<p>Bumping this mainly because I felt pretty bad after almemom came down really hard on me after I posted on this thread earlier that many rejections were mailed out Sat. My information came from an excellent source who knew a USC admissions officer. Looks like my source was right on. Thanks for everything almemom. Although most of your intentions are really great, you definitely were too quick to condemn me on this.</p>
<p>Hey everyone - on a happier note, someone from my school received a spring acceptance today (S. CA). There’s still some hope out there but we have to face reality in case it’s not good news AND remember, when one door closes, another opens and we will all be fine. I’m still hopeful but have some other great schools who accepted me. Good luck everyone and FIGHT ON no matter what decision you receive from USC.</p>
<p>kjoyful…while I understand your embarrassment, I think it is unkind to come down on alamemom. She is the most helpful person on this board and the voice a reason at all times. I think you completely misunderstood her. </p>
<p>Please don’t call people out like that, it is not at all necessary and really makes you look quite bitter. I am certain you are a better person than that.</p>
<p>Good luck to you tornados. Wishing you lots of success and happiness in whatever college you attend. </p>
<p>I’m not bitter at all. I didn’t call anyone out. </p>
<p>My posts have always been thoughtful and respectful. I don’t know almemom but she was the one who wrote the post to me yesterday. Please reread the posts. I apologized for anything I wrote which may have offended her and was hoping maybe she would have something to say to me today. </p>
<p>I was pretty upset yesterday after she posted because I have a pretty tender heart. I have received many private messages of support from people who totally understood where I was coming from and were shocked that almemom was so critical. Maybe people are sending private messages because they don’t want her to be critical of them too. </p>
<p>No bitterness here and I applaud her for all the great things she does and the support she shows everyone. I do want to thank Georgia Girl who has been unbelievably supportive to me during this time. Love you Georgia!!</p>
<p>kjoyful…I apologize. I was just being defensive for alamemom and really spoke out of turn.</p>
<p>I am sorry, my bad.</p>
<p>Hey Tornados, you’re a great guy! I’ve read so many of your posts and know you’ll do great wherever you go. You are very loved here and I’m sure by everyone who crosses your path. Thanks so much for posting and I feel so much better!</p>
<p>And I totally respect alamemom for everything she does to support all the people here. She has a great heart and I know if she was a USC admissions officer - everyone here would have been accepted! Keep up the good work alumni moms! My feelings were just a little hurt. Good luck everyone!</p>
