<p>Anyway:</p>

<p>Rejected: Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, Northwestern</p>

<p>Waitlisted: U of Chicago (wooo!!! hahaa) </p>

<p>I am still waiting for columbia to send me the email with my password so that I can log in!!! </p>

<p>It is so weird though, I thought that I would feel WAY worse about having my dreams crushed. But already i am so incredibly excited for Mcgill next year. I have even started looking at ballet studios downtown! It just feels so good to finally know where I am headed. I can truly look forward to it now without wondering.</p>

<p>^^“It just feels so good to finally know where I am headed. I can truly look forward to it now without wondering.”: I totally agree.</p>

<p>@math: Man, your case is by far the most shocking, I think. I cannot say I know what you are going thru, but you had once told me that your math awards will get you scholarship to Waterloo. That is better than most of what we got, ain’t it? I hope you cheer up. Let’s look ahead. :)</p>

<p>Yeah I guess I’ll take the offer from Waterloo for now and work really hard on the three waitlists that I’m on. Congrats on the full-ride from Vandy!</p>

<p>@happysunnyshine</p>

<p>I’m a little disappointed at Yale deferral -> rejection but things worked out in the end.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got into their top picks, and I look forward to meeting fellow students of Penn '15.</p>

135

<p>Whoa a lot of Canadians at Penn</p>

136

<p>@habsalutely: I think my art portfolio played a big part because both these programs require portfolios. I attend a specialized art program in my school so i have built a pretty strong portfolio over the course of 4 years. Most of my activities relate to art and digital media, so this definitely showed the schools that I had a passion for these things. My SAT and academics are in range but my extracurriculars are comparatively weak (my saving grace was Yearbook). I really wasn’t sure if I was good enough for these schools at the beginning because my school is a normal Canadian public school and barely anyone takes their SATs. But I guess they saw something in me that they wanted :slight_smile: super happy </p>

<p>Carrot Dumplings: did you apply for Financial Aid? </p>

<p>It’s weird how I sent in my 2010 tax returns in February but on SFS (tab 6 task list) it still says I haven’t.</p>

138

<p>Yes, I did, and I have the same thing in my tab 6. It says the deadline is like in april or something but I sent it in ages ago. I might email them about it but I don’t think they want us to send it again. :/</p>

139

<p>Accepted: Duke Trinity, Carnegie Mellon CAS, NYU Stern, Virginia CAS
Waitlisted: Harvard, Vanderbilt
Rejected: Princeton, Yale, Penn, Cornell, Brown, Northwestern,Chicago, Columbia
