<p>I think I am the first one to be rejected from a school. On Saturday I recieved an acceptance from Kent. I was happy but not as happy as I thought I was going to be, I sort of had a feeling. That was my second choice school. I knew today the accetances and rejections and waitlist were going to posted by Middlesex. I could not sleep and woke up at 1 AM. I have been reading all the acceptance stuff. When I decide to look at my decision from NMH....</p>

<p>Dear ------,</p>
<p>The Admission Committee has carefully and thoughtfully completed its review of your application to Northfield Mount Hermon School. I regret to inform you that the committee is unable to offer you a place at NMH.</p>
<p>Decisions such as these are difficult because we can offer admission to only a limited number of those who seek to enroll at Northfield Mount Hermon each year. As a result, we are obliged to turn away students like yourself, who nonetheless exhibit many admirable qualities and strengths.</p>
<p>I have no doubt that you have a promising future of achievement and personal accomplishment. On behalf of the committee, I wish you success and happiness as you pursue your academic plans.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Deborah J. Wright
Dean of Admission</p>
<p>I have no idea why but I just started to laugh really hard I woke my parents up! My parents thought I was doing drugs! I never wanted to go to this school, didn't really like it but....I learned something, if a school rejects you it's not that YOU are losing out, but THEY are losing out on you!
I just wanted to let everyone know about this especially to kids who are not offered admission. Always remember that and don't let anything keep you down!</p>

<p>i got waitliusted for NMH...but i dont get why u were laughing</p>
<p>Ughh
I got waitlisted as well...</p>
<p>Ummm....I thought I made it clear enough......in other words, I wasn't mad because I know Im a great student and that's good enough for me, a rejection letter does not have to prove otherwise, and all of you should feel that way.</p>
<p>Hmm actually,
I felt terrible.
I didnt get accepted to another school,
like you did.
And I still do feel terrible.
The only thing keeping me from like jumping out my window is that I still have schools to wait for.
What FRIGHTENS me is that NMH was my safety...</p>
<p>I was going to write a very long post about you guys not having to feel bad and encourage you....but lol, Im going to have to write it when I get back from school like at 6pm, it's almost 6am here! Do not worry!
GOOD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN!</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at brooks
i feel like a complete idiot.</p>
<p>i got waitlisted at andover...
<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>HOW ARE YOU GUYS FINDING THIS OUT!?! haha I can't check for SPS or Groton yet, which are my only online schools.</p>
<p>SPS is out apparently. Just now, I think. Go check Jonathan!!</p>
<p>Yes, SPS decision letters are available.....</p>
<p>"What FRIGHTENS me is that NMH was my safety..."</p>
<p>you shouldn't think that you're going to get automatic admission to your "safety school". NMH is a really good school and while it's no reflection on you it just says that you aren't what they want, 50% admitted means that 50% is rejected</p>
<p>yeah im accepted at SPS but that didn't come as a surprise...anxiously awaiting middlesex</p>
<p>Yes, of course I know that NMH is a great school
I'm sorry, I didn't phrase that correctly...</p>
<p>"I really really really really love NMH and I would love to attend the school, but I am freaking out right now because I need to get accepted, and I need something to blame" seems like a better reflection of my feelings.</p>
<p>=[</p>
<p>Im so jealous of people who got accepted.</p>
<p>...and you may feel bad when you hear NMH-accepted people say they don't like to go there..</p>
<p>How do you get to the SPS online info?</p>
<p>AHAHAH
HII CRICKETT!!!</p>
<p>and aww i would do anything to get in...
=[</p>
<p>Well not really but stilll....
T-T</p>
<p>how did you find out about Andover's decision???????
I thought that they mailed it out today!</p>
<p>I got rejected to NHM and Hill, and the funny part is I thought those schools were my saftey, lol.....................................................</p>
