<p>I'm so sorry. If you're anything like your username, I'm sure that you can "persist" through this and through life. Being rejected at schools is no sign of your being a bad person - there have been many waitlists/rejections this year which I've seen on CC which seem completely unfair. </p>
<p>persist -- Are you an international applicant needing financial aid? If yes, I've heard that fa is difficult to get for international applicants. If no, have you really heard from all your schools? There may still be hope. Anyway, after a few days, think about making more applications. Many great schools will still have openings after contracts are due April 10th.</p>
<p>Persist -- You'll be fine. Like the posters above me have said, schools are trying to build the most diverse community and not necessarily a community with the most qualified applications. And sometimes, decisions defy all common sense and rationality. I hope everything goes well for you.</p>

<p>So far, I have all rejections\waitlists, too. Waitlisted at Hotchkiss and no UPS truck from Andover. :D</p>
<p>um..depends on what schools you are applying to...if say they are andover exeter SPS choate hotchkiss and "safety" lawrenceville...it's completely fair, as most people would tell you you cant expect anything from these schools....but still...nothing's fair in the admissions process..</p>
