Should I tell college that I was denied everywhere else?

Applying to College

<p>Hey guys, long time no post</p>

<p>I was waitlisted at Mount Holyoke and rejected pretty much everywhere else. I took the waitlist spot and everything, kept in touch with them. They emailed me yesterday saying I should pay a deposit somewhere else to have a secure spot in the fall, and if I still want to be on the waitlist, to let them know.</p>

<p>Now, of course I still want to be considered. I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to be like "I did not receive an acceptance anywhere, so there is no deposit to pay, so I'm eagerly waiting for waitlist decisions to be available".</p>

<p>Lots of gratitude coming your way for any help!</p>

<p>Did you get any acceptances?</p>

<p>Obviously, they emailed you that information to inform you that an offer is not likely to come from them. I would NOT tell them you’ve not been accepted elsewhere – that only would confirm the fact that they should also reject you (which they likely may to anyway). </p>

<p>What you now must do is look at your realistic options which I suspect do not include US colleges. Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>No I didn’t get any acceptances haha, I thought I said that.</p>

<p>And yeah, that’s what I thought. They emailed me because I emailed them first, restating my intention to attend (like they advised) , and they said they currently don’t have any updates. I’m not high on hopes, though, I’m already a med student over here</p>

<p>No, that’s not what you said, here is what you said:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>None and pretty much are not the same, you either did or didn’t get into other schools. So which is it?</p>

<p>I apologize, I didn’t reread. I was rejected everywhere besides Holyoke and Bates, but Bates doesn’t offer financial aid for waitlistees.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about your results. </p>

<p>Being a low income Intl applicants means you’re looking for pretty much full support, so that means these top schools you applied to have to really want you, which means you need to be an incredibly compelling candidate.</p>

<p>Hopefully you have options in Romania that you can attend as you look like a fine student.</p>

<p>Thank you! Yes, I’ll be a med student in fall, but would’ve loved to study in the States. But such is life. </p>

<p>Richmond told me that they’d take me if I could come up with the $200,000 by yesterday. So I’ve been playing the lottery. No such luck haha</p>

<p>I got in! Didn’t inform them of my rejections elsewheres, but I don;t know if that was a factor in my favor</p>

10

<p>Congratulations! That’s wonderful news. :smiley: Will you be attending?</p>

11

<p>Congratulations :D</p>

12

<p>Thank you! It definitely is! And, I hope I will, really, I’m waiting on my FA information. Very low income family, so fingers crossed for full need</p>

13

<p>Congrats! Hope FA comes through for you!</p>

14

<p>Thank you so much! I’ve never been this anxious to get mail! haha</p>

15

<p>Congrats and good luck!!!</p>

16

<p>Congrats and good luck on the FA, thanks for updating us!</p>

<p>Thank you! Also, got my FA today! Holy cow, $55000 and something in aid, my family only has to come up with $1850 a year, plus travel.</p>

<p>I’M SO GOING. </p>

<p>Sorry for bumping this, but I felt the need to share my happiness with all you wonderful people</p>
