<p>@azazel don’t stress. It’s no predictor of other acceptances, so you shouldn’t worry about it. Seriously - I’m absolutely positive that you will find another school that you will love and be happy to spend four years at. And hey, if the chocolate is too tempting, just take all the chocolate in your house and ship it to me ; )</p>
<p>@azazel 25?? srsly? ur the 1st 1 i know of whos applied to more universities than me!! congrats lolz</p>
<p>To all those rejected/waitlisted.
When I got rejected from the first school I heard back from (KAIST), I cried a bit, played basketball, and did homework.
Life moves on.
I’m confident that come August, we will all be at great schools.</p>
<p>Emotional pain lasts 12 minutes; anything after that is self-inflicted</p>
<p>^Exactly, life goes on.</p>
<p>@Carbs2: Thank you for those kind words
Oh and my hands are off the chocolate now. Don’t need to add guilt on top of the pile of emotions! Haha! :P</p>
<p>@JRswish: I’m an international student. For me, there can never be too many universities
I’ve applied to unis in USA, Canada, Qatar, Singapore and Pakistan (home country). My family is also pressing me to consider Australia :D</p>
<p>Wow…props to you for branching out that much! I’m worried about just going 8 hours from home, let alone another country. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>My D was waitlisted. Looks like the popular crowd here on CC</p>
<p>As a parent, I believe that every student will eventually find their “home” and can make whichever school they attend be their “dream” school.</p>
<p>I was truly impressed by the dorms at Wash U and the facilities, but have to admit that while visiting with D over the summer at a prospective students day; the admin put a table of really stale cookies. Perhaps one of the admin staff saw my displeasure at the cookie selection and it adversely affected my D chances.</p>
<p>Yup, I am going with the cookie conspiracy</p>
<p>@azazel oh i applied to 22 in US only. im intl too (india) but all my friends have around 8-10 universities.</p>
<p>Question for other admitted students. Did everyone get a travel voucher thing? </p>
<p>(it’s under Decision Notification, then click Next Steps, then click Plan Your Campus Visit, then click I want to visit during Spring Preview)</p>
<p>^unicameral2013
Yes, travel voucher here. It looks like all the Spring Preview days offer the same agenda. Did anyone see any different agendas?</p>
<p>@Darthdad
Haha! Yep, that was probably it!</p>
<p>@AHerpDerp - I was accepted into the Summer Scholar in Biology and Biological Research too! Hope to see you there!!</p>
<p>OMG whyy is it so hard to get in?</p>
<p>Add me to the waitlist G-Unit. 2310 SAT, international who applied for financial aid. </p>
<p>We’ll make it brahs.</p>
<p>As a waitlistee, it’s not that I got waitlisted in itself, but it’s the annoyance of wondering why a waitlist. Why not a straight up rejection or a straight up acceptance. It’s like the middle ground that leaves you wondering… why? Really adds to the anxiety of all my other RD apps.</p>
<p>I agree 100% that the waitlist is ridiculous. They know full well that there will never ever be space for the 10,000 waitlisted students in the class.</p>
<p>The waitlist status should not be causing anyone any anxiety. You aren’t going to get in. It’s a polite rejection.</p>
<p>Waitlist status at any university should be treated as a rejection. Wash U is no exception in this regard.</p>
<p>that doesn’t make sense to me. since it’s a known fact that a ton of kids who get into washu won’t be attending, isn’t it logical to assume that you have a pretty good chance of getting in if you’re on the waitlist?</p>
<p>No, that is already factored into how many they admit. That’s why they admit 3 times as many as they spots for or whatever. I read that Vassar had over a 1000 on the waitlist one year and literally did not take a single one.</p>
