i hate colleges.

[wjr]

i got into 3 safety schools, *and* tufts.

my first choice was olin college of engineering, thats out the window. now my top 2 choices are cooper union and caltech, both of which waitlisted me.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I applied to one school, just one. Stupidest decision of my life.

Did you not have a college counselor? I'd kinda like to hear the rest of this sad story.

Yeah, but what'd he do after that? And did nobody tell him to apply to more then one?

Got rejected from all of my reach schools (UPenn, Navy, BC) and got waitlisted at Villanova and U of Rochester. I got into my competitve schools (Holy Cross, Fordham, Duqeusne) and I got into only one of my safe schools lol, Miami Ohio. I actually got rejected from one of my safe schools, Gettysburg.

I got into my safeties, waitlisted at bc rejected from tufts and rejected from BU? but I got into univ of rochester and have been here cloase to 2 years. Don't really know what bu was thinking. Syracuse decided to place me not in their main college but into their social services college and i was like just um no thanks.

my school has a "wall of shame" and "rack of slack", a wall for rejection letters and a wall for failing or sub-par grades, respectively. the wall of shame always has a ton of letters from places like MIT, harvard, yale, etc. I actually considered applying to a local state college, putting together the worst application i could, just so i could put the rejection letter up on the wall.

I got rejected by my first choice and ended up going to similar liberal arts university just down the road from the one I got rejected by. 2 years later and I'm still here and loving it. Turns out the school I got rejected by is infested with liberal hippies, lesbians, drug addicts, and stuck up rich kids. If I had got accepted I would have gone there and it would have been one of the worst decisions of my life.

Sometimes you have to look past the academic standings and reputations of the colleges you're applying to and think about the student population. I'm going to a school with average academic standards and average people, and I truly think it's where I belong.

Don't sweat it. I got rejected by my first choice even though I was over qualified (there was something weird going on with that, but the DOD won't tell you why you were rejected).

tell me about it. i'll blame my laziness. hahvahd's apparently all work and no play lol. i didnt really think i'd get into harvard, but i was expecting to get into williams college. i didnt. gayness.

so it looks like im goin to sewanee. it was my first choice before i was suckered into applying to harvard and williams anyway.

I love our system, a lot of secondary schools have collages attached where you can do a lot of the corses you want.
Since I already went to that school there was no acceptance issue.



It's all about perseverance, a lot of people I know havn't got into the Universities they wanted, they just keep trying.

Peace,
Phillips.

I had been talking to the college counselor since sophmore year.

I applied to one school because it was the closest University of California. That was the only reason I went to school. If I had actually gone to the campus I would have never even considered it. It is like they got one guy and one girl and cloned the hell out of them. Down with the O.C.!!!
