If you do want to go to W & L yes go ahead.</p>
<p>But I do feel bad for your name selection. If the name is meant to reflect what you are currently feeling about yourself, please change it. It may seem that you are not achieving what you want at this time, but the fact that you want to get it means you have the fight left in you. You will succeed may be in ways that you do not realize at this time. When you look back in 20 years you may think, yes, I did succeed. So I hope, you will think positively and you will do better in college. Have fun, you will succeed.</p>
<p>We are in same situation with different schools. We are making sure everything is confirmed with the new school including payment and receipt of deposit, and then will notify the other school of our withdrawal. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>I picked the name when I was really down. I got rejected from 4 schools and waitlisted at 7 . I had not received a single acceptance so it was between community or a very late application to state school. I was he top of my class great stats great character great Rec etc but every colleges said “ha no” . To scythe least I was sad but then I got off the waitlist to w and l. And I couldn’t be happier w life. I wilmake sure I never disappoint w and l and make sure all those colleges regret the choice by seeing the great man I will become</p>
<p>Congratulations, failatlife (soon to be succeedatlife)!! I remember responding to one of your posts before. You really did not apply to any safety schools so don’t take the rejections personally. Of course you could have gotten into many, many schools. But it all worked out in the end, and I hope you will love W&L.</p>
<p>failatlife (agree with burry that it’s time to change that user name!), just think ahead ten or twenty years to when you have become so wildly successful in your career and life that you are invited to be the commencement speaker at one of the schools who wait listed/denied you ;)</p>
<p>If you are in W&L and are waiting to hear from a place higher on the ladder which you would prefer send in your deposit to W&L and wait to hear from the other school. W&L is very good though. </p>
<p>It is being reported that colleges are having heavy use of their Wait Lists to fill a class this year. W&L ususally fills about 20% of the class from Wait List. With all that is going on you may hear from your other schools as well, sooner than you might think. Sometimes Wait List accepts happen well into June</p>
<p>Thanks again everyone all this advice really helps. I appreciate it. I think I will stay at wash and lee. It’s a great college</p>
<p>@succeedinlife…:)</p>
<p>Glad that you are coming out of this temporary set back. As most people said in this thread, W & L is a great school and you will be successful in life. Things happen for a reason and we usually don’t see it that way as things are happening. Good Luck in college and life, believe in yourself, you will succeed.</p>
<p>Thanks again and I hope I have classmates like you guys. You Guys are amazing!</p>
