<p>Spill here all rejectees (which will be over 90% of people who applied to Stanford)!!!! </p>
<p>Personally, I didn't expect to get in, and I was terribly disappointed they reused the SCEA rejection letter. (Write a new one Stanford if you want it to have an effect on people) </p>
<p>But still it's motivating me enough to work myself to the death in undergad. I will be back! </p>
<p>How about you guys, fellow rejectees?</p>
<p>Haha I’m with you here. I was sad a few hours ago, but my fellow rejectees and I are all planning to go to UCB now. This is my first CC post since seeing my decisions 3 hours ago.</p>
<p>I know I’m going to work hella hard for undergrad. And now I’m thinking maybe getting rejected by Stanford and the Ivies (where you lay back and rest and assume you’ll be smart) wasn’t such a bad thing after all.</p>
<p>I’ll enjoy Berkeley. ab2013, where are you headed towards?</p>
<p>Rejected from Stanford</p>
<p>still haven’t checked Brown yet.</p>
<p>/sigh wat a crappy week.</p>
<p>But they haven’t seen the last of me yet!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Funny. I actually posted my rejected post on the Brown RD Decisions thread BEFORE I checked my admissions decision. When I read the letter and realized that I was rejected, I was like, "YAY I’m a total psychic! </p>
<p>That’s very true. Most people I know who have headed to the Ivies are the most laidback (almost uncaring and impassionate) people I’ve ever met in my life. In fact, there’s this guy I know who got into Yale and was a USAMO qualifier for 2 years. He came back in our AP Physics class and bragged about how he skips all of his Math 300 lectures. Well … I’ll be spending my 4 years catching up and getting light years ahead of you Ivy admits by the time we apply for grad school. :D</p>
<p>I’m headed towards Michigan, unless I fight my waitlist at Chicago. But I probably won’t because Chicago doesn’t have an engineering school and with the economy so bad right now I might just drop my plans for Econ + Applied Math in favor of Aerospace Engineering + Business or + Applied Math (I love math and I want to do something with math in college …). And I know there are people who actually REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go to Chicago and I want them to have a shot of getting it. (Actually I do too but not all of my interests match what Chicago offers)</p>
<p>:( oh well Vanderbilt is letting me go for free so I’ll be okay</p>
<p>Screw Stanford. Duke, here I come!!!</p>
<p>You got into Duke? CONGRATS!!!</p>
<p>Stanford had a typo in their SCEA rejection letter LOLZ. Good thing I didn’t get in, I like not butchering English.</p>
<p>Yep, ab :)</p>
<p>Thank God, seriously. The Duke acceptance came out last Thursday (which, unfortunately, gave me false confidence about HYPS). I’m so glad I got in there, because it’s helping lessen the blow of my rejection frenzy today lol</p>
<p>Go golden bears!

Accepted: UT Austin, Boston University</p>
<p>I will be going to UT Austin unless admitted under wait list somewhere. What do you guys know about the acceptance on that?</p>
<p>it’s annoying still cuz I had good stats I thought…</p>
<p>^Back to my staircase theory…</p>
<p>i applied to stanford for free (questbridge) and my val who got into harvard, dartmouth and yale got rej from stanford so i wasnt really expecting anything lol.</p>
<p>Its okay im headed off to either Amherst or Pomona (still have to decide) =]</p>
<p>^ Amherst FTW. Just IMO :)</p>
<p>wasn’t really expecting to get in, but probably heading to Johns hopkins</p>
<p>rejected: caltech and stanford

accepted: usc, ucla, uc davis, uop</p>
<p>my whole life i’ve been obsessed with going to stanford so i thought i would be devastated. but the next email was accepted to WHARTON!!! my intense celebration that followed canceled out the entire previous feeling of devastation haha.</p>
<p>rejected: Williams
waitlisted: Amherst
accepted: UPenn:Wharton and Dartmouth</p>
<p>rejected:):) oh well, not like i could afford it anyways. but seriously, its just a crapshoot. i subscribe to the staircase theory, as i know i had the stats (rlly dont mean to be arrogant but trying to make myself feel better). congrats to everyone else’s acceptances. i have no idea where i am going (cannot afford rice and duke, and waitlisted at harvard.)</p>
<p>^OK they reject some people with good stats, but they also accept many people with stats less than yours. </p>
<p>College admissions really makes me wonder sometimes. That’s why I subscribed to the staircase theory for quite a while now.</p>
