<p>I’m staying at my grandma’s house this weekend, so I found out that Vassar mailed the decisions through a conversation with a friend (“I heard that [Girl] got into Vassar.. did you hear anything?”). So, on my way to a party, my friend drove past my house and we looked in our mailbox aaaand… thick envelope! Whee!</p>
<p>(An hour later though, my friend checked her email and got rejected from one of her top schools… that was really terrible timing.)</p>
<p>Congrats everyone 
You really have nice sats :p</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten a letter yet, even though my friend has already gotten hers (she was waitlisted), So i’m thinking thats a rejection! Ooh well, I have already decided where I wanted to go, so I don’t suppose thats too bad, right? Lol, congrats to everyone else!</p>
<p>Rejected! I’m not bothered enough by this to post my stats, but I was well-qualified. I’ve been accepted at similarly competitive schools, so this kind of threw me. But I wasn’t killed by it. :)</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone hearing good news!!</p>

General Comments/Congratulations/etc: I wasn’t really motivated to go to Vassar, so this rejection made my decision that much easier- Skidmore, here I come! But a huge congrats to all those who got in!</p>
<p>marina_b, perfect SAT scores and you didn’t think you would be accepted anywhere?! Don’t be silly! And congrats on your acceptance.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everybody else who has been accepted too!</p>
<p>Hey… REJECTED.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s cos I didn’t show the least bit of interest - I didn’t even know about “Your space” till I sent my application. If I had known, I would have perhaps been accepted… loads to show them…</p>
<p>Wouldn’t have gone there anyway, now that I am in NYU.</p>
<p>Congrats to all!</p>
