<p>So I thought this would be entertaining. What schools are notoriously known, jokingly or not, as reject schools for another school?</p>
<p>You know like: Boston University is for Boston College rejects?</p>
<p>I know many of these aren't necessarily true, and this is all just in good fun!</p>
<p>Funny thread. Most of those are more jokes than actual truths but it is entertaining! </p>
<p>Some of the ones I’ve heard:</p>
<p>Caltech is for MIT rejects.</p>
<p>Berkeley is for Stanford rejects.</p>
<p>Michigan is for Northwestern rejects.</p>
<p>UNC is for Duke rejects. </p>
<p>Tufts is for Harvard rejects. </p>
<p>Northwestern is for Chicago rejects.</p>
<p>There’s many others and they’re more just playful bragging than actual realities. </p>
<p>: )</p>
<p>For a while there were actual domain names illustrating some of these comparisons. Students would buy them. “mitrejects.com” redirected to the Caltech website, “stanfordrejects.com” to Berkeley’s website, and “northwesternrejects.com” to Michigan’s website. I don’t think they exist anymore though.</p>
<p>Edit: “stanfordrejects.com” still exists.</p>
<p>Yale is for Harvard rejects. (safetyschool.org)</p>
<p>Completely untrue! but as said above, it’s all in fun :)</p>
<p>^Haha that’s outrageous. In what world is yale a safety school? :P</p>
<p>Reddog, I remember those domain names. “northwesternrejects.com” was functioning and redirecting to Umichigan’s site up until like a few months ago I think. Also, “Uchicagorejects.com” use to redirect to Northwestern’s website.</p>
<p>The joke of the matter is that most Michigan students never have any interest in even attending Northwestern. Check out CBS television Monday night around 9PM to see just one of the many reasons why. :-)</p>
<p>Do you guys think any of them are at all true?</p>
<p>Yes and No, Jakey.</p>
<p>For instance, I don’t doubt that many students at Tufts were rejected from Harvard. Nor would I be surprised if a lot of UNC kids were rejected at Duke. That being said, however, I think those comparisons are all very exaggerated. I’m sure a good amount of kids at Tufts didn’t even apply to Harvard.</p>
<p>Although,
It’s simple statistics that if several hundred student apply to both Harvard and Tufts, a good portion of those kids will be Tufts admits and Harvard rejects. The same is a reality for all those comparisons. However, that doesn’t mean the less selective school is definitively for rejects of the more selective school.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech for University of Virginia rejects</p>
<p>Boston University for Northeastern rejects</p>
<p>Penn State University for University of Pittsburgh rejects</p>
<p>University of Georgia for Georgia Tech rejects</p>
<p>Michigan State University for University of Michigan rejects</p>
<p>North Carolina State University for University of North Carolina-CH rejects</p>
<p>Texas A&M University for University of Texas at Austin rejects</p>
<p>This is not a joke.</p>
<p>columbia reject-head to brandeis-brandeis rejects head to nyu-nyu rejects goto marist-marist rejects goto univ of new haven or u of delaware. </p>
<p>p.s. in reality they all are very good schools.</p>
<p>It’s almost like a chain:</p>
<p>Harvard rejects go to Columbia, Columbia rejects go to Cornell, Cornell rejects go to Tufts, Tufts rejects go to University of Rochester, Rochester rejects go to Boston University, Boston university rejects go to Rutgers. </p>
<p>Some of the biggest ones I’ve heard:</p>
<p>UVA is for Vandy rejects
Michigan is for Northwestern rejects
Tufts is for Harvard rejects
UT Austin is for Rice rejects.
Boston college is for georgetown rejects.</p>
