The Acceptance/Rejection waiting for Ivy decisions thread

<p>Yesterday D got Accepted by Amherst and Waitlisted by Wesleyan and I thought of a little fun we could have with this while sharing our happiness/misery/hope with each other while we wait for March 31. I will start here</p>

<p>Amherst: Accepted
Wesleyan: Waitlisted
RPI: Recruited!
Providence College: Pleased!</p>

<p>Predictions for the future:
Conn College: Congratulations?!
Dartmouth: Denied?!
Brown: Busted?!
Harvard: Happiness?!</p>

<p>Now I expect you all to be more creative than me as you are all smart, creative, Ivy League wannabes!</p>

<p>So far, for my son:</p>

<p>U Chicago: Cherished
U cal - Berkeley: Blessed</p>

<p>March 31:</p>

<p>Harvard: Horrified
Yale: Yanked
Princeton: Petrified
Columbia: Crushed
Wharton: Whacked</p>

<p>(we are bracing ourselves for March 31 Massacre… You know, Star Trek series are my favorite SF shows. Every time they are expecting a hit by an enemy photon torpedo, the captain yells: “Brace for impact!!!” Yet, they all fall down with sparks flying all over the place. They should ALWAYS wear a seat belt… So, we are buckling out “mental seat belt” … kinda… </p>

<p>Well, it’s good to have some humor while we wait).</p>

<p>As John Forbes Nash once said,</p>

<p>“Terrified. Mortified. Petrified. Stupefied… by you.”</p>

<p>“you” being the universities :P</p>

<p>I hope none of you applied to Xavier! :)</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton: Selected. (You’re the 1 we want! lol)
NYU: Notified by likely letter.</p>

<p>Predictions for the future:</p>

<p>Harvard: “HAHAHAHAHAHA”
Yale: “Yeah, why did you actually bother, again?”
Cornell: “Congratulat - Oh…what’s his SSN? Oh whoops. This letter isn’t meant for you.”
Dartmouth: “Don’t tell your kids to try here either.”
UPenn: “Unless this was a joke…”</p>

<p>Oh, wait, are we going for one word only? Shucks.</p>

<p>@gadad: Things look good on the Trabant acquiring front. <em>winks, and puts fingers to lips</em></p>

<p>Tulane: welcome!
Stanford: rejected 4 times by e-mail…
Vanderbilt: YAY!!</p>

<p>Harvard: ummm… hope you have some other options, cuz this is NOT one!
Yale: ya we had you in the admit pile, then saw someone 100x better than you. sorry!
Brown: hahahahhaha. oh. wait. you were serious?</p>

<p>LOL this thread’s pretty awesome</p>

<p>are any of you geneseo accepts actually going to fall back on geneseo if 31st slaughters us all? cuz i got in too and idk if that’s better than villanova, what d’ya guys think?</p>

<p>I was accepted to other target schools that I will choose from (actually, I’ve pretty much decided on Vanderbilt) if I am slaughtered on the 31st. However, Geneseo is a wonderful school…if I’d been rejected from everywhere else, I know I would have been very happy there. :)</p>

<p>yeah i’m thinking money wise it’s great… although i’d def go to vandy if i get accepted i’ll join you i hear they’re really good with money this year. have you heard anything about villanova?</p>

<p>I think that Vandy decisions were just sent out…good luck! I haven’t heard much about Villanova, but I’m sure their website has financial aid info.</p>

<p>ah but i’m getting worried since a bunch of ppl received their packets today, ppl in our area =(</p>

<p>haha i meant just if it’s a good school -wise, thanks tho</p>
