<p>I just found out I got waitlisted at Vanderbilt. Right now im thinking, how am going to get into Cornell if I cant get into Vanderbilt. Should I be worrying. I did get into Carnegie mellon and UCLA, so right now Im feeling OK. Vanderbilt was like my last choice, but I still really want to get into Cornell.</p>
<p>Well, the state of being worried or not does not alter Cornell's decision...so don't worry. Just wait until Thursday to plot your next move.</p>
<p>each college is different. don't let one college's decision worry you about another college's decision.</p>
<p>besides, if you want to look at it that way, vandy didn't reject you, so they still technically accepted you (i know it's pushing it but still) and most importantly, CMU and UCLA, both highly selective schools (especially UCLA out of state), accepted you. chill haha</p>
<p>I was exactly like you when I was waitlisted by Wash U. I calmed down though after a couple of days. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You still haven't heard what Cornell has to say. And you did get into great schools, so you're still in good shape. As spyrey and dearkonstantine are saying, Cornell is different from Vanderbilt. Yeah, being waitlisted from Vanderbilt kind of lowers your confidence, but you'll be fine, no matter what. Just (try to) relax and keep it all in stride. Good luck!</p>
<p>tivesrx we are in the same boat.</p>
<p>yep same here...waitlisted vandy...AEM cornell??...lol its worth a shot</p>
<p>cas for me. long shot :(</p>
<p>haha i am in the same boat as you.. except cornell human ecology after being deferred early decision.. waitlisted at both washu and vandy, but likely from uva..</p>
<p>tiversx, how are you stats? maybe vandy waitlisted you because you are a strong applicant and won't go there anyway</p>
<p>i was waitlisted at georgetown and accepted to swarthmore. schools all differ. just b/c you were waitlisted at vanderbilt does not mean you should worry about cornell. just stay calm and see on thursday what happens.</p>
<p>anyone remember MrRomantic??? the vanderbilt fan!
wonder whether he got into Nandy??</p>
<p>ek1099 that made me feel a lot better :)</p>
<p>So.. we're the same person.
I got waitlisted at Vanderbilt.
I got accepted to Carnegie Mellon College of Science.
Now, I'm terrifed about Cornell...</p>
<p>Yea, i'm in the same boat as you guys.
I got waitlisted by WashU, and rejected by Georgetown.
Now I feel like I don't have much more of a chance at Cornell either....</p>
<p>Im pretty sure I was waitlisted at Vandy because of poor freshmen year grades. I have a 1540/1600 SAT and a big upward trend all through high school taking hard classes. I've heard that Cornell looks beyond just grades so maybe that will help since I have great ECs and Recs.</p>
<p>yea i got waited at old g town, but into davidson which is only slightly less hard to get into. these ivy bastards better look past numbers and freshman year grades.</p>
<p>To the brother who shares the same fate:
I got waitlisted at Vanderbilt, accepted at Boston College, UCLA, and Carnegie Mellon School of Science. I am too anxious for Cornell, but not as much as Harvard!</p>
<p>at least you people got waitlisted..
THEY REJECTED ME...:(
THE FOOLS...I HAVE BEEN CURSING THEM EVER SINCE :)</p>
<p>Yep, I got denied at Vandy....and Duke for that matter. I am not feeling good about cornell.</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Wash U
Rejected at GTown</p>
<p>Cornell???</p>
