<p>I just accepted mine. I hope this is worth it. I’ve been way more than patient.</p>
<p>I also hope so.</p>
<p>Well at least there’s a few of us. I don’t think anybody (except you guys) could possibly understand how I am feeling right now. I definitely want to talk to my counselor on Tuesday and possibly have my mom call admissions to try to get more info. I guess the only good news is that we all still have a chance. It’s going to be a long few months, though.</p>
<p>If I can get in, the next few months will be long, but VERY much worth it in the end. We’re perfectly qualified, but just unlucky. </3</p>
<p>I hope we can all get in. I think the waitlists are based on college. So our chances depend on which we applied to. I could be so wrong about that. I just really want more info and I hope I can get some and try to stay optimistic.</p>
<p>No, you’re right. It is based on college.</p>
<p>I wonder if they’ll give out the number waitlisted. I don’t want to be too hopeful if I don’t have much of a chance. This sucks.</p>
<p>This was last year’s statistic
For the entering class in 2011, 1,159 students were offered the wait list; 680 accepted the wait list, and 140 were moved in from the wait list.</p>
<p>Thanks. I think I saw that earlier. It’s not very comforting… I want to see if there’s any way to find out to which colleges those students were admitted, since they admit by college…couldn’t it be possible that all 140 were admitted to say, ACES? Also, I think our stats are probably pretty good for being waitlisted, since we know that others were admitted with much lower stats. Hopefully, if they turn to the waitlist, we will be a few of the ones that end up being admitted.</p>
<p>At least we’re not competing against each other. 3 different colleges, you, plzbefriend and I.
Very true. We are qualified, there’s no doubt about that.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s good. Can you imagine eventually getting in and thinking back to this day? I’m praying that that happens for all of us. It’s so hard to see past this, though…</p>
<p>I know. We just have to stay strong. I really wonder how many others were waitlisted and what their credentials are.</p>
<p>You’re right. I know we don’t really know each other, but I’m really glad to have found someone to talk to. This really sucks, though…having to tell my friends, family,classmates, teachers. I don’t know whether to just name my second choice college or even mention that I was waitlisted at U of I. I wish this didn’t happen. I don’t want to become too optimistic and be let down, but I can’t give up hope since I am so upset right now.</p>
<p>I feel the same way (: I KNOW! SO many people asked me, and it was heartbreaking telling people, and seeing all the facebook updates. It’s painful to be optimistic and pessimistic, so I don’t even know how to feel. Time will tell.</p>
<p>Right. I was definitely reluctant to tell people that I was deferred–at first. I think I became to optimistic and I regret it. So many random people know this about me, and I know some will have or will forget, but I don’t know if I want to tell people besides my really close friends that I was waitlisted. I think this is the worst day of my life.</p>
<p>One more thing I just thought about…at least we haven’t been denied. I would definitely be way more upset than I am now. I mean, there’s a waitlist for a reason. ;)</p>
<p>YES! Good attitude, this is inspiring (:
btw, avocado, check your private messages.</p>
<p>Guys, take it easy. You are in a much much better situation that I was when I was applying to college. That was Soviet Union at that time. We could apply only to one school (not many like here) and if rejected we (boys) had to go straight to the Army to serve two years as soldiers in places like Afghanistan.</p>
<p>You cannot imagine how crucial it was for us to get accepted. Otherwise the whole like would have gone different way. </p>
<p>And entrance exams were different, some of them were verbal tests when they (a commission of five -six professors sitting in front of you were asking you questions and you were to give correct answers right away). T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.</p>
<p>Ahh! Antsypants, I tried to reply but it says you can’t receive private messages!!</p>
<p>avocado- try again! (:
edsall-wow. i cannot even fathom how intense that probably was. you’re right, nothing bad has happened yet!</p>
