<p>bourne
all of us are desperate to know ur stats</p>
<p>do u guys think that p’pol transferring from a community coll is more favoured (or is at an advantage) than someone from a (very) low tier 4-years colls and unis.</p>
<p>Comm college people definitely is favoured over people who is not writin good</p>
<p>yes yes, people “is” writing good all right… ;)</p>
<p>Is “p’pol” really that much easier to type than “people”?</p>
<p>Chinqui. Do you guyz think #1 applicant from Gypsy college is more favored than someone from Kazakhstan? I thought I’z is Stanford 2011…</p>
<p>Easy, personally I don’t think so. Being from Gypsy college or Kazakhstan is too little information to compare two candidates.</p>
<p>Psh…whatever…i’m sending this in:</p>
<p>Dear Admissions Committee:
Having reviewed the many rejection letters I have received in the last few weeks, it is with great regret that I must inform you I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.
This year, after applying to a great many colleges and universities, I received an especially fine crop of rejection letters. Unfortunately, the number of rejections that I can accept is limited.
Each of my rejections was reviewed carefully and on an individual basis. Many factors were taken into account - the size of the institution, student-faculty ratio, location, reputation, costs and social atmosphere.
I am certain that most colleges I applied to are more than qualified to reject me. I am also sure that some mistakes were made in turning away some of these rejections. I can only hope they were few in number.
I am aware of the keen disappointment my decison may bring. Throughout my deliberations, I have kept in mind the time and effort it may have taken for you to reach your decision to reject me.
Keep in mind that at times it was necessary for me to reject even those letters of rejection that would normally have met my traditionally high standards.
I appreciate your having enough interest in me to reject my application. Let me take the opportunity to wish you well in what I am sure will be a successful academic year.
SEE YOU IN THE FALL!
Sincerely,
Trixee15</p>
<p>Rejected, but got in Yale.
Comm college and/or unprivileged kids are apparently favoured…</p>
<p>Well…I was both and I didn’t get in.</p>
<p>Are you on the East Coast?</p>
<p>ha ha you should definitely send that letter to them !</p>
<p>No. I’m from New Mexico.</p>
<p>CC student. transferring as a Junior @ 18. URM, first gen college, and first generation American. </p>
<p>:( Dunno what went wrong.</p>
<p>God, are you 18 years old ?!! Why don’t you take a year off and reapply next year?</p>
<p>Maybe…I don’t know. Like what will I do about recommendation letters and stuff if I’m not in school? And what will I do for a year? And will it be hard to get back into the groove of academics after taking a break? </p>
<p>I just feel kinda lost. I’ll wait until I hear back from the 3 other schools I applied to (Wesleyan, Northwestern, Northeastern) and go from there I guess.</p>
<p>so would the fact that i am 17 have affected their decision?</p>
<p>Get additional letters before this semester ends?
There are lots of things to do! You’re still 18, right? Trust me, it won’t be difficult to get back to normal life if you have a solid academic background. You’ve got to see the world :)</p>
<p>Good luck with your other apps!</p>
<p>That’s the funniest letter ever :). I totally agree with you trixee…also, every time I got rejected by email, the title was “If you have trouble viewing this email, try viewing it online”. Their FAQ is also hilarious:
Is there any way to appeal my admission decision?
No</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>hahahahh, you’re funny Trixee, even in this awful situation. Good luck with the rest of your choices!!</p>
<p>Well…life is short. This isn’t the end of the world. We’re all young and full of untapped potential. Congratulations to those that got in! I wish everyone the best of luck for their futures! </p>
<p>Now go out there and make this world a better place! lol</p>
<p>Trixee,</p>
<p>I sent that same email to Cornell when they rejected my ED app a year ago. I got the dry respons of “Sorry, we don’t have an appeals process.” Bleh.</p>
<p>Trixee15.. I think you should take a year off and reapply next year. Consider you are only 18, so as a rising junior you are essentially two years ahead of your peer group. I am not sure what your major is, but I would suggest during the year off you get into a research position relating to your intended major. Put everything into it, make good contacts, and by the end you will have rec’s that will be superior to anything you would most likely get from a professor.
One other thought is too see if you can apply as an incoming freshmen to some of those schools you are considering. Because you were homeschooled maybe you can use your last two years of CC courses as essentially as high school credits. Consider that many colleges now allow high school students to take college courses in a dual enrollment scheme. However, many colleges state that college credit is only granted after the student has either received a HS diploma or a GED. So it may be an opportunity if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>If you think that this may be an avenue for you, call your considered colleges and check. If any college says that you can, get them to send you a letter confirming it. </p>
<p>I offer this suggestion because I am a rising junior and not even 18 yet. I left high school after 2 years after my family moved and decided to try college instead. In my case I never completed high school or got a GED.</p>
<p>I applied to many of the same schools you have applied to. Northwestern for example told me that I should apply as a freshmen rather then a transfer (I would forfeit the 60 credit hours that I now have). H told me that I could apply either way. I elected to apply as a transfer this year, and we all know what happened. Too late to apply as a freshmen. Cornell, I got accepted as a transfer. U of Penn, waiting for decision. I think it looks good as they have called twice asking me to send in mid-term report after I told them that my college does not do mid term reports. I told them they could either wait for my final grades or drop my application. They said they would wait and that if my grades were solid I should look forward to good news. I finished my last final and this semester I have a 4.0. Overall, i have a 3.92 GPA. John Hopkins, Dartmouth, Tufts, still waiting on decisions. Rice, accepted. </p>
<p>At this point I am leaning towards Rice as it is an increditable college. Most beautiful of all the colleges above, by far the friendliest students, had the best interactions with professors when I visited, has a residential house system, exceptionally strong pre-professional advising, and many other points. </p>
<p>Anyway, I wish you well and perhaps my suggestions above may be of benefit.</p>
