<p>I sympathize with your D!
If I didn't get into NYU 2 weeks ago, I'd be devastated since my rejection from UCLA last Thursday!</p>
<p>I'm from the bay area, where the over-achieving asian population is overwhelmingly large. Which makes the rest of us look dumb.</p>
<p>I applied to 10 schools, and got accepted into 3 of them. Got rejected from: Syracuse, NYU, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, Occidental, USC.</p>
<p>You know what really sucks? I know like 5 people at my school that got into USC, and they aren't even considering it. They applied to USC as a back-up. We should have gotten accepted, the people who actually WANT to go to USC.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Completely agree.. USC is my #1st choice. I know ppl who got in and threw away the big envelopes.</p>
<p>^^Yeah. I agree with you on that. We need to find a new way of admissions because that is what is driving rates up: more people are applying and to a higher number of colleges too. People shouldnt apply to colleges that they wont consider. That being said....I shouldnt have applied to Santa Clara University.....</p>
<p>i definitely sympathize with you guys & i totally agree that applying to so many schools just drives down acceptance rates, but if even 50% of people who were accepted to USC actually matriculated, USC would just start accepting far less people...</p>
<p>i'll post my stats on the rejected thread. so depressing ><</p>
<p>Yay Bay ARea! Are you from SF or are you one of those across the bay kids?</p>
<p>Hey. REJECTED TODAY.. Want to die. I'm from the Bay Area too, and I know about 4 people from my school that got in, they don't want to go there either. I am really not feeling well, I think I'll buy some Ben and Jerry's.</p>
<p>I'm from the south bay.</p>
<p>Homestead High School</p>
<p>Didn't get anything today still. Weird.</p>
<p>Here's another rejection.</p>
<p>Really not in the mood to leave the house all week...</p>
<p>yup got rejected. after quite a long and agonizing wait too. this kinda sucks. oh well.</p>
<p>Rejected. Ah well, I got into UCLA and Cal, so w/e.</p>
<p>btw, anyone considering the appeal? do you think its worth it? my guess is that unless you've gotten a huge improvement in grades there just gonna say no, has anyone heard of the appeal actually being helpful?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Honestly? </p>
<p>With so many rejections this year I bet a lot of people will be appealing. I don't think it matters unless there was a huge mix up with you transcript/SAT or that you've just recently won the Nobel Prize</p>
<p>I'm doing one just for the hell of it...</p>
<p>I'm doing the appeal. And I'm also giving up sleep for a couple days to make sure it's really good. Hopefully, i'll be one of the few who actually get in. :(</p>
<p>At one point, I was thinking about doing the appeal, but then again the letter said if you had "compelling information". My grades remained steady mostly As and nothing really outstanding.</p>
<p>I plan to go to UCSD then transfer or go to USC as a graduate.</p>
<p>Is anybody who got rejected able to get into that reservations page?</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>If you can get in.. you're probably in</p>
