<p>I wish I had applied Stanford EA instead of Yale EA; I would've been rejected there, too, but I realize now that I wanted it so much more than I wanted Yale.</p>
<p>I also wish I had applied to Duke (I wrote it off as a 'Southern' school right away), and some more of the UC's.</p>
<p>I've moved on, though (as I should, since I'm finishing up my first year of university!), and I'm more annoyed that I didn't /pick/ some of my other choices over where I am now. ;)</p>
<p>Pomona, UC Irvine, and Stanford (****s & giggles)</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna/Pomona/Pitzer, Columbia (this is an extreme reach for me, but it has been my dream school for 6 years now), Brown, UChicago, McGill, and Hong Kong University. I was actually toying with the idea of going back to Hong Kong for college. (I was born there, but immigrated to the US in 3rd grade.) Oh well. If I still want to later on, I can always transfer.</p>
<p>Well.. there's always that what if.. and I agree with some of the previous posters.. Am I good enough for HYMPS? Even if I got in.. the likelihood of going is quite slim.</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Cornell -_-</p>
<p>i would've gladly substituted those for my soon-to-be princeton rejection letter</p>
<p>columbia, duke, and/or cornell.</p>
<p>columbia, berkely, cmu, duke, wisconsin madison, illinois, Uk unis, cornell,
and not applyin EA at all :mad:</p>
<p>haha. ya long list... i only applied H,M and Upenn.... :p
so next 4 yrs confirmed in singapore</p>
<p>I regret not applying for the bioengineering program at UCSD. instead i opted for biochemistry...</p>
<p>I was going to go there either way, because of family matters and other issues and also the academic environment.</p>
<p>Princeton.....................:(</p>
<p>Brown,Northwestern,Georgetown</p>
<p>I applied ED1 to Wesleyan and am thrilled to be going there. However... I am a bit curious as to what may have happened if I'd applied to "more competitive" schools. I kinda wish I'd applied EA to Yale, and once rejected, ED2 to Wesleyan. Just to have some closure! :)</p>
<p>Caltech, I later found out I love technical places after being rejected by MIT.</p>
<p>Stanford-I should have given it a try.</p>
<p>Caltech. It sounds like they are the meritocracy I thought MIT was. I almost certainly would have been rejected, but you "miss 100% of the shots you don't etc etc."</p>
<p>Mostly, I just regret the way I presented my application. I really understated my strengths. More broadly, I wish I'd decided I wanted to go to college earlier, and done some decent application-padding activities. I also regret deciding not to request another interviewer when it turned out my MIT interviewer was hostile towards me from "hello."</p>
<p>Still, I'm in an Ivy with a great reputation for my major, I've got nothing to complain about.</p>
<p>My condolences to everyone who was rejected from their dream schools.</p>
<p>Duke and Upenn.<br>
It looks like most ppl, like myself, regret not applying to harder schools. I guess its that annoying little "What if???" factor thats bothering us now.</p>
<p>I regret not applying to the Ivies... =(</p>
<p>Cornell, Brown, UPenn, and Dartmouth</p>
<p>I think I would have had a chance at these relatively less selective Ivies. Instead, I have to agonize over a Princeton waitlist and I have no idea how it will turn out.</p>
<p>Penn, Johns Hopkins and Northwestern</p>
<p>Princeton, because it is a great engineering school that focuses more on the theoretical. Maybe some US service academies their engineering is nice too.</p>
<p>Williams</p>
<p>I blew it off during my college search because I was looking for colleges to knock off the list and the 40% varsity athletes thing kinda turned me off. But now I wish I took a closer look.</p>
<p>middlebury- i travelled 3 hours by train for the interview, had a wonderful interview, got an excellent feedback from the admission officer i was in contact with....</p>
<p>and then..</p>
<p>just felt lazy, left it for the end, and then didnt feel like writing the essay...</p>
<p>oh well, doesnt matter now.,</p>
