<p>Dont worry Lakshmi... You will get in somewhere very good. :)
I have been rejected by Swarthmore too :)</p>
<p>now i just got a letter from Colgate and they rejected me... damn it... in the letter there was nothing concrete... not a word about me but just general words saying that they had many difficulties choosing among a very competitive pool... bla bla blaa... as much as i try not to be sad, that much i become sad.</p>
<p>the brandeis letter was of the same kind. since I haven't received my colgate/wesleyan/carleton letters so far and since they are out already....I could draw the conclusion. and since this leaves me with nothing more than reach schools....an enlarged conclusion can be drawn.
trying to deny it though.</p>
<p>cheer up ppl....... we are all great because of the fact that we have this courage to go outside of our countries to learn new things and study in our second lauguage. at least, for me, English is not my native language :)</p>
<p>btw, I got rejected from Oberlin and still has no reason why I got rejected. maybe FA and low SAT score(sigh). so disappointed but still hope for better results!</p>
<p>in the email I got from oberlin, they clearly stated that it was because of my financial need.</p>
<p>i hate general letters . . </p>
<p>wish they were hand written</p>
<p>lakshmi - i feel really bad for you. wish you had better decisions.</p>
<p>thanks. oh well, I'm the first one to wish that :)</p>
<p>but it doesn't really matter. I mean life isn't just abt going to college in the us. afterall maybe this is life's way of protecting me of a terrorist attack over the US in case I would have gone to study there :p</p>
<p>ok...so maybe that wasn't the best joke ever, sorry abt that...
life goes on, with or without any acceptances :)</p>
<p>its true. youre right. indeed, i was planning a suicide bombing 1 metre away from you.</p>
<p>sssshhhhhhhhhhhhh its secret. dont tell the FBI. hahaahahahahah</p>
<p>:D </p>
<p>kidding obv</p>
<p>my colgate withdrawal confimation had a handwritten personalized note at the bottom! i thought tht was really nice :)</p>
<p>aaron - neat. i had 3 / 4 letters handwritten from the asst. dean of admissions of swarthmore (i hadnt asked for them or stuff). . it made my heart race. i thought they had already accepted me n stuff!!</p>
<p>but oh well. </p>
<p>lakshmi - sorry , bad joke by me too :p</p>
<p>u got the god damn point... u r absolutely right... why r we supposed to go to a US for university, when our country or another one next to ours could b OK to? i am really starting to think not to go the University that has accepted me in the US... but this means going in an Albanian university... ouch... i forgot that the only reason that i applied at US Univeristies is that i hate Albanian Universities... i got confused i dont know what to do... heeeeeelp meeee!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>well...I kinda have the same problem with the Romanian univs...so I'll try not to lose hope until the very end. but otherwise, I'll just accept my faith. there's no other way out :)</p>
<p>yes, same here with the dutch universities!</p>
<p>and i haven't received any us acceptances either....</p>
<p>I find it to be VERY hard to stay positive nowadays!</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I don't know about you but what worked for me was expecting the worst (but hoping for the best of course;)) I got this Wesleyan rejection today, but I've been expecting it after a run-of-the-mill interview, so what happened? I told another rejectee "bye bye Wesleyan" and went and made a couple of sandwiches for a belated lunch...yum! And then I looked around and talked to you for a while, and I was like "I think something happened today...what is it again?"</p>
<p>well...um back again...now that i can see that i share the boat with a lot others( as much as i hate saying that!!)...i was however checking evry1z posts frm time to time after all CC is addictive!! but eventually... i figured this is the point of this whole forum....spread the sadness so i feel a lil less of it....ok tht was korny.....whatever!
and no....no good news yet!! i kinda found out about this local university tht i guess is kinda good for what i wanna study nowadats--architecture...and guess what? with my grades i can get a full scholarship there! thts a good thing......and i have like 4 more to go...secretly counting on REED now cuz the others are wild reaches!!
PS. luv y'all!!</p>
<p>Funny that so many people are still barehanded (me included) at this point when a lot of colleges have sent out decisions. So what's the problem? We're gonna do fine at our local college, apply to grad school and eventually get a Ph.D. from the US anyway (if you're still interested then).</p>
<p>yea well...thts my secret plan too.....</p>
<p>mine also, yet in 4 years many things can still happen ;)</p>
