<p>So...I got into my safeties and while I like one of them especially...after getting deferred by UChicago and waitlisted by Wash U I have a feeling that I'm going to be rejected by every other school I applied to. Anyone else having this feeling?</p>
<p>I had a little bit of that feeling, but then I got significant merit scholarships at my low matches and I’m feeling much more confident.</p>
<p>I feel the EXACT same way. And I feel like I’m going to have to be unhappy with my safety schools. I don’t LOVE any of them. :/</p>
<p>I applied to one REAL safety school. I mean there were others that were mid ranged but I’m super worried now. :(</p>
<p>:( i hate that feeling.
april needs to come faster.
i got admitted to my back up school
but still waiting for johns Hopkins and brown.</p>
<p>i absolutely feel this way. i guess since my senior year has been a nightmare. i had a horrible midyear report and am losing control with my hectic schedule. so as a result i’m losing a ton of confidence. </p>
<p>I got into my safeties. all of my other schools were long shot reaches, and now i feel like even my match schools are pushing it. my advice would be to stay busy so you don’t have much time to dwell on it. and remember life will go on even if you don’t end up at college X. </p>
<p>but yes, the feeling is awful, just hang in there</p>
<p>First rejection letter…and now I’m havin this feeling.</p>
<p>got rejected by UNC Chapel Hill</p>
<p>I’m not surprised, as UNC was statistically the worst school for me to apply to. </p>
<p>Overall acceptance rate * percentage of out of staters * % of my gpa range</p>
<p>came out to like .002%…</p>
<p>I actually had a better chance at UPenn, but one can never rely on statistics when it comes to something as indiscriminant(and yet discriminant) as college admissions.</p>
<p>The state constitution mandating that it reserves 82% of available slots for instaters didnt help my case either.</p>
<p>Now I feel like I really don’t have a chance at places like Villanova, NYU, etc.</p>
<p>Guess I’ll have to go to my city college (not community, but public CUNY)</p>
<p>I sort of feel that way. When I first picked out my school, the two I thought would be the most difficult to get into for me personally, regardless of how overall selectivity compared with the others, were ones to which I have now been accepted. Now I feel like my luck just has to run out, that no one can get into every school to which s/he’s applied.</p>
<p>Also, my grandfather said, since I was a baby, that I would go to one of the two schools I have left, and I think it’s my mother’s first choice, and it might be the one that most supports the career path that my father desires for me. All of that pressure, all of that direction has to be leading up to a rejection.</p>
<p>That’s the feeling I had, until today. But I consoled myself with the thought that I had the options of a) going to community college or b) taking one more year of high school and graduate with my class instead of early.</p>
<p>I’m on the verge of doing this myself…</p>
<p>Yeah, since I got my first rejection I feel that way. Even though I like two of my backups, I can’t shake the feeling that it’d suck to have to go to them because my dream school thinks I suck :/</p>
<p>My nervousness grows by the day…</p>
<p>Rejected from Uchicago and Washington. Outright rejected. Yeah, its a pretty sucky feeling. Especially when you devote high school completely to all this and get nothing out of it. I’ve convinced myself I’m not getting in anywhere.</p>
<p>^ 
I’m so sorry. Try to stay optimistic.</p>
<p>^^I’m in the same situation Super (though I got waitlisted at Wash U…still, basically the same). It really sucks :(.</p>
<p>Hey Super join the club. Got rejected from U of Chicago too!</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah the feeling. I basically got all my safety acceptances (with pretty nice scholarships) a while ago. There won’t be any acceptance letters to buffer the parade of stinging rejections.</p>
<p>Got waitlisted for my first choice school. Plus another waitlist today. I’m starting to wish I didn’t apply to so many reaches… This week will be brutal.</p>
<p>Had that feeling when I got rejected from Oberlin, one of my matches that I felt I had the pretty good chance at. Then I got accepted by Haverford, so there is always hope.</p>
<p>Oh, and also a friend of my history teacher got rejected at Oberlin and accepted at Harvard back in the day. This should give you guys even more hope.</p>
<p>Ahhh I know!! This week is going to be depressing!! I also kind of wish I didn’t apply to so many reaches… O well</p>
<p>Feels good to find a depressing thread!</p>
<p>I got wait listed into my #1 school as well. What makes it even better, though, is that for the past 4 years or so they’ve accepted 0 of their wait list applicants. I did get into all of my safety schools but I kinda feel like they outright… suck. I don’t really want to go there or say that I’m going there.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who was wait listed.</p>
