<p>I was rejected from harvard and yale. Simple, tons are.</p>
<p>But I applied to Princeton, and the letter comes tomorrow (hopefully).</p>
<p>I'm just wondering how many people who are in my situation are still hanging on, still hoping Princeton can see their worth?</p>
<p>Anyway, you never know. I think of all my applications, my most impressive was Princeton, so I'm not completely w/o hope. </p>
<p>We'll see tomorrow.</p>
<p>princeton and stanford...</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Harvard and rejected from Yale. From what I've heard, personal characteristics like intellectual curiousity seem to be more important for Princeton than for Yale or Harvard, so I'm keeping my hopes up. I liked the Princeton Application because, as cliched as this may sound, it allowed you to express yourself a lot more than Harvard's or even Yale's.</p>
<p>agreed. agreed.</p>
<p>I have no hope! lol rejected from harvard, yale, columbia, and dartmouth.</p>
<p>I have come to the conclusion that "intellectual curiosity" is a cruel myth. Not only did I show it, but I PROVED IT with international recognitions, national writing prizes, published sections in literary magazines, etc. </p>
<p>I was REJECTED from Harvard and Yale. But that's not it....I'm also a first-generation Hispanic! </p>
<p>So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, "intellectual curiosity" as it relatest to the college admissions process.</p>
<p>I'm holding out some hope too for Princeton. It was my top choice anyway (should have applied ED), and I know I have a slim-to-none chance but since I don't have the rejection letter in my hands yet, it's nice to think I could be a Tiger next year.
Good luck everyone! :)</p>
<p>(Oh, I'm sorry Mzlover-- hopefully we both get into P-ton so the rejections won't matter! :))</p>
<p>Rejected by Harvard Yale and Stanford.</p>
<p>I hold NO hope for Princeton because Princeton is better than all these schools (atleast for what I want to do) so why would they accept me :)</p>
<p>u did apply ED there sucharita...right? that coulda been the reason HYS didn't accept u while pton did</p>
<p>I got rejected by Harvard+Yale+Stanford.</p>
<p>And I got a telephone interview with Princeton as an international applicant. Do I stil have hope?</p>
<p>Hope there is hope. But better hope not. Cuz hope does hurt. :)</p>
<p>I agree with MzLover3... "intellectual curiosity" is perhaps not what these people are after?</p>
<p>I actually think they are looking for it, but only after these conditions are met: rich (or dirt poor), 4.0 UW, and AMAZING recs. SAT ranges depending on the opportunities you've had. It's very important for middle-class white kids because that's the largest chunk of every pool and is thus very competitive but not so much for everyone else and certainly not for the sons and daughters of famous CEOs. (some of who post on this board....and got in)</p>
<p>Who knows. I have a 4.0 UW and great scores and plenty of curiosity but the recs I sent in during the ED-era weren't as good as the ones I sent to my other colleges that accepted me. I haven't received official notification yet as I live in Oregon but I'm already bitter about my pre-rejection. I'm convinced that people who have had struggle truly get the short end of the stick -- the rich, privileged ones have the upper hand.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Harvard and Yale (EA)....but i got into PrincetoN! SO HAPPY</p>
<p>Yale was my first choice, but Princeton wasn't TOO far down on the list. ;)</p>
<p>Wow Ivyboy thats brilliant :)
so there's still hope for me?? That's nice :)</p>
<p>Also I have come to hate my SAT score...1600 go AWAY!!! GRRRR! :mad:</p>
<p>Rejected Harvard, Yale, Penn; waitlisted Columbia. I shouldn't have hope for Princeton, but I think I still do. When will I learn?</p>
<p>.sigh.</p>
<p>sucharita,
you shouldn't shun your flawlessness. It's something to be very proud of! There are many of us out here who could only hope for such a remarkable achievement!</p>
<p>yes.... princeton and stanford are my last hopes as well</p>
<p>semp you still have Stanford left...I was rejected there too! But the rejection email was mercifully direct...no bs unlike the other places...quite refreshing :)</p>
<p>No fedex sticker on my door though...hehe</p>
<p>Princeton is my last hope. If I don't get in I will go to Brown... open curriculum and a beautiful campus. I would be happy there I think?</p>
