<p>Still hope. I was waitlisted. <em>^▁^</em></p>
<p>Thanks 
I really hope so… <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>Well, it’s not yet as bad as 1/24, but it’s getting there…</p>
<p>@Juvenis: It’s a double-edged sword in terms of admissions as well. If you get good grades at a school like that they know you can handle hard work, but they’d also be impressed by you being able to do more w/less in terms of test scores and activities at a less academically rigorous school. Probably just comes down to who’s reading the application. That’s what mine might come down to anyway: MIT and Caltech both deferred me from EA and rejected me RA, so the Ivies could all go either way.</p>
<p>Totally new here, figured I’d join in on the discussion I’ve been following for so long I never used CC until I started applying for colleges this year; I think this site is going to be what I remember most about the experience haha. I’m also anxious for these coming two weeks! </p>
<p>To be honest, I’ve always looked at the Ivies as something I’d never even try applying for- not because of my grades/stats or anything like that, but because of how unreachable they seemed. And now…they still seem unreachable XD I don’t have high hopes, but who really knows what will happen? I am grateful I was even able to consider applying in the first place.
While applying to Yale, I don’t even know what happened- I completely fell in love with the place- which makes the Friday after next even more unbearable hah. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>@waiting17 Totally second your thoughts. Yale isn’t even the best for engineering (my preferred major), yet I have fallen in love with it over the last few months. Being deferred EA from here was a disappointment but it just gave me added impetus to go all out, not just for Yale, but for very college I applied too. Ivy day is going to be tough for me because I applied to all the Ivies, but I will look out for every decision with a blind faith of acceptance, hoping that they saw beyond just my grades and achievements and saw the interest and personality that I tried to demonstrate thorough my essays.</p>
<p>@himanshusahay I’m also applying to engineering; maybe it’ll help us get in :)</p>
<p>But realistically, Ivy day is going to be brutal.</p>
<p>
For me, ruthlessly brutal!!!</p>
<p>I also think it’s going to be brutal! That’s why I am not expecting much. Where else has everyone gotten into so far?</p>
<p>Stanford (REA), Yale (likely letter), Vanderbilt (Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship), local state school (full ride), Wellesley, Washington University in St. Louis</p>
<p>Duke (BN scholarship), Vandy, Cornell, Ohio State, ???</p>
<p>I got into Grinnell! The only other school I’ve heard back from so far is WashU, and I was waitlisted there.</p>
<p>Spring break is either going to be incredibly joyous or horrifyingly brutal. :/</p>
<p>Waitlisted at U of Chi. Likely from Cornell. </p>
<p>Ivy Day is next week. Oh. My. Glob.</p>
<p>Accepted at University of Toronto and Queen’s University. Wait listed at UChicago</p>
<p>@jushyosaha Don’t know if they segregate candidates by their major 
I did get deferred EA so my hopes aren’t very high. :P</p>
<p>anyone know hoe decisions will be released? Email? portal log in?</p>
<p>mar 28 5pm</p>
<p>will they come in an email or will we have to log into a portal? or some other way?</p>
<p>They’ll create a special decisions portal like they did for the EA decisions.</p>
<p>Everyone here is so accomplished! Anyone else here waiting for Northwestern this week (if the RD threads are anything to go by)?</p>
