<p>yeah...rejected by swarthmore also!!!!!! now I have 2 rejections and a waitlisting...how conforting! I so hate my life! Where did I do wrong????? :(</p>
<p>izzy j im soo sorry fr ya...i don no whats happening this year good candidates r gettin flat rejections...did u get accepted anywhere yet?
btw i havn got my swarthmore decision yet...lets send them hate mail..hoos wit me?</p>
<p>whats their adcoms e-mail id???
since i didn't even apply there...it won't hurt if i send them a few NASTY mails...i'm serious btw</p>
<p>well ppll.. i think this is the worst time of yr we will ever face.. we WILL get rejections not coz we werent gud enough but probably coz we just got rejected..and yes ppl do get rejected coz of silly reasons one may never know..
one rejection is by far no predictor of another decisions and well to say that wud be by far the perfect example of unhealthy exaggeration,... stay calm for the week and i am more than sure that all of you will rejoice your wait and patience.. after all as said</p>
<p>ONLY1 MATTERS..
and that one cud be the one in the end .. be cool... though hard to stay yes.. and dont undermine or go in depression with the rejections or waitlists...College admission is gamble by sum big time means and will continuue to be so ..and when u gamble u just expect and knw nothing..</p>
<p>Swarthmore decisions are a bit shocking coz i find all rejections.. seems like they taking the wustl way by increasiong yield or sumthing artificially and rejecting overqualified ppl.. pretty possible..</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>hmm...sm ur right
But i still say screw their adcoms with hate mails!!!!!</p>
<p>ok...one more rejection from brandeis...yay!
statistics: 3 rejections and 1 waitlisting...how could I not be optimistic at the moment? My life is a total mess right now...</p>
<p>umm........ Hold on lakshmi.. the rope is thin .. and getting thinner.. but u will make it with the thinnnest also.. how come they all got to knw u r going to brown..??</p>
<p>jokes apart.. Best of Luck guys.. and gals.. i am too waiting for my decisions . man this is getting worse than thought... </p>
<p>seems like this yr sat scores have further stooped down as a sumwhat important factor of admissions..</p>
<p>SM</p>
<p>Dangit... What is WRONG with my application? Why have I gotten SEVEN rejections? Why are they so biased against Internationals seeking aid?</p>
<p>And how did you come to know about Brandeis, Lakshmi? Sorry to hear the bad news, but keep your chin high. Something will come through, don't worry. <em>offers hug</em></p>
<p><em>accepts hug</em> <em>offers hug</em></p>
<p>guys serious question.</p>
<p>its quite clear that a lot of intels are getting rejected this year. But, objectively and frankly speaking, is the number this year more than what it has been in the past few years on an average ?</p>
<p>if it is then what is the reason ?</p>
<p>answer objectively . . because i know that everyone (most of all me) have shrouded their judgement of this admission thingy with feelings of resentment, disappointment, anger etc etc.</p>
<p><em>Offering hug to every other rejectees out there</em> I never realized how much a rejection sucks until it came banging on me. Now I'm feeling so sympathetic for my pal who pulled an all nighter last Fri for a lousy Wellesley rejection.</p>
<p>I'm so sick and tired... WHAT'VE I WASTED THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE FOR?</p>
<p><em>excuse me for the wailing</em></p>
<p>chill guys...please calm down</p>
<p>this has been one of the worst days in the int'l forum!!!</p>
<p>Rishabh, methinks the applicant pool is much deeper this year, and the colleges still have an about-constant number of seats to fill...</p>
<p>What a year to apply</p>
<p>yeah...howcome many of u didn't apply ED? tht would have bolsered ur chances...and i assume u guys had clear #1 choices by then?
(oooo....the 1000th post draws closer)</p>
<p>i didnt do ED because i didnt have enough time to finish my apps and send it . . i didnt wanna rush things, had a lotta other things on hand . .like terminal exams (had to keep the grades up) and the sat's too.</p>
<p>I <em>did</em> do ED.. Princeton deferred me..</p>
<p>Rishabh - yeah, what jeanatkin said. A bigger/deeper applicant pool for domestics and internationals, probably due to the ease of the Common Application and wider publicity of the college/university and a constant class size, more of less... And if a school's yield was bigger than expected last year, this would make this year's class even smaller.</p>
<p>I didn't do ED because 1) had no clear favorite, 2) I tend to procrastinate and 3) wanted to compare financial packets and schools that tend to be very nice to internationals during the ED round are all out of my league.</p>
<p>jeanatkin . . im telling you. princeton is gonna take you.</p>
<p>princeton is a cool uni.</p>
<p>Hey, Lakshmi...same situation here..(even worse i can say)...5 rejections...1 waitlisting (which, in other words, is still called rejection...:() i'm now waiting for the decisions of the other 8 colleges I applied to....</p>
<p>thanks for the hugs and <em>gives hugs back(lots of them)</em></p>
<p>I received a letter from Brandeis today. mom just sent me an sms saying "small envelope from Brandeis"...got that. I called her and she read it to me...plain and simple...we were unable to offer you admission...oh well... life really sucks. and yes, I think today has been one of the worst days in this forum.
I so wish your joke would become true SM, but at the moment I really doubt it. I've really come to wish to not get any mail at all.</p>
