transfer from Cornell ( so i can go next year if i wanna.) Now im waiting on Emory (my #1 choice.)
