<p>well i got waitlisted, but my stats are on the "official" thread.
i'm not taking my place on the list. are any of you?
looks like i'm going to U Chicago next year!!!</p>

<p>i'm not sure...i might end up going to ucsd for financial reasons. it seems like i'd have to wait for a long time before i find out a decision...and if they don't let me then i'll be college-less because i have to accept a college on may 1st.</p>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<p>Why I think I was accepted/rejected/waitlisted: Cause I have a ton of Cs on my report cards (all math but at my school, you only need a c to stay in the top track for math), have a horrendous downward trend (yay for a 4.4, 4.3, 3.7--my midyear was a 4.1), my essays are horrible, and I'm pretty surprised to be even waitlisted cause I got waitlisted at all my schools, practically, and this was one of my best ones.</p>
