<p>happyggal and stormia: bad day for the three of us. I got rejected by all the Ivys that sent out decisions today. I don't care about Yale but IT HURTS that I'm not going to Brown. Shouldn't have done so much research and developed such an affection for the school. I'm feeling worse than ever. Anyway, did you get in somewhere else? I really hope you did.</p>
<p>miaoling feeling better now >_<.</p>
<p>This morning the pain really got me, but I realised that results are important but attitude matters most. I tried to think in a positive way and miracle immediately came ^^. I found my treasure.</p>
<p>Still, I don't think my way to Brown will stop here. Maybe grad, maybe my kids will continue my passion ^^</p>
<p>i must admit...contrary to what others may think, i thought it was my "Best" rejection letter (and then i realize the irony of what i just said...)</p>
<p>miaoling-sigh. yea it was pretty bad.. also considering Brown was like my FIRST CHOICE DREAM SCHOOL. you know what i mean..lol.
but like everybody says, life moves on. On the same day all the ivys rejected me, I got accepted from Berkeley, so that made me lighten up a whole lot. right now, I'm thinking Berkeley, wellesley, or usc with some scholarship.. (leaning toward UCB right now though;)</p>
<p>hope you get over it soon, miaoling. rejections hurt,,, but there's always some "sweetness" awaiting us at the end of the tunnel. and remember no matter where we go, if we are prepared for it, and we are willing to try our best, we can succeed in life. let's make Brown regret its decision!!! lol. good luck with everything!!</p>
<p>Hopkins baby...well I wanted to go to Brown, I wrote like 5 essays for that whole PLME thing...they were good too. Oh well, wherever I go, I'll end up being a doctor.</p>
<p>I was just hoping to go to Brown for the whole "create you own concentration deal" and well meet some cool people and party ... but I guess I have to go to JHU and go to Georgetown for the parties lol</p>
<p>I was rejected from brown, it was my top choice, i visited and liked to soo much.</p>
<p>I was rejected too, and I really loved Brown. It hurts a lot, but it's amazing what a good night's sleep can do to soften the rejection blow. I still have some great college choices, so life goes on, obladi oblada. </p>
<p>Besides, there's always grad school!</p>
<p>Beatles! obladi oblada....man I love the beatles.</p>
<p>rejected....i'm not that surprised though. it was brutal this year.</p>
<p>"Beatles! obladi oblada....man I love the beatles."</p>
<p>The Beatles are my life. Or very nearly.</p>
<p>I don't know what I'd do in this college process without Beatles music to save me.</p>
<p>rejections hurt</p>
<p>A good night's sleep really helps:) Today I got home from school to find the Amherst acceptance letter:D YAHOO! Good thing we all get accepted to a fabulous school;) @everyone still in limbo or didn't get into your first choice: I've been turning over and over the fact that "It's not where you go to college but what you do there (or elsewhere) that matters." We really need that frame of mind; I know because I was feeling like *** yesterday and thinking about it really did me good. I also checked out the edu background of Amherst professors and found that lots of them went to comm colls or state schools. And they still shine;) Seems to me whatever bad happens to you, someone else fared worse and still managed to shrug it off to succeed later:)</p>
<p>hi all-
was like you guys last year at this time, and i too was rejected by brown, which was my first choice school. felt quite miserable about it for a week after all that hard work and such (13 years worth!), and tried to make sense of this randomness that is college admissions, but not to worry! you'll quickly get on board with whichever fine college you DO end up attending, and that one rejection will fade away. you'll start thinking about your real future, and all the worry and stress you've invested in college admissions will disappear, and everything that's blurry and unclear to you now will come into focus. currently attending berkeley as a freshman, and i haven't thought about brown since. don't sweat the small stuff; you'll move on and find success elsewhere! :D</p>
<p>A girl from my class does pretty much next to nothing (in terms of extracirricular activities) and got waitlisted. Seven other people from my class (including myself) got flat out rejected, but we do so much more and have numbers that match hers. Getting into an ivy league is a crapshoot.</p>
<p>miaoling,</p>
<p>Congrats on Amherst!</p>
<p>i was rejected as well... but my letter was different form yours. actually we had a 17 people from our school apply to brown and only 1 got in. last year 11 applied and 4 got in. guess they didn't like us as much this year</p>
<p>Thanks Dad:) I've just learned to "love what you have";)</p>
<p>Great job on the Amherst acceptance. I got into Brown, but Amherst flat out rejected me. I'm glad we both have a school to attend next year.</p>
<p>Yeah, shows just how random this admission business can be;) Just like you, I was totally thrilled that I'm going to college at all, not to mention a fabulous school such as this. Anyway I've developed this crazy Amherst spirit:) It prolly doesn't matter much whether you're at Brown or Amherst, it's the Open Curriculum anyway.</p>
<p>rejected. I loved Brown and I still do. Really touching rejection letters. woot brown.</p>
