Screw college acceptance, where have you been REJECTED?

[Barfly]

mehh I applied to U of idaho, BSU, U of Wyoming, and Col. school of Mines and was accepted to all, but I went to U of I, becuase it is the best eduction/price. I say go to whatever school has the best cost/price for you, unless your parents are filthy stinking rich.

got 1600's on the SAT

Doesn't that mean perfect? I'm looking forward to my shot at Penn state altoona....We'll see after I send in my admission info.

Accepted:

Redlands University

Waiting to hear from U of Washington

Yep, it's that time of year. High school seniors, which colleges would you like to watch burn to the ground, starting with the admissions office?

I'll get the ball rolling.

Schools that actually realized I was a slacker for four years:
Penn State
Virginia Tech
James Madison University ("waitlisted," but I can only assume...)

This, on top of of about three other low points in my life, easily seals the past week as the worst of my life. I doubt anybody wants to read a complex multistage e/n, so we'll just worry about the college jazz for now. Please, wallow in your sorrows with me.

edit: Oh yeah, I'm waiting to hear back from Notre Dame, too. Applied there because my dad went there, and it's an awesome school, not because I had any realistic hopes of actually being accepted. Woo hoo, one more rejection to look forward to!!

UPDATE: Officially rejected from Notre Dame now, too. w00t

ha ha penn state begged me to apply after i expressed an interest in engineering but i went to the Air Force b/c i cant see going $50,000 in the hole for a peice of paper that i can get paid to earn in the AF. plus with the AF i'll put in 20 years, retire with a nice pension, and then work at wal-mart just to keep from being bored.

Erm, no concern for things such as location, "diversity", climate, entertainment?

was the university of Texas? if it was just thank yourself you were . only two things come out of austin............anyways

i only applied to Texas A&M cause thats were i wanted to be. I was guaranteed acceptance because of the old top ten percent rule in Texas

Hahaha yeah I only applied to TAMU too and got accepted back in like September not because of the top ten percent (71/244) but because of the academic admit rule. If you're in state and in the top half and receieve a 1300+ SAT or 30+ ACT you're automatically accepted. Took 3 tries but I ended up with a 1340 and a letter of acceptence into the school of engineering

I only applied to one university, so I guess I got 0 rejections. I went to my local one that's relatively cheap and easy to get into, and I graduated debt free. That to me is much more important than supposed "prestige." The experience is what you make of it, more so than where you go.

exactly the same as me.........and i finally got a job......so i think i came out ahead.
