<p>Now that there's no columbia for me; someone who was considering harvard, mit, etc...</p>

<p>Eugene Lang is looking pretty damn appealing because i'm doubting I can get into NYU.</p>

<p>Way to make someone feel like they are a failure.</p>

<p>I don't care that much, columbia is a little too restrictive when it comes to individual major etc...
I'm going to apply to Gallatin and Brown's A.B. S.B. five year.</p>

<p>Eugene Lang is too safe of a safety but is it really that bad?
Why am i even letting my mind wander that far!</p>

<p>I won the brain bee dammit.</p>

<p>I know exactly how you feel.
I'm gonna do Brown and harvard regular, but I can't help but think: is it actually worth it?</p>

<p>hey...dont feel bad...5 minutes after getting a deferral to georgetown ( and then looking at my top 4 list of gtown, columbia, princeton and upenn) I said to myself
Screw college, i dont need it anyways...I ll go to cookingschool and become a chef!</p>

<p>Then I realized that I dont cook and that Im and international relations/economics major.</p>

<p>oops.</p>

<p>Check out the thread on the parents board about results after ED/EA referrals/rejections. There are people who were turned down by their EAs who ended up at Harvard. Each school is building a specific class, and what one school may have too m uch of, may just be what another school is looking for. So, sure, have your safeties and matches, but don't give up on you reaches.</p>

<p>Best wishes to you all.</p>

<p>"I said to myself
Screw college, i dont need it anyways..."
hahaha alita i felt the same.. but after recovering you put things into perspective.. and it's all worth it</p>

<p>Silver waves: I remember how much I enjoyed your essays. I'm really sad you didn't get in. Your energy and enthusiasm will be an asset to any school which gets you!!!</p>

<p>How about Sarah Lawrence College? It's 25 minutes away from NYC and is a good step up from Eugene Lang reputation wise but is also easier to get into than NYU.</p>
