I go to public school, and I'm from America... so I had an issue with that generalization.

Georgetown was my first choice and SFS is essentially the perfect academic program for me. After reading everyone else's stats and other things "on paper," I feel fortunate, once again, to have been admitted. </p>
<p>Reading this thread reminds me of the decisions thread on the Yale forum, except I am on the other (rejected) side of that one. Everyone always says that college admissions are incredibly arbitrary and unpredictable, but it never really hit home until now, when I am reading all sorts of stats with different combinations of acceptances, rejections, and waitlistings (is that a word?). </p>
<p>I am very happy to have gotten into SFS and appreciate the talents of those who were rejected. In all likelihood, some of you are the ones who got into Yale, Harvard, and Dartmouth, and all the other Ivies and highly ranked colleges, so obviously one school's decision shouldn't make a person feel horrible. </p>
<p>That's just where I am right now, wanted to share some thoughts.</p>
