[</em>]Teacher Recs: Didn’t read them, but written by two of the best teachers I had and the professor I did research with.

[li]Your thoughts on your decision: I’m still in shock. I saw the envelope and my first thought was that it was a mistake. I have no idea why they accepted me. I’m not outstanding or brilliant, especially not compared to half the people here who were rejected or waitlisted. Seriously, right now my friends are more excited then I am, jumping up and down and informing the entire school (including the nuns! :eek: ) of the acceptance, because I still can’t believe it.[/li][/ul]
Any other comments: I’m sorry to those who didn’t get accepted, but I know you will find another college that you will love and this time next year, you will be glad you are there. I wish everyone good luck in the coming months as we all must decide where we are going next fall.</p>

130

<p>Are any of those who got accepted without doing the interview people who didn't do the interview by choice?</p>

131

<p>Accepted</p>

<p>That's all I can really say. Accepted EA Harvard too, but I think this far far far outweighs it! Oh my gosh, I'm actually mildly happy, which I can say I haven't been for months and months...or maybe it's not happiness, maybe it's the ecstasy of pure delusion...that sounds more accurate.</p>

132

<p>ekkups, u from souther CA?</p>

133

<p>Anyone else get a favorable report from his/her/its interviewer and then not get in? That was the worst part for me . . . He said I had as good a chance as any applicant he had come across, building up my hope and confidence for its brutal destruction on the rocks of failure</p>

134

<p>Shanghaiwes:
I received my letter in the mail today (see above). I live eighty miles northwest of Los Angeles. Good luck tomorrow.</p>

135

<p>accepted, i really can't believe it. i was so expecting rejection after being deferred early admission and i thought my scores were too low (32 act 1400 sat, then 750 chem 740 2c 730 writing). but im so excited i dont know what to do. HELL YAHHH!!</p>
