<p>I don't see how A2wolves's rant is hilarious. It's true. I understand him completely, and I highly doubt he dislikes Michigan. He's only saying what's on his mind, and I think he has a rite to do so. I remember his plight from last year. If you went through everything that he went though with Michigan, you wouldn't be happy either. Also, if another school welcomed you on its campus, took great care of you, and treated you with respect, I highly doubt your old alliances would last or, at least, stay as strong as they once were either.</p>
<p>Ok obviously we all went a little off track. Me getting annoyed by A2Wolves a little wasn't meant to spark this much discussion, haha. </p>
<p>Let's call it a truce eh? lol</p>
<p>reeses, since you bring it up...</p>
<p>I was deferred ED and rejected RD from my dream school. I didn't take the rejection personally. I didn't expect to be accepted just becaues my SAT score was above their median (which it was). Instead of incessantly sniping and crying about why I didn't get in, I'm working very hard to improve some of my weak spots. I'm certainly not bitter about it and I look at the rejection as an opportunity. I'm applying next semester for transfer admissions.</p>

No you're right. Michigan acted as the school that "took great care of me" (honors, scholarship, the works) and I'm obviously very thanksful for that. But it doesn't mean I have to be disrespectful to the other school. Or cry about it for the next six months. There really is a mature and an immature way to handle this situation.</p>
<p>umardarr: lol. We did leave the original subject line of this thread a long time ago. Oh well. Another example of a Michigan thread gone astray... ;)</p>
<p>hdavid6: I wasn't trying to aim my comments at you in particular. ("You" was a bad word choice on my part in my last post. I should have phrased the post differently.) I don't know your story, and even if I did, I wouldn't pounce on it. I was only displaying empathy for A2wolves. I understand how he feels, and I think he deserves our respect. I'm usually one of the biggest defenders of this university, and I will continue my role as such. However, I also think he should be able to rant if he wants.</p>
