<p>:( I’m staying on wait list.</p>
<p>Anyways got governmental scholarship for University of Iowa. Biology - Neurobiology track
Should I enroll?
People say it’s a great school. Ranked #72 nation wide #199 world wide but like SAT and GPA range is really low. </p>
<p>Probably cause it’s public.</p>
<p>Definitely enrol! You can always transfer to MHC later :)</p>
<p>I mean yea but it’s a really large state school what if I don’t have high GPA there or something. For my whole life I’ve been #1 in class and probs at school and I don’t think I will handle with large classes and 10,000 people enrolling with huge programs and a big city.</p>
<p>But I have to. 
for MHC I have to</p>
<p>Like madie said, enroll. You may find that your in love with the school and it was the right decision. Things happen for a reason or have a funny way of working out. You may be thinking that is easy for me to say, but during my high school years I have been to hell and back. If I didn’t go through all of that, I wouldn’t be were I am today. If I could do it all over again I would since I would not be the person I am today.
Everything will work out in the end, it just may take years to figure it out.</p>
<p>Seconding what Sportskid says, I’m 22. I have struggled with depression, self-harm and a difficult family situation for most of my secondary school life. I would not change these things because they’ve made me who I am, sure it’s taken me a bit longer to be emotionally ready for school/life. But I’m proud of myself to have gotten this far and I am gonna work to get there whatever happens 
Be proud of your acceptance, you deserve it!</p>
<p>Thanks both of you.
Mattie I didn’t know you should be so proud of yourself!</p>
<p>Blue, I find it quite hard to talk about. I didn’t mention it at all in my application, I wish I had, it explains my not exceptional grades in high school =/ Is anyone else feeling that we’re just waiting for the ‘we have closed the wait list’ email? Has anyone contacted admissions recently (the last couple of weeks)?</p>
<p>Mattie Any struggle like that is hard to talk about. Like you said, it has made you who you are today.
If anyone hasn’t said anything about getting of the wait list, they may just have one or two spots left or they may even be be full. After a college closes a waitlist, some will keep a few on because of the summer melt; students getting off the list at another school or deciding to take a year off, etc.
I got off the list a few weeks ago but no one else has heard anything, at least on here. So if they have not closed the list yet, they are getting close. At least that’s what it seems to me.</p>
<p>Update guys. I emailed Darcy, to quote </p>
<p>"Dear Mattie,</p>
<p>At this time, it is looking highly unlikely that we will make further moves to the wait list. You will receive an official notification within the coming weeks. I want to thank you for the time and effort you put into this process, as I know it was a challenging one. You have my very best wishes for future success in all your endeavors.</p>
<p>Warmly,
Darcy"</p>
<p>So there we go :/</p>
<p>So, assuming we all got the waitlist closed email. What’s everyone’s plan for next year (those of us that didn’t get in)? I’m applying again, so roll on August and the new common application</p>
<p>We all got it, yeah :(</p>
<p>I am not sure though whether Mount Holyoke will allow us to re apply as first years again if we enroll somewhere else. But I will surely transfer.</p>
<p>It is strange. I’m waitlisted but never got any mails from MHC.
And is it highly likely to get acceptence from colleges after taking one year off after high school? I want to apply again this year, but I’m not sure if I can make it.</p>
<p>I can’t say for definite but I was wait listed and finished HS in 2009. I don’t think one year will be a big problem, just do something with your year :)</p>
<p>MattieR91 Thank you for kind reply. Then are you not currently in college? Have you been any before? I’m just curious…</p>
<p>No problem, it’s kind of a long story. I thought I wanted to be a midwife so I applied, got rejected, applied again, got in, went there, hated it and left realised the US is the place for me, applied mostly got rejected and am applying again next year add in some major battles with depression and you have the slightly rocky road I took to get where I am now haha</p>
